Popis: The effect of basal-plane stacking faults on the Bragg peak broadening in m-plane GaN is studied using X-ray diffraction ω-scans and ω/2θ-scans. The analysis considers the coexistence of multiple broadening contributions including tilt, twist, limited coherence length, and micro-strain. Although the effects of basal-plane stacking faults are detectable in the different configurations used in this study, we show that the ω-scans in the asymmetric geometry are better suited for quantifying basal-plane stacking fault-related broadening, since the broadening due to twist does not affect the ω-scan profiles in such diffraction geometries (© 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
