Abstract
We study the impact that local strain effects have on the spatial distribution of In in coherent InxGa1-xN grown epitaxially on GaN(0001) using an effective crystal growth modeling technique that combines a semi-grand-canonical Monte Carlo simulation with an ab initio parametrized empirical force field.

Consequences of this nanophase separation for the enhanced radiative emission through carrier localization in InxGa1-xN of x<1/3 are discussed. © 2014 American Physical Society.
