Anisotropic strain relaxation through prismatic and basal slip in α-(Al, Ga)2O3 on R-plane Al2O3

Pseudomorphic and partially relaxed layers of corundum phase (Al, Ga)2O3 epilayers on (01.2)-oriented Al2O3 fabricated by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) are investigated. An exact analytical (continuum elasticity) strain theory for rhombohedral heterostructures as a function of the two substrate orie...
