摘要
Superscrew dislocations in SiC have been investigated using synchrotron topography in order to probe the details of the direct dislocation image at a magnified level. In view of the fact that the conventional extinction contrast theory cannot fully explain the contrast features of superscrew dislocations, a simplified orientation contrast model is developed. This model enables more accurate simulations of the observed dislocation images, and the results obtained from this model indicate that, in the low absorption case, the direct dislocation image comprises a significant orientation contrast contribution arising from the overlap and separation of the inhomogeneously diffracted x-rays with continuously varying directions. A new insight into the general contrast formation mechanisms of direct dislocation images on x-ray topographs is thus presented.
