Abstract
Despite III-nitride and silicon carbide being the materials of choice for a wide range of applications, theoretical studies on their quaternary alloys are limited. Here, we report a systematic computational study on the electronic structural properties of (SiC)x (AlN)1-x and (SiC)x (AlN)1-x quaternary alloys, based on state-of-the-art first-principles evolutionary algorithms. Trigonal (SiCAlN, space group P3m1) and orthorhombic (SiCGaN, space group Pmn21) crystal phases were as predicted for x = 0.5. SiCAlN showed relatively weak thermodynamic instability, while that of SiCGaN was slightly elevated, rendering them both dynamically and mechanically stable at ambient pressure. Our calculations revealed that the Pm31 crystal has high elastic constants, (C11~458 GPa and C33~447 GPa), a large bulk modulus (B0~210 GPa), and large Young's modulus (E~364 GPa), and our results suggest that SiCAlN is potentially a hard material, with a Vickers hardness of 21 GPa. Accurate electronic structures of SiCAlN and SiCGaN were calculated using the Tran-Blaha modified Becke-Johnson semi-local exchange potential. Specifically, we found evidence that SiCGaN has a very wide direct bandgap of 3.80 eV, while that of SiCAlN was indirect at 4.6 eV. Finally, for the quaternary alloys, a relatively large optical bandgap bowing of ~3 eV was found for SiCGaN, and a strong optical bandgap bowing of 0.9 eV was found for SiCAlN.

Abstract
Misfit strain plays a crucial role in semiconductor heteroepitaxy, driving alloy intermixing or the introduction of dislocations. Here we predict a strong coupling between these two modes of strain relaxation, with unexpected consequences. Specifically, strain relaxation by dislocations can suppress intermixing between the heterolayer and the substrate. Monte Carlo simulations and continuum modeling show that the suppression, though not absolute, can be surprisingly large, even at high temperatures. The effect is strongest for a large misfit (e.g., InAs on GaAs) or for thin substrates (e.g., Ge on silicon on insulator).

Abstract
The atomic size mismatch between different binary semiconductors has been long known to limit their mutual solubility, leading instead to phase separation into incoherent phases, forming inhomogeneous mixtures that severely limit technological applications that rely on carrier transport. We show here that this atomic size mismatch can lead, under coherent conditions, to the formation of a homogeneous alloy with characteristic (201) two-monolayer ordering. This occurs because such specific layer arrangement corresponds to a unique strain-minimizing network in tetrahedral systems.

Abstract
Because of its superior properties silicon carbide is one of the most promising materials for power electronics, hard- and biomaterials. In the solid phase, the electronic and optical properties are controlled by the stacking of double layers of Si and C atoms. In thin films, a change in the stacking order often requires stress, which can be achieved naturally in systems with nanometre length scale. For this reason, nanotubes, nanowires and clusters can be used as building blocks for the synthesis of novel materials. Furthermore, playing at the nanometre length scale enables the nature of the SiC bonding to be modified, which is of prime importance for atomic engineering of nanostructures. In this review, emphasis is placed on the theoretical principles associated with SiC cage-like clusters and experimental work resulting from them.

Abstract
An ordered Si-C alloy was observed in the products resulting from thermal reduction of molybdenum disilicide heating rods. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy measurements indicate that the Si1-xCx alloy with x approximately 25% is pure, single crystalline, and possesses a superlattice structure. The superlattice periodicity occurs along the diamond [001] direction and corresponds to the quintupling of the primary (002) periodicity. The possible growth mechanism is discussed. The Mo element is likely to play a crucial role in the growth process of the Si1-xCx alloy, since it can both reduce the energy required for breaking up C clusters and contribute to surface modification, which are of great benefit to enhance the carbon concentration and induce an ordered structure.
