Determination of compositions in multiple quantum well structures is a critical issue. Until now only few experimental description of determination of concentrations in the nonpolar m‐ or a‐direction in III‐nitrides by means of X‐ray diffraction has been published. Using the example of GaInN/GaN multiple quantum well structures we present different methods to determine the indium concentration. After presenting the relevant elasticity relations we adopt a step model introduced by Segmüller and Blakeslee to nonpolar directions. This model allows a simulation of symmetrical $2{\theta} {-} {\omega} $ scans. We will discuss the possibilities and also the limitations of this model. Additionally, we present a method to determine concentrations by using the peak position of the zero order superlattice peak. Finally, we compare the methods using samples grown on m‐plane SiC and bulk m‐plane GaN.
