摘要
It has been shown that phase contrast in atomic force microscopy (AFM) can be used to obtain adequate information on the density and distribution of antiphase domains on the surface of CdHgTe films grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a Si(301) substrate. By comparing the AFM phase images of the film surface with TEM images of structural defects in the near-surface region, the relation between microstructure and micromorphology of the films is revealed.
