Abstract
Available experimental data on the composition and conditions for crystallization of semiconductor Hg1−zMnzTe solid-state solutions epitaxially grown on Cd(Zn)Te substrates reveal a number of peculiarities, which indicate that the substrate strongly affects the character of crystallization of the solid phase. In this paper we discuss data on liquid-phase epitaxy of Hg1−zMnzTe which suggest the possibility that elastic stresses caused by the mismatch between the crystal lattice parameters of the substrate and the epitaxial layer can influence the composition and conditions for crystallization of these layers. An important tool in our investigation is a thermodynamic analysis of the metastable equilibrium between the stressed solid phase and the supersaturated solution of components.
