Popis: White beam synchrotron radiation X-ray topography (SR-XRT) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were used to non-destructively study the defect structure of a bulk GaN wafer, grown by the ammonothermal method. SR-XRT topographs revealed high crystal quality with threading dislocation density 8.8×10 4 cm −2 and granular structure consisting of large, slightly misaligned grains. The threading dislocations within grains were identified as mixed and screw type, while no pure threading edge dislocations were observed.
