Triple-Axis X-Ray Reciprocal Space Mapping of InyGa1−yAs Thermophotovoltaic Diodes Grown on (1 0 0) InP Substrates
Analysis of the composition, strain-relaxation, layer-tilt, and the crystalline quality of InyGa1−yAs/InP1−xAsx thermophotovoltaic (TPV) diodes grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) is demonstrated using triple-axis X-ray reciprocal space mapping techniques.
