About

III

Calculate material properties for III-V compound semiconductors like AlGaInAsP. It determines compositions, lattice constant, strain, bandgap, and effective masses for InP or GaAs substrates.

Highlights
  • III-V compound semiconductor calculations
  • Material property determination
  • Composition calculation (x, y, z)
  • Lattice constant and strain analysis
  • Bandgap and effective mass calculation
  • Supports InP and GaAs substrates

Read full description

Application to calculate the compositions and material properties of a III-V compound semiconductor. Either InP or GaAs is assumed for the substrate. Some of the compositions and material parameters of the AlGaInAsP compound semiconductor are specified to determine the remain unknown parameters. The following properties are shown as a result: compositions (x, y, z), lattice constant, strain, bandgap, relative energy positions of the conduction and valence bands, and effective masses of the electron and holes.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: 元素 at Free against III's $2.99. 元素 also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 17 months). III's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
