The width of double axis X-ray rocking curves of epitaxial GaN layers is shown to be critically dependent on the width of the detector aperture. The authors show that triple axis diffraction measurements using a crystal analyzer before the detector enables the instrument function to be defined and the tilt and dilation distributions separated. All GaN samples examined showed a mosaic blocks. In reciprocal space maps this was revealed as a wide distribution of intensity in a direction perpendicular to the reciprocal lattice vector.
