Abstract

Aluminum arsenide (AlAs) is of considerable interest from the standpoint of solid-state devices, especially since its alloys with GaAs provide materials for high-speed electron and optoelectronic devices [1]. There is also widespread use of AlAs, GaAs, and Al x Ga1-x in the fabrication of III–V quantum structures [2]. A review of many phySiCal and semiconducting properties of these materials has been given in Refs. [3–5].
