ABSTRACTFor nitride based devices such as LEDs, high power FETs and laser diodes, single crystal substrates of AlN are highly desirable. While the sublimation technique is suitable for growing bulk AlN crystals, appropriate seeds are also necessary for growing large diameter oriented boules. 4H- and 6H-SiC substrates which are readily available commercially can potentially be implemented as seeds for bulk AlN growth. However, issues regarding SiC decomposition at high temperatures, thermal expansion mismatch, single crystal growth, etc. need to be addressed. Towards this end, a series of growth experiments have been carried out in a resistively heated reactor using on and off-axis 4H- and 6H-SiC substrates as seeds for AlN growth from the vapor phase. Several hundred microns thick AlN layers have been grown under different growth conditions. Synchrotron white beam x-ray topography (SWBXT) has been used to map the defect distribution in the grown layers and high resolution triple axis x-ray diffraction (HRTXD) experiments were carried out to record reciprocal space maps from which tilt, mismatch and strain data can be obtained. These results are analyzed with respect to the growth conditions in order to gain a better understanding of this growth process.

A simple hybrid design has been developed to produce practically scatterless aperture slits for small-angle X-ray scattering and high-resolution X-ray diffraction. The hybrid slit consists of a rectangular single-crystal substrate (e.g.Si or Ge) bonded to a high-density metal base with a large taper angle (> 10°). The beam-defining single-crystal tip is oriented far from any Bragg peak position with respect to the incident beam and hence produces none of the slit scattering commonly associated with conventional metal slits. It has been demonstrated that the incorporation of the scatterless slits leads to a much simplified design in small-angle X-ray scattering instruments employing only one or two apertures, with dramatically increased intensity (a threefold increase observed in the test setup) and improved low-angle resolution.

A single crystal of Nd5Mo3O16with lead partly substituting for neodymium, which has a fluorite-like structure, was studied by precision X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission microscopy and EDX microanalysis. The crystal structure is determined in the space group Pn\bar 3n. It was found that the Pb atoms substitute in part for Nd atoms in the structure and are located in the vicinity of Nd2 positions. Partial substitutions of Mo cations for Nd positions and of Nd for Mo positions in crystals of theLn5Mo3O16oxide family are corroborated by X-ray diffraction for the first time. The first experimental verification of the location of an additional oxygen ion in the voids abutting MoO4tetrahedra was obtained.
