摘要
Synchrotron monochromatic-beam x-ray topography observation has been performed on high-quality ammonothermal gallium nitride single crystal to evaluate threading dislocations (TD) in a nondestructive manner. Asymmetric diffractions with six equivalent g-vectors of 11-26, in addition to a symmetric diffraction with g = 0008, were applied to determine the Burgers vectors (b) of dislocations. It was found that pure edge-type TDs with b = < 11 - 20 > / 3 did not exist in the sample. A dominant proportion of TDs were of mixed type with b = < 11 - 20 > /3 + < 0001 >, i. e., so-called c + a dislocations. Pure 1c screw dislocations with b = < 0001 > and TDs with c-component larger than 1c were also observed.
