Abstract
The crystallographic tilt of the epilayers with respect to their substrates has been observed in many heteroepitaxial systems. Many models have been proposed to explain this phenomenon, but none of them is suitable for the large mismatched system, such as GaAs Si . Here a new model is proposed for GaAs Si epilayers, which can also be used in other large mismatched systems. The magnitude of the tilt calculated from this model coincide well with the experimental results. Especially, this model can correctly predict the tilt direction of the GaAs Si epilayers.
