Abstract

A preliminary survey of the dislocation structures of grain boundaries in Bridgman grownpolycrystalline GaAs suggests that many of the phenomena observed in grain boundaries inface centered cubic metals, silicon and germanium also occur in boundaries of a polar semiconductor. Our experiments show that low angle grain boundaries are comprised of crystal lattice dislocations and deviations from coincidence orientations are accommodated bysecondary dislocations; specifically, in twins, the a-fringe technique reveals that there are multiple structures where the different domains are separated by partial grain boundary dislocations.
