Solid-solution hardening and Vegard's rule of In1-xGaxSb

Abstract

The solid-solution hardening of In1-xGaxSb was investigated by means of Vickers indentation microhardness measurements. It shows two hardness peaks and deviates considerably, on that account, from II–VI cation solid solutions which were investigated previously, as well as from solid solutions with preferentially either metallic or ionic bonds known from the literature. Vegard's rule, as a linear lattice parameter–composition relation, is valid for In1-xGaxSb. © 1998 Kluwer Academic Publishers
