Abstract

In this paper present experimental results on the quality of AIGaAs material after high concentrations of impurities have been introduced for the purpose of impurity induced disordering. A comparison between Zn and Si diffusion is presented, and the nature of the transition region between uniform alloy and as-grown periodic structure has been characterized both experimentally and theoretically. Device implications of these observations is discussed.
