abstract = {Quaternary AlInGaN layers were grown on conventional GaN
buffer layers on sapphire by metal organic vapour phase
epitaxy at different surface temperatures and different
reactor pressures with constant precursor flow conditions. A
wide range in compositions within $30–62\%$ Al, $5–29\%$
In, and $23–53\%$ Ga was covered, which leads to different
strain states from high tensile to high compressive. From
high-resolution x-ray diffraction and Rutherford
backscattering spectrometry, we determined the compositions,
strain states, and crystal quality of the AlInGaN layers.
Atomic force microscopy measurements were performed to
characterize the surface morphology. A critical strain value
for maximum In incorporation near the AlInGaN/GaN interface
is presented. For compressively strained layers, In
incorporation is limited at the interface as residual strain
cannot exceed an empirical critical value of about $1.1\%.$
Relaxation occurs at about 15 nm thickness accompanied by
strong In pulling. Tensile strained layers can be grown
pseudomorphically up to 70 nm at a strain state of
$0.96\%.$ A model for relaxation in compressively strained
AlInGaN with virtual discrete sub-layers, which illustrates
the gradually changing lattice constant during stress
reduction is presented.},
