摘要: Diffusivity of a strained heterostructure was theoretically investigated, and general diffusion equations with strain potential were deduced. There an additional diffusivity by the gradient as well concentration gradient. The strain-induced function concentration, its temperature dependence formulated. activation energy measured high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. This result can be generally applied for investigation in heterostructures.
