Highly elastically strained films of InGaAsP solid solutions in 1.4-1.
8 eV interval of band gaps were grown on GaAs(111)B substrates by liqu
id phase epitaxy. Elastic strains close to 1% are achieved. The determ
ined critical thicknesses exceed the predictions of the energy equilib
rium theory by Matthews and Blakeslee by as much as an order of magnit
ude. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
