| Resumo: | The observation of atomic ordering and signatures of defects in self-assembled Ge islands using x-ray diffraction techniques have been previously treated as unrelated subjects. However, mutual understanding can be achieved when both subjects are studied in a common frame. Here, we report on measurements and analysis of both defects and atomic ordering in Si1−xGex islands epitaxially grown on Si(001) substrates as a function of growth temperature. By using x-ray diffraction and mapping around a bulk forbidden reflection, defect sizes, and in-plane spacing between nearby dislocations are extracted and related to the composition of the islands. The results fit well with an independent determination using selective wet chemical etching and atomic force microscopy measurements. Moreover, the temperature dependence of the ordered domain size is discussed. Although both atomic ordering and defect formation take place independently in the system, it is found that the relaxation provided by the onset of defects does not affect the formation of ordered domains, recently pointed out to be stabilized by strain and surface equilibrium on islands facets. |
