Binary and Ternary Random Alloys

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy of Semiconductors

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 190))

Abstract

The atomic-scale structure of binary and ternary bulk random alloys has been studied using extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy and a variety of theoretical models. The short-range structure of the alloys strongly deviates from the long-range crystallographic average and the element-specific bond lengths remain close to the values of the parent materials. The lattice mismatch is thus accommodated mostly by bond angle relaxation and only to a small extent by bond length relaxation.
