摘要：
We report a quantitative theoretical and experimental analysis of strain relaxation in GexSi1-x/Si(110) heterostructures. It is shown that above a critical composition, the critical thickness for edge a/6(112) Shockley partial dislocations is less than that for 60-degrees a/2 [110] total dislocations. The net (excess) stress is greater on the edge a/6[112] dislocations for epilayer thicknesses, h<h(x), but greater on the 60-degrees a/2[110] dislocations for h > h(x). The sensitive calculated dependence of h(x) upon the stacking fault energy per unit area gamma allows an experimental determination of gamma = 65 +/- 10 mJ m-2 for x is similar to 0.3 in GexSi1-x.
