Abstract

X-ray diffraction topographs were obtained from large arsenic single crystals. The camera employed copper Kα, radiation from a microfocus tube and an oscillating assembly of Soller slits limited the beam divergence. Reflections of the type (11) and (20) (primitive rhombohedral cell) were used to characterise dislocation Burgers vectors. The technique has been applied to arsenic single crystals grown from the vapour and from the melt. The majority of dislocations were found to belong to Burgers vectors <10>. Comparison has been made between dislocation etch pit patterns on (111) surfaces and X-ray topographs.
