AbstractDislocations in GaAs are analysed by X-ray topography in order to relate their nature to their efficiency in generating growth steps. The analysis is mainly based on comparing double crystal back reflection images of the defects to calculated misorientations of the crystal surface which are caused at the outcrop. All types of dislocations are equally effective provided their Burgers vector has a component normal to the growth interface. Concentric growth step patterns, which develop in varying numbers on different samples are not caused by substrate dislocations.

The sagittal-bent Laue monochromator can provide an ideal way to focus high-energy X-ray beams. However, the anticlastic curvature induced by sagittal bending has a great influence on the crystal performance. Thus, characterizing the bent-crystal shape is very important for predicting the performance of the bent-crystal monochromator. In this paper the crystal profile is measured by off-line optical metrology and on-line X-ray experiments. The off-line results showed that the bent-crystal surface could be well fitted to a saddle surface apart from a redundant cubic term which was related to the different couples applied on the crystal. On-line characterization of the meridional and the sagittal radius of the bent crystal includes double-crystal topography and ray-tracing measurement. In addition, the double-crystal topography experiment could be used as a quick diagnostic method for the bending condition adjustment. The sagittal radius of the bent crystal was characterized through a ray-tracing experiment by using a particularly designed tungsten mask. Moreover, rocking curves under different bending conditions were measured as well. The results were highly consistent with analytical results derived from the elastic theory. Furthermore, radii along different vertical positions under various bending conditions were measured and showed a quadratic relationship between the vertical positions and the meridional radii.

The large-sized sapphire (Ø225×205 mm, 27.5 kg) was grown successfully by SAPMAC method (sapphire growth technique with micro-pulling and shoulder-expanding at cooled center). The surface quality of the specimens was characterized by micro-Raman spectroscopy, and double crystal X-ray diffractometry (DCD) was utilized to investigate its crystalline perfection. The measurement of rocking curves was performed on various specimens from different region of large sapphire boule. The experimental results showed that CMP (chemo-mechanical polishing) with subsequent suitable chemically etching can develop the best-quality sapphire crystal surface and the values of FWHM obtained by conventional DCD were in the range from 27” to 58”. The infrared spectral transmission (2.0-4.5 5m) of sapphire crystal exceeded 82%. It is confirmed of SAPMAC growth method characteristics with in-situ annealing, small temperature gradient and low residual stress level by numerical simulation analysis.

AbstractIn this letter, we investigated the correlation between as-grown surface morphologies and Mn compositions of Ga1-xMnxAs epilayers - a III-V diluted magnetic semiconductor - grown by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). Ga1-xMnxAs epilayers were grown at 595 °C from 50 % Ga + 50 % Bi mixed solvent. The grown layers were characterized by energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDS) and atomic forced microscopy (AFM). The Mn composition measured by EDS after growth process was varied from 1 to 7 %. As increasing Mn composition surface morphologies of as-grown Ga1-xMnxAs epilayers were varied. At higher Mn compositions, the morphology of the surface layers degrades strongly, preventing removal of the solution-melt from it. Key words: LPE, as-grown, surface morphology, Mn composition, Ga1-xMnxAs, energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (EDS), atomic forced microscopy (AFM).

ABSTRACTIn our study, closed-core threading screw dislocations and micropipes were studied using synchrotron x-ray topography of various geometries. The Burgers vector magnitude of TSDs can be quantitatively determined from their dimensions in back-reflection x-ray topography, based on ray-tracing simulation and this has been verified by the images of elementary TSDs. Dislocation senses of closed-core threading screw dislocations and micropipes can be revealed by grazing-incidence x-ray topography. The threading screw dislocations can be converted into Frank partial dislocations on the basal planes and this has been confirmed by transmission synchrotron x-ray topography.
