This book presents a comprehensive account of the phenomenon of
spontaneous ordering. The phenomenon, which can be categorized as a
self-organized process, is observed to occur spontaneously during
epitaxial growth of certain ternary alloy semiconductors and
results in a modification of their structural, electronic, and
optical properties. There has been a great deal of interest in
learning how to control this phenomenon so that it may be used for
tailoring desirable electronic and optical properties. There has
been even greater interest in exploiting the phenomenon for its
unique ability to provide an experimental environment of controlled
alloy statistical fluctuations. As such, it impacts areas of
semiconductor science and technology related to the materials
science of epitaxial growth, statistical mechanics, and electronic
structure of alloys and electronic and photonic devices.
During the past two decades, significant progress has been made
toward understanding the mechanisms that drive this phenomenon and
the changes in physical properties that result from it. A variety
of experimental techniques have been used to probe the phenomenon
and several attempts made at providing theoretical models, both for
the ordering mechanisms as well as electronic structure changes.
The various chapters of this book provide a detailed account of
these efforts during the past decade.
