ABSTRACTA thermodynamic analysis of GaN grown by MOVPE has been proposed based on quasi-thermodynamic equilibrium established on the solid-vapor interface. Phase diagrams for the MOVPE growth of GaN using TEGa and NH3 has been calculated. The phase diagram is consists of four phases regions: the region for single condensed phase of GaN, the region for double condensed phase of GaN (s) +Ga(l), the etching region with Ga droplets and the etching region without Ga droplets. The effect of growth temperature, reactor pressure, content of carrier gas, deposition ratio of NH3 and V/III ratio upon growth of GaN using MOVPE has been studied.

The thermodynamic analysis of the condensed phase diagrams of binary system solid solutions of the ascending type, viz. Na2SO4–Ag2SO4 and of the minimum type, ameltrope, viz. Ag2SO4–K2SO4, Na2SO4–K2SO4 is presented. The analysis identifies the basis for ameltrope behavior and provides for the evaluation of α, the fraction of dissociation, and ΔHDiss, the enthalpy of dissociation, of the dissociating component. Keywords: alkali sulfates solid solutions, thermodynamic analysis ameltropes, molten alkali sulfates dissociation, solid–solid phase diagrams, ionic melts.

CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagram) is a useful tool to construct phase diagrams of various materials under different thermodynamic conditions. Researchers have extended the use of the CALPHAD method to nanophase diagrams and pressure phase diagrams. In this study, the phase diagram of an arbitrary A–B nanoparticle system under pressure was investigated. The effects of the interaction parameter and excess volume were investigated with increasing pressure. The eutectic temperature was found to decrease in most cases, except when the interaction parameter in the liquid was zero and that in the solid was positive, while the excess volume parameter of the liquid was positive. Under these conditions, the eutectic temperature increased with increasing pressure.

Phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of five additive molten salt ternary systems and nine reciprocal molten salt ternary systems containing the ions Li+, Na+, [Formula: see text], OH− are calculated from the thermodynamic properties of their binary subsystems which were obtained previously by a critical assessment of the thermodynamic data and the phase diagrams in these binary systems. Thermodynamic properties of ternary liquid phases are estimated from the binary properties by means of the Conformal Ionic Solution Theory. The ternary phase diagrams are then calculated from these thermodynamic properties by means of computer programs designed for the purpose. It is found that a ternary phase diagram can generally be calculated in this way with a maximum error about twice that of the maximum error in the binary phase diagrams upon which the calculations are based. If, in addition, some reliable ternary phase diagram measurements are available, these can be used to obtain small ternary correction terms. In this way, ternary phase diagram measurements can be smoothed and the isotherms drawn in a thermodynamically correct way. The thermodynamic approach permits experimental data to be critically assessed in the light of thermodynamic principles and accepted solution models. A critical assessment of error limits on all the calculated ternary diagrams is made, and suggestions as to which composition regions merit further experimental study are given.

ABSTRACTThe ZnSe-ZnTe combination is a potential candidate for the realisation of visible light-emitting devices. The lattice mismatch between bulk ZnSe and bulk ZnTe is important (∼ 8%). Therefore, their hetero-structures are strained and high quality superlattices will only be grown if having small periods. This prescription can be fulfilled in the case of metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) growth by combining triethylamine dimethyl zinc adduct with di-isopropyl telluride as precursors for the growth of the ZnTe layers. The growth of high quality ZnTe can then be performed at a temperature of 300ºC , close to the best MOVPE-growth temperature for ZnSe (280ºC). Lowering the growth temperature of ZnTe to this value, we could thus obtain sharp interfaces. This work reports on ZnSe-ZnTe superlattices grown on ZnSe and ZnTe buffers deposited on GaAs substrates. We demonstrate that the stokes-shift between the reflectance and photoluminescence features ( ∼ 40 meV ) measured when the thickness of ZnSe layers does not exceed 20 Å, drastically increases for layer thicknesses beyond this critical value. This, we interpret in terms of the onset of plastic relaxation which favours tellurium diffusion in the ZnSe slices. Then photoluminescence spectra broaden ( contributions of trapped-excitons dominate), and observation of free excitons in reflectance become impossible. We have studied in detail the optical properties of the superlattices and compared our findings with the predictions of a multiband envelope function calculation. We show that both zone centre excitons as well as excitons associated with the miniband dispersions (saddle-point excitons) are observed in these superlattices.
