摘要: Oval defects in In0.04Ga0.96As/GaAs strained-layer heterostructures have been investigated using cathodoluminescence (CL) and wavelength dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (WDS). WDS studies showed that the particulates seen at center of oval are indium rich gallium depleted. A luminescent halo was around CL mode. When studied further, it shown peak obtained from due to shifts lower wavelengths as beam is moved defect edge region, indicating a decreasing gradient concentration.
