Large-Scale Defect Clusters with Hexagonal Honeycomb-like Arrangement in Ammonothermal GaN Crystals

In this paper, we investigate, using X-ray Bragg diffraction imaging and defect selective etching, a new type of extended defect that occurs in ammonothermally grown gallium nitride (GaN) single crystals. This hexagonal “honeycomb” shaped defect is composed of bundles of parallel threading edge disl...
