19. For InGaAs alloys, a nonlinear dependence of the Cij on the composition has recently been determined; see P. S. Branicio, J. P. Rino, F. Shimojo, R. K. Kalia, A. Nakano, and P. Vashishta, J. Appl. Phys. 10.1063/1.1601691 94, 3840 (2003)
20. We have found that the contribution to d EE /dP in InGaAs/GaAs QWs arising from the nonlinear composition dependence of Cij is significantly smaller than the contribution originating from third-order elasticity. Nevertheless, further studies of the composition dependence of the Cij and Cijk elastic constants and the deformation potentials in InGaAs and InGaN alloys are desirable.
