A method for growing low-dislocation-density material atop a layer of the
material with an initially higher dislocation density using a monolayer
of spheroidal particles to bend and redirect or directly block vertically
propagating threading dislocations, thereby enabling growth and
coalescence to form a very-low-dislocation-density surface of the
material, and the structures made by this method.
