Overview

Nanoscale imaging study demonstrates three-dimensional strain and defect mapping in a single InGaAs nanowire, indicating pathways for in operando characterization of integrated optoelectronics.

Key Points

  • To map three-dimensional lattice strain and structural stacking defects in a single indium gallium arsenide nanowire using coherent X-ray diffraction.
  • Targeted a single InGaAs nanowire on a silicon substrate using coherent nanofocused X-rays across the 21̅1̅0 and 011̅0 Bragg peaks.
  • Implemented multiangle Bragg projection ptychography (maBPP) to reconstruct overlapping nanodiffraction patterns across multiple angles without scan registration.
  • Reconstruction of the 21̅1̅0 Bragg peak demonstrated that lattice orientation shifts along the nanowire length while cross-sectional strain remains stable, avoiding perturbation of the band structure.
  • Reconstruction of the 011̅0 Bragg peak resolved three-dimensional stacking faults and local strains, uncovering sharp planar boundaries between wurtzite crystal phases that cause carrier scattering.
