Phys.5, 17 (1921) Vegard’s law states that the lattice constants of a relaxed ternary compound (formula presented) will scale linearly with x between (formula presented) and (formula presented) lattice parameters. This is generally accepted for semiconductor alloys and it has been experimentally and theoretically demonstrated for (formula presented)
