Abstract

Strained multilayers composed of two misfitting layers and a third, thin interlayer are considered. With appropriate intermediate lattice parameters for the interlayer, the latter is shown to stabilize the structure with respect to misfit dislocation formation. Cases of misfit corresponding both to balanced biaxial stress and to pure shear stress in the interface are treated.
