Abstract

In this paper, X-ray diffraction, selective area electron diffraction, and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to study the twins at different positions and textures in different direction in CVDZnS. It was found that the CVDZnS twin showed streaks under TEM. The narrower the streaks, the higher the content of twins, and the content of twins in CVDZnS normal layer was higher than that in bright layer. There are textures in CVDZnS, and the main texture of P surface (perpendicular to the direction of growth) is different from S surface (parallel to the growth direction of surface). The main texture in P is {010} 〈001〉, and the S is {101} 〈\(\overline{1} \overline{3}\)1〉.
