Title Mechanism for liquid phase epitaxial growth of nonequilibrium compositions producing a coherent interface
Date 1977
Description A model is presented for growth by so-called composition pulling, wherein an epitaxial deposit grows coherently but with a composition different from that which would be in bulk equilibrium with the liquid phase from which growth occurs. The breakdown of coherent growth occurs when a dislocation nucleates at a ledge at the growing solid-liquid interface. An expression for the critical condition for breakdown is presented.
