Popis: Thin uncoalesced gallium nitride (GaN) layers grown on Si(111) by maskless cantilever epitaxy (CE) have been investigated using high resolution x-ray diffraction at variable temperatures. The crystallographic tilt of the free-hanging wings relative to the stripe regions of the samples was determined for different temperatures. With increased temperature the wing tilt decreased non-linearly and seemed to approach a constant value at higher temperatures. The wing tilts of two samples differing at room temperature by one order of magnitude were found to vary by less than 20% between 300 and 1020 K. This suggests that the main part of the crystallographic wing tilt is not thermally induced for samples grown with the CE technique.
