abstract = {We conducted a comprehensive investigation of dislocations
in Al0.46Ga0.54N. Using aberration-corrected scanning
transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray
spectroscopy, the atomic structure and atom distribution at
the dislocation core have been examined. We report that the
core configuration of dislocations in AlGaN is consistent
with that of other materials in the III-Nitride system.
However, we observed that the dissociation of mixed-type
dislocations is impeded by alloying GaN with AlN, which is
confirmed by our experimental observation of Ga and Al atom
segregation in the tensile and compressive parts of the
dislocations, respectively. Investigation of the optical
properties of the dislocations shows that the atom
segregation at dislocations has no significant effect on the
intensity recorded by cathodoluminescence in the vicinity of
the dislocations. These results are in contrast with the
case of dislocations in In0.09Ga0.91N where segregation of
In and Ga atoms also occurs but results in carrier
localization limiting non-radiative recombination at the
dislocation. This study therefore sheds light on why
InGaN-based devices are generally more resilient to
dislocations than their AlGaN-based counterparts.},
