Abstract

A microscopic strain distribution across commensurate interfaces between GaAs layers grown on semi-insulating GaAs substrates was observed by means of convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) and large angle convergent beam methods (LACBED). Strain relaxation at a specific distance from the interface was observed in these layers without formation of misfit dislocations. It was proposed that specific point defects distributed close to the interface can explain the asymmetric broadening of high-order Laue zone (HOLZ) lines in the CBED patterns.
