Abstract:

Semiconductor alloys are unstable at critical temperatures because of the positive enthalpy of alloy formation. The critical temperature of decomposition is the function of elastic parameters which differ due to structure relaxation of epitaxial film. It opens the new way to vary the critical temperature and the phase diagram.
