Abstract
Results of electron-microscopic, electron-diffraction, and X-ray-phase studies of the heteroboundary between the layers of zinc selenide and solid solution (Zn1 −x Cd x Te)1 − y (In2Te3) y obtained in synthesis from the vapor phase in an elasticity field under strongly nonequilibrium conditions (upon condensation on the cooled substrate) are presented. Mechanisms of nucleation (via spinodal decay) and ordering (due to propagation of elastic waves) are determined. It is demonstrated that high wave propagation velocity and the absence of diffusion provides fast orientation of nuclei of the new phase and high perfection of the crystalline layer of the solid solution.
