Abstract
A model has been developed to calculate the solubility of nitrogen in conventional binary III-V compounds. The model takes into account internal deformations due to relaxation of atoms and the statistical origin of alloys. It is shown that the dispersion of bond lengths in III-V-N solid solutions plays an important role and cannot be neglected. The solubility limit increases by more than three orders of magnitude if both sublattices relax to distances greater than the sixth nearest neighbor position.
