Abstract

Antiphase boundaries in GaP crystals epitactically grown on Si (001) have been characterized using transmission electron microscopy. Convergent-beam electron diffraction was used to identify the antiphase-related grains. The antiphase boundaries were observed to adopt facets parallel to specific crystallographic orientations. Furthermore, stacking-fault-like contrast was observed along the interface suggesting that the domains may be offset from one another by a rigid-body lattice translation.
