Abstract

The effect of partial coherency on electron diffraction patterns of Cd1−xMnxTe – Cd1−yMny Te superlattices has been investigated. Observed diffraction patterns are compared with intensity calculations performed using dynamical diffraction theory with a model of an extended incoherent monochromatic source. From this study, a new method of electron diffraction for characterization of multilayer structures can be developed. Under the condition that the lateral coherent distance of the incident beam covers two adjacent layers, diffraction beams arising from the two layers give rise to an interference fringe in a diffraction spot. With this type of diffraction pattern, one can determine the refractive index of a crystal in the multilayer structure.
