Experimental setup and scanning geometry. (a) The energy spectrum of the white X-ray beam ranges from 5 to 25 keV. The beam was focused down to 0.5 × 0.7 µm by a pair of Kirkpatrick–Baez mirrors. The sample-to-detector distance was about 8 cm and the scattering intensity was collected at an angle of about 90°. (b) The nanowire is self-suspended across an Si micro-trench and lies on one of its 〈111〉 side facets with its growth direction along []. The mechanically deformed nanowire is scanned by a nano-focused white X-ray beam at 12 different positions along its growth axis, marked in black and numbered from 1 to 12. |
