Appearance of miscibility gaps in solid solution CdTe-Ga2Te3 was describe taking account of fluctuation of lattice constants due to an increasing concentration of Ga2Te3. Introducing a new parameter F, degree of fluctuation of lattice, a relation between half-value width of rocking curve and the fluctuation of lattice parameter was obtained. It was shown that the solid solution becomes immiscible when the fluctuation of lattice parameter exceeds about 2.5%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
