Abstract

GaAs layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) at low substrate temperatures (LT GaAs) were studied in a novel purpose designed X-ray experiment. It combines X-ray double crystal rocking curve measurements with some elements usually found in optical setups like light illumination at liquid nitrogen temperatures applied to transfer EL2 type defects into metastable state. Ability to record such transfers with the X-ray experiment as well as large lattice relaxation accompanying this process is presented.
