Abstract

Σ=3 (11̄ 5̄)A/(11̄ 1̄)B, Σ=19 (22̄ 7̄)A/(41̄5)B, and low-angle tilt grain boundaries in GaAs thin films were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Models for the atomic structure of the boundaries are proposed in this study. The structural unit for the boundaries consists of 5-and 7-member rings. The polarity of the grain on either side of the boundaries was confirmed by the convergent beam electron diffraction method. {110} low-angle tilt grain boundaries were observed to consist of a/2<110> edge dislocations. Anti-site type bonds are present at the core of the dislocations.
