Abstract
The strain energy of ordered phases of ternary III–V alloys has been estimated. A chalcopyrite structure is found to always have a lower strain energy than 1×1 superlattices oriented along the (0,0,1) or (1,1,1) directions. Ga-As and In-As bond lengths in ordered compounds GaInAs2 are found to be in good agreement with the Mikkelsen-Boyce EXAFS measurements for the alloy. The effect of both ordering and strain on the bandstructure is also considered.
