摘要: Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is used to determine the composition of quaternary (Ga,In)(N,As) quantum wells (QWs). Through a combined analysis chemically sensitive (002) dark-field images and lattice-resolving high-resolution TEM images, local distributions nitrogen indium in growth direction are determined. In particular, we were able directly detect existence segregation QWs. A comparison with distribution profile nitrogen-free (In,Ga)As QWs, grown under similar conditions, revealed that incorporating N into alloy enhanced segregation.
