In addition, one of the main conditions for liquid-phase epitaxy is that the solution-melt must be
supersaturated with the components of the solid solution, i.e. both GaAs and ZnSe. If GaAs and ZnSe
molecules in Sn decompose into individual Ga, As, Zn and Se atoms, then with the content of 4.6
mol.% GaAs and 0.3 mol.% ZnSe in Sn at 720°C, the solution-melt, according to the state diagram of
the alloys, will not be supersaturated not with gallium, not arsenic, not zinc and not selenium, and
epitaxial growth of the (GaAs)

is observed under these conditions indicates that the tin solution-melt is
supersaturated with both GaAs and ZnSe molecules, and that GaAs and ZnSe molecules do not
disintegrate into individual atoms Ga, As, Zn and Se.
Therefore, we assume that GaAs and ZnSe in liquid tin are mainly in the form of GaAs and
ZnSe molecules (Fig. 1). Since the sum of the covalent radii of the atoms of GaAs (r

and ZnSe (r

= 2.45 Å) molecules are close, and the sum of the valences of their atoms are equal

), then, consequently, the substitution of diatomic molecules in lattice sites of a
solid solution are energetically more favorable (Fig. 6) than atomic substitution of a crystal lattice site
by Ga, As, Zn or Se atoms separately.
In fig. 6 shows the tetrahedral lattice of the GaAs binary compound. Atom Ga* (cationic lattice
site) and As* (anionic lattice site) are in the center of the corresponding tetrahedra. The Ga* atom has
3 valence electrons, and all of them will participate in the formation of covalent bonds with three
neighboring As atoms - bonds (1), (2) and (3) (see Fig. 6). The As* atom has 5 valence electrons, 3 of
