摘要：

Bragg line splitting near the shadow image of a thin strained InGaAs layer, buried in GaAs and without strain relief by misfit dislocations, was found in large angle convergent beam electron diffraction (LACBED) patterns of cross-section specimens. The surface relaxation of the built-in strain and the Bragg line intensities were calculated. A qualitative agreement between the experimental Bragg line splitting and the theoretical calculations is demonstrated. Closer matching was achieved using a ''line-force'' model of the surface relaxation, whereas a Fourier transform solution showed significant underestimation of the Bragg line splitting. The possibility of characterising the built-in strain in thin strained layers, by measuring this Bragg line splitting in LACBED patterns, has been explored.
