摘要: Using a valence force field, we predict the symmetric lattice distortions around isovalent impurities in 64 semiconductor-impurity systems. For five systems for which extended x-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) data are available, results excellent agreement with experiment. Our theory also explains quantitatively, without adjustable parameters, observed bond-length variations solid solutions ${A}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{B}_{x}C$ of semiconductor alloys, as well their excess enthalpies mixing.
