Figure 11
ECCI of threading dislocations in GaAs/Ge. (Left) Experimental and simulated SA-ECPs of GaAs, with the inset showing the direct beam positions 1–9 and selected diffraction conditions obtained by tilting the sample in a small circle of radius 0.5° around position 1, annotated as a + symbol. (Right) Mosaic of BSE ECCI micrographs acquired corresponding to channeling conditions 1–9. The micrographs 2–9 in the mosaic correspond to a 0.5° offset in gnomonic pattern relative to position 1. The micrographs show three distinct dislocations with their contrast changing significantly with the slight change in [uvw], affirming that even a small (∼0.5°) deviation from the exact channeling orientation strongly alters the observed defect contrast.
