Abstract

By locking the sampling frequency of reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) data acquisition and substrate rotation to the same timebase, several new measurement modes become possible that dramatically enhance the capabilities of RHEED with rotating substrates. Gated detection allows the display of quasi-static RHEED patterns during continuous rotation, azimuthal scans produce two-dimensional cuts through reciprocal space similar to low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), and measurements of the FWHM of the specular spot perpendicular to the substrate surface allow growth rate calibrations with unprecedented accuracy.
