Abstract

Basal planes of hexagonal cadmium sulphide high vacuum deposited on the (111) faces of NaCl single crystals by the hot wall technique have been used for epitaxial deposition of indium phosphide by evaporation of the constituent elements. Two 2-d {111} orientations, of InP films, 180' to one another were found to develop. Two new hexagonal structures with respective c₀ values corresponding to 3a₀ of CdS and 2a₀ of InP and also a cubic superstructure having a₀ equal to 8 a₀/3 of InP have been encountered in some instances. The new phases have been attributed to intermixing in the heteroepitaxial films.
