摘要
A monitoring technique for molecular beam epitaxial growth of InAs/GaAs(001) nanoislands is presented. With the help of a combination of synchrotron radiation and a two-dimensional X-ray detector, X-ray diffraction intensity mappings in the reciprocal space have been measured during growth at a rate of 9.6 s per frame. This method provides information on strain distribution and height of Stranski-Krastanov islands under the in situ condition. Because the use of X-rays is not hindered by ambient pressure, this technique is suitable for industry-oriented applications such as organometallic vapor-phase epitaxy as well.
