Random Microscopic Model of Quaternary Alloys
Jerzy Konior, Jan Łażewski, A. Kisiel · Acta Physica Polonica A · 1997
A random model of microscopic structure of zinc-blende type A 1 _ x B x C l _ y D y quaternary alloys, based entirely on the elastic bond-stretching and bond-bending forces of two-element components AC, AD, BC, and BD, was constructed.The model was applied to Cd1_xMnxTe1_ ySey quaternary alloys and the calculated nearest-neighbor distances were compared with the experimental data.Additionally, a possibility of particle exchange (within each sublattice) was included into the model and a possibility of studying the preferential coordination was discussed.
