Abstract
Spontaneous CuPt ordering is observed in Alx In1-x P layers grown by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy in pure nitrogen ambient with tertiarybutylphosphine as phosphorus precursor. Changes of the degree of ordering of the Alx In1-x P epilayer versus annealing temperature have been investigated by using photoluminescence and transmission electron diffraction. The degree of ordering of the Alx In1-x P layers is reduced after annealing the sample at a temperature higher than the sample growth temperature. It becomes completely disordered when the annealing temperature reaches 900 °C and above.
