The control of defects introduced during epitaxial growth is a key point in manufacturing devices of high efficiency and durability. In this work, it is demonstrated how useful hybrid reflections are for the study of epitaxial structures with anisotropic strain gradients due to patterned substrates. High accuracy in detecting and distinguishing elastic and plastic relaxations is one of the greatest advantages of measuring this type of reflection, as well as the fact that the method can be exploited in a symmetric reflection geometry on a commercial high-resolution diffractometer. Keywords:optoelectronics, Group III-nitride semiconductors, epitaxial growth, X-ray multiple diffraction, interface defects Affiliations:| Domagała J.Z. | - | Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences (PL) | | Morelhão S.L. | - | University of Sao Paulo (BR) | | Sarzyński M. | - | Military University of Technology (PL) | | Maździarz M. | - | IPPT PAN | | Dłużewski P. | - | IPPT PAN | | Leszczyński M. | - | other affiliation |
