Abstract

Temperature-gradient growth of GaInAs〈Bi〉 layers on InAs substrates has been studied, and distribution coefficients in the Ga-In-As-Bi system have been determined. Data are presented on the influence of temperature, temperature gradient, and melt composition on the quality of the epilayers.
