Imaging shape and strain in nanoscale engineered semiconductors for photonics by coherent x-ray diffraction

Coherent x-ray diffractive imaging is a powerful technique for determining strain on the nanometer scale. Here, it is used to image semiconducting GaAs1-yNy structures on a GaAs substrate and to measure strain, demonstrating its potential for studying highly strained interfaces in devices.
