Abstract: It is shown that dynamical theory can be applied to analyze reflection high energy diffraction (RHEED) data from epitaxially grown samples. First, the theoretical description of the dynamical approach employed is presented in detail. Then examples of experimental data successfully interpreted are given. It is demonstrated that RHEED azimuthal plots may be helpful in gaining detailed information on the arrangement of atoms at the surface when the growth of samples is terminated. Furthermore, it is shown that RHEED oscillations recorded for one-beam conditions (i.e. at off-symmetry azimuths or at very low glancing angles) may be very useful in investigating growing surfaces. Finally, we discuss how the theoretical approach used in this work is related to approaches employed by other researchers, and what kind of investigations may help to develop RHEED further.
