Abstract
The structural state of Ge x Si1 − x films on miscut Si(1 1 13) substrates is studied by X-ray diffraction. Triclinic distortions that arise in the Ge x Si1 − x film are analyzed. The coincidence of the tilt axis and the miscut axis is established. Different misfit-dislocation networks that generate tilt boundaries are considered.
