Abstract

V originále

The process of spontaneous lateral composition modulation in short-period InAs-AlAs superlattices has been investigated by grazing-incidence x-ray diffraction. We have developed a theoretical description of x-ray scattering from laterally modulated structures that makes it possible to determine the lateral composition modulation directly without assuming any structure model. From experimental intensity distributions in reciprocal space we have determined the amplitudes of the modulation and its degree of periodicity and their dependence on the number of superlattice periods. From the data it follows that the modulation process cannot be explained by bunching of monolayer steps and most likely, it is caused by stress-driven morphological instabilities of the growing surface.

In Czech

Studovali jsme proces spontánní příčné modulace v krátkoperiodických supermřížkách InAs-AlAs rtg difrakcí pod malými úhly. Byl vypracován teoretický model. Struktura supermřížek byla zjištěna srovnáním simulací s měřením rtg dat.
