摘要
The initial stage of relaxation of mechanical stresses in the Ge0.32Si0.68/Si(001) heterostructure grown by low-temperature (300degreesC) molecular-beam epitaxy is studied by means of transmission electron microscopy. Dislocation half-loops propagating from the film surface and generating misfit dislocations during expansion are visualized. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
