Abstract

The integrated X-ray diffraction intensities of quasi-forbidden reflections in gallium arsenide, such as the 002, are particularly sensitive to stoichiometry variations. We show here that the integrated intensity as a function of wavelength exhibits a minimum whose position is dependent on the stoichiometry. Using synchrotron radiation to tune the wavelength, we have performed measurements on a horizontal Bridgman grown crystal. A shift in the minimum is observed between measurements made from different parts of the sample consistent with arsenic loss at the surface of the crystal.
