Misfit dislocations <strong>and</strong> <strong>growth</strong><br />
Misfit between regions of different compositions (impurities, dopants)<br />
resulting in a change in the lattice constant<br />
Misfit at boundaries of <strong>growth</strong> pyramids or facets during non-planar<br />
<strong>growth</strong><br />
Simple case of constant concentration gradient gives two<br />
perpendicular sets of edge dislocations with a density<br />
