21. Thermodynamics vs. kinetics Thermodynamics can tell the feasibility of a process, i.e., ideally what can be achieved under the specified conditions Kinetics can tell the reality of a process, i.e., steps involved, the rates of each step etc. It follows: knowledge on both thermodynamics and kinetics is necessary Basic goal of thermodynamics as applied to epitaxy: To define the compositions of the various phases in an equilibrium system at constant temperature and pressure. E.g., what is GaxIn1-xAsyP1-y if T, P and III/V ratio in the gas phase are givenTo assess the thermodynamic stability of the solid phases formed To assess the dopant incorporation

32. Basic thermodynamics of phase equilibrium
General:G = H TS where H = E + PV
At constant temp.: G = H - TS
When are two phases 1 and 2 (both containing e.g., two species A and B) in equilibrium?
If A in 1 = A in 2 andB in 1 = B in 2i is called the chemical potential of species i; it is a partial molar derivative of Gibbs free energy, G

4Chemical potentials of Chemical potentials of A and B in a mixture AA and B in a mixture A--B at B at xxBB
G (molar free energy) = xA A + xB B (1) Gibbs- Duhem equation:
xA dA + xB dB = 0 at const T and P (2) Differentiate (1) w.r.t. xB:
(dG/dxB)T, P = B - A (3)= Slope of the tangent at xB
N.B.: A and B are the chemical potentials for the composition at xB

5EQULIBRIUM CONDITION FOR TWO PHASES
Eq. of the tangent passing through xB' in G-x diagram (Gibbs isotherm):(y - G') = (B' - A' ) (xB - xB') (4)
G' from (1) in (4):y (xA' A' + xB' B') = (B' - A' ) (xB - xB')ory = (xA' A' + xB' B') + (B' - A' ) (xB - xB') (5)
At xB' = xB = 0: y-intercept is A'At xB' = xB = 1: y-intercept is B'
=> A COMMON TANGENT AT xB' (phase 1) and xB''(phase 2) MEANS SAME A AND B FOR BOTH PHASES = EQUILIBRIUM

i in ideal gas mixturesi = i0 + RT ln (pi/pi0)pi = partial pressure of ipi0 = vapour pressure of pure component
i in ideal liquid or solid solutions i = i0 + RT ln (xi)xi = mole fraction of i
i in non-ideal liquid or solid solutions not well known i = i0 + RT ln (xii) = i0 + RT ln (ai) = activity coefficient, a = activity a or not knownRemedy: Develop a model (Several models described in Stringfellow)

When does phase segregation arise? Same rules on slide 3 also explain phase segregation in an alloy
Case study of A-B formation:1) If EAB < ( EAA+EBB) where E = energy of interaction, then free energy of mixing very large and negative with respect to that of the ideal mixture=> phase segregation not favoured 2) If EAB = ( EAA+EBB) then free energy of mixing is still negative but not as large as case 1 above=> phase segregation not favoured3) If EAB > ( EAA+EBB), =>phase separation feasible
f = mole fraction

Driving force for crystal growthDriving force for crystal growth
Consider the following reaction (in a closed chamber):M (s) + aA (g) = bB (g) + cC (g) + dD (g) (1)a, b, c, d = reaction coefficients
At equilibrium:At equilibrium:M,solid + aA = bB + cC + dD (2)M,solid = - aA0 + bB0 + cC0 + dD0 + RT ln (PA,eq-a PB,eqb PC,eqc PD,eqd)
(3)where Pi,eq = equilibrium pressureEqm. Constant of the reaction , K(T) = PA,eq-a PB,eqb PC,eqc PD,eqd (4)Therefore, (4) becomes
M,solid = - aA0 + bB0 + cC0 + dD0 + RT ln K(T) (5)

At nonAt non--equilibrium:equilibrium:We assume a hypothetical chemical potential of the solid M, M,gas
M,gas + aA = bB + cC + dD (6)
M,gas = - aA0 + bB0 + cC0 + dD0 + RT ln (PA-a PBb PCc PDd) (7)where Pi = nonequilibrium pressure (e.g. Input pressure)
Growth: M,gas > M,solid (8)Etching: M,gas < M,solid (9)
Driving force for crystal growth: = M,gas - M,solid = RT ln[PA-a PBb PCc PDd/K(T)] (10)
