abstract = {Imaging techniques are of paramount importance for our
understanding of the universe. From galaxies and stars
explored by huge telescopes down to micro and nanostructures
studied by microscopes, imaging systems provide invaluable
scientific information. When an object under investigation
has a size of about 100 nanometers, x-rays become a perfect
probe for non-destructive imaging. The manufacturing process
of image forming lenses for x-rays becomes much more
complicated comparing to optical ones. Therefore,
”lensless” techniques which rely on the coherent
properties of radiation were developed. With third
generation of synchrotron sources highly coherent and
intense x-ray beams became widely accessible. They are used
in new imaging methods such as coherent x-ray diffractive
imaging (CXDI) and x-ray ptychography. Modern nanotechnology
opens a wide spectrum of possible applications in different
branches of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering. At
the nanoscale, matter has different physical and chemical
properties compared to the macroscale bulk material.
Thecontinuing trend of miniaturization of functional
components in semiconductor industry brings new challenges
both in growth and characterization methods. This Thesis is
focusedon application of coherent diffractive imaging
methods to reveal the structure of single semiconductor
nanowires (NWs). They have been attracting significant
attention for a couple of decades due to their efficient
strain relaxation properties. And since the strain plays a
significant role in NW performance the projects carried out
in this work are oriented on Bragg CXDI approaches. Three
distinct projects were carried out during my research
activity at DESY research center of the Helmholtz
Association. Experimental work was performed at P06 and P10
beamlines at PETRA III synchrotron. The first part of this
Thesis extends the application of the three-dimensional (3D)
Bragg CXDI to strain field mapping in a single InP NW with a
diameter of 100 nm. The measurement employed a nanofocused
beam, which is characterized by transmission x-ray
ptychography. It is shown that the separation of the object
and probe functions is possible in the direct space after a
3D reconstruction. The influence of a catalyst particle at
the tip of the NW on the strain distribution in InP part of
the NW is revealed. The second part of the manuscript is
dedicated to the development and application of
two-dimensional x-ray Bragg ptychography (2D XBP) to studies
of single NWs. This approach providesa larger field of view
on the sample and the reliability of reconstruction results
improves, due to the advantages of ptychography. The
limitations of the technique are discussed bytheoretical
analysis and finite element method modeling (FEM).
Successful experimental implementation is demonstrated on a
single InGaN/GaN core-shell NW. The third part isdevoted to
3D Bragg CXDI of strain evolution in a single GaNNWwith
respect to applied voltage bias. A complicated tilting and
defect formation process in the NW was revealedfrom the
evolution of the Bragg peak. This study gives an insight
into piezoelectrical properties of the sample, which
dramatically influence electron-hole pair recombinationand
may decrease the efficiency of optoelectronic devices based
on GaN NWs.},
