Features of the diagnostics of metamorphic InAlAs/InGaAs/InAlAs nanoheterostructures by high-resolution X-ray diffraction in the $\omega$-scanning mode

This study is devoted to the search for new possibilities of characterizing crystal-structure features using high-resolution X-ray diffraction. The emphasis is on the scanning mode across the diffraction vector ($\omega$-scanning), since researchers usually pay little attention to this mode, and its capabilities have not yet been completely revealed. For the [011] and [01$\bar1$] directions, the $\omega$-peak half-width and the average tilt angle of the sample surface profile are compared. The diagnostic capabilities of X-ray scattering mapping are also studied. The objects of study are semiconductor nanoheterostructures with an InAlAs/InGaAs/InAlAs quantum well and an In$_{x}$Al$_{1-x}$As metamorphic buffer grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on InP and GaAs substrates. Such nanoheterostructures are used to fabricate microwave transistors and monolithic integrated circuits. The objects under study are more completely characterized using the Hall effect, atomic-force microscopy, and low-temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy at 79 K.
