Coherently strained on GaN and CaO substrates are theoretically predicted to show stable ordering in the chalcopyrite structure, as is on GaAs and InP substrates. Depending on the substrate and the film concentration, we predict a spontaneous rotation of the stablest chalcopyrite film axis from perpendicular to parallel to the (001) substrate.
