    Abstract:
    Interdiffusion coefficients on the group V sublattice of GaAs were determined in GaAsP/GaAs and GaAsSb/GaAs superlattices. Strained GaAs0.86P0.14/GaAs, GaAs0.8P0.2/GaAs0.975P0.025 and GaAs0.98Sb0.02/GaAs superlattices were annealed between 850°C and 1100°C under different arsenic vapor pressures. The diffusion coefficient was measured by secondary ion mass spectroscopy and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy. The interdiffusion coefficient was higher under arsenic-rich conditions than under gallium-rich conditions, pointing to an interstitial-substitutional type of diffusion mechanism
