Abstract

Si quantum wells on plastically relaxed SiGe substrates have nanometer variations in crystallographic parameters crucial to quantum-information devices. Synchrotron X-ray nanodiffraction shows that the lattice of the Si quantum well varies in orientation and thickness over lateral distances of 100 nm to 1 μm. The result is that the energy levels of the confined states are shifted by energies similar to the electron temperature.
