Abstract
The relaxation of the mismatch-induced strain in (0001) wurtzite type epilayers of CdSe and CdS and of related superlattices on GaAs(111) is discussed. For CdSe/GaAs(111), high-resolution electron microscopy sh ows that the misfit dislocations are 60-degrees dislocations, the glid e of which is limited to the plane parallel to the interface. The epil ayers are therefore free of in-grown threading arms. The thickness of that region in the layer, which is significantly strained, is found to be larger in case of a two-dimensional growth mode than in case of a three-dimensional one.
