III-V Calc Help

Film-This is the main, default window.

Parameter Selector: The blue sliders select which four parameters the user is specifying. The remaining two parameters are computed every time any parameters or data are changed.

a/f Popup Menu: The lattice constant can be specified in terms of either lattice constant a or misfit f.

Data-Values used for calculations.

.a (nm): Enter lattice constants for binaries.

Eg (eV): Enter (direct) bandgapsof binaries. For indirect binaries, enter the extrapolation of the quadratic curve representing the direct portion of the connecting tie-lines.

b(eV): Enter bowing coefficients for common anion/cation ternary alloys.

Right click provides contextual menu.

 

Type-Direct/indirect transition parameters.

Indirect Compositions: Enter direct/indirect transition compositions.
