151 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Compositional ordering in semiconductor alloysCompositional ordering has been observed in a wide variety of III/V semiconductor alloys as well as in SiGe alloys. The thermodynamic driving force is now understood in terms of minimization of the microscopic strain energy of the bonds in the solid. However, the mechanism leading to the specific o...Semiconductor alloys; Transmission-electron-diffraction pattern; Organometallic Vaper-phase epitaxy; Cathodoluminescence1993
152 Simpson, Jamesina J.Computational and experimental study of a microwave electromagnetic bandgap structure with waveguiding defect for potential use as a bandpass wireless interconnectAs clock rates continue to rise, problems with signal integrity, cross-coupling, and radiation may render impractical the baseband metallic interconnects presently used in computers.
