superlatticen.

Brit.

/ˈsuːpəˌlatᵻs/,

/ˈsjuːpəˌlatᵻs/, U.S.

/ˈsupərˌlædəs/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: super- prefix, lattice n.

Etymology: < super- prefix + lattice n.

Materials Science.

1. An ordered arrangement of certain atoms in a solid solution extending through large parts of the solution and coexisting with the disorder of the remaining atoms. Also (in later use): a solid solution having such a structure; = superstructure n. 3.

superstructure1931

1925 Proc. Royal Soc. A. 108 653 The positions and intensities of the lines are in accord with a face-centred cubic lattice throughout the whole range of concentration, and there is no evidence of a super-lattice.

1943 Proc. Royal Soc. A. 181 310 The few remaining cases were all in the neighbourhood of 25% Ni, where there is reason to suspect a superlattice in the α-phase.

1979 Nature 11 Oct. 469/2 Ordered solid solutions (superstructures or superlattices), in which atoms of one kind segregate into a particular set of lattice positions, are usually obtained by slow cooling at the critical ordering temperature.

2008 H. Fredriksson & U. Åkerlind Physics Functional Materials i. 38 If the temperature of the ordered solid solution increases above a certain critical temperature, the attractive forces are not strong enough to maintain the superlattice against thermal agitation.

2. A small-scale spatial periodicity in the composition of a semiconductor. Also: a semiconductor possessing such periodicity.

1970 IBM Jrnl. Res. & Devel. 14 61 We consider a one-dimensional periodic potential, or ‘super~lattice’, in monocrystalline semiconductors formed by a periodic variation of alloy composition or of impurity density during epitaxial growth.

1977 McGraw-Hill Yearbk. Sci. & Technol. 380/1 Photocurrent measurements in the superlattice structures have made it possible to observe simultaneously quantum states and associated anomalous conductance.

1987 T. Forester High-tech Society (1989) ii. 38 Experimental superlattices in computer company and university labs have allegedly recorded speeds four times faster than those for gallium arsenide chips.
