Abstract
Dilute-bismide compounds of the form III-Bi-V are a prospective class of 'highly mismatched' alloys (HMAs) in which a small fraction of the host atoms is replaced by a very different element, i.e. another group III or V atom. Bismides have been predicted to provide new fundamental material physics that could lead to significant enhancement in the perfor-mance of optoelectronic and photoni…
