S. Stepanov et al., Influence of Poisson's ratio uncertainty on calculations of the bowing parameter for strained InGaN layers, MRS I J N S, 6(6), 2001, pp. 1-8
The composition dependence of emission energy of pseudomorphically strained
InGaN layers with In content up to 0.2 is obtained. It is found that the m
ain reason of "scatter" in published values of the InGaN bowing parameter i
s the uncertainty of the Poisson's ratio determination. It is shown that af
ter recalculation to the same Poisson's ratio, most published data yield es
sentially the same results as compared to experimental uncertainty.
