Abstract
We propose a common description of the full widths at half maximum of X‐ray diffraction peaks obtained in different scans of triple‐crystal diffractometry and as well as for glancing incidence and glancing exit double‐crystal measurements. Calculations are compared with measurements of GaAs/Si(001) heteroepitaxial films. We show that the diffraction peak broadening is entirely due to random 60° misfit dislocations that provide only a minor part of the misfit relaxation. The remaining relaxation is due to periodic edge misfit dislocations that do not contribute to the peak broadening. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract The X‐ray diffraction peak profiles due to misfit dislocations are studied for the dislocations correlated on distances much smaller than the film thickness. Simple analytical expressions for the correlation parameter are obtained when the dislocations are generated as a Markov chain. M

## Abstract We present here a detailed study describing the strain relaxation mechanisms occurring in the highly mismatched ZrO~2~/MgO system. Especially, we show using reciprocal space mapping that the ZrO~2~ islands epitaxially grown on the MgO substrate are fully relaxed implying the formation o
