Spontaneous Ordering in Semiconductor Alloys

The phenomenon of spontaneous ordering is observed to occur spontaneously during epitaxial growth of certain ternary alloy semiconductors and results in a modification of their electronic and optical properties. There has been a great deal of interest in learning how to control this phenomenon. This book presents an account of this phenomenon.
