Computational Analysis of Low-Energy Dislocation Configurations in Graded Layers

Graded layers are widely exploited in semiconductor epitaxy as they typically display lower threading dislocation density with respect to constant-composition layers. However, strain relaxation occurs via a rather complex distribution of misfit dislocations. Here we exploit a suitable computational...
