“…At the same time, at a certain growth rate, the minimal thickness of the layer for the maximum lattice constant can somewhat change with an increase in the density of dislocations in the substrate up to more than 10 6 cm -2 . 16,17 It is noteworthy that the increase in the tangential lattice constant is associated with tensile strain in the layers, and not with the difference between thermal expansion coefficients of the KCl and the PbSe layers, when, on the contrary, the lattice constant of layers decreases. The increase in the lattice constant of layers is connected with the deformations formed at the substrate-layer interface, and not at the boundaries of subgrainsin this case, disorientation is minimal and makes up one hundred-thousandth of a minute.…”
