Effect of bonding and static atomic displacements on composition quantification in InxGa1−xNyAs1−y

This study addresses the influence of static atomic displacements (SAD) and chemical bonding in (InGa)(NAs) alloys on structure factors for electron scattering and stresses their importance for compositional analysis. First, SAD are derived using valence force field (VFF) methods and their reliability is demonstrated by calculating residual atomic forces using density-functional theory (DFT). A systematic study of structure factors for low …
