Popis: Local characterizations of a quaternary group III nitride material AlInGaN were carried out using electron microscopy. The chemical composition and the lattice parameter of the sample were estimated by a combination of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy analyses and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy imaging, respectively. These results correspond well with the nominal composition of bulk sample measured by SIMS with only a few percent of error, indicating the validity of these techniques for the local characterization on this kind of hetero-structural materials.
