Cj. Rossouw et al., DYNAMICAL ZONE-AXIS ELECTRON-DIFFRACTION CONTRAST OF BORON-DOPED SI MULTILAYERS, Philosophical magazine. A. Physics of condensed matter. Defects and mechanical properties, 69(2), 1994, pp. 255-265
Thickness extinction fringe profiles are analysed under zone-axis diff
raction conditions to characterize strain in Si/SiB multilayers. For t
he exact [110] zone-axis orientation, three branches of the dispersion
surface dominate the 250 keV electron wavefunction, leading to a simp
lified analysis. Thickness fringe extinction periodicities and shifts
associated with strains are interpretable in terms of two dominant int
erbranch extinction distances.
