AbstractWe use a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) capable of imaging the growing layer at high temperature during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to study the epitaxial growth of Germanium on Silicon and the decay of Ge islands. The periodicity of the (2×N) reconstruction of two-dimensional Ge layers on Si(001) is measured as function of the Ge coverage. Strain energy drives the formation of the (2×N) reconstruction and Si/Ge intermixing. A comparison to total energy calculations predicting the periodicity of the (2×N) reconstruction is used to estimate the amount of Si-Ge intermixing near the surface. The evolution of the size and shape of individual “hut clusters” is measured and explained by kinetically self-limiting growth. The relaxation of kinetically a determined morphology towards equilibrium is followed for a Ge layer on Si(111). Strained two-dimensional as well as partially relaxed three-dimensional islands dissolve and are soaked up by larger three-dimensional islands which are dislocated and therefore fully relaxed.

ABSTRACTMolecular beam epitaxy of ultra thin films of Bi2Sr2CuO8-(2201 phase) is realized on the surface of SrTiO3 (100) and LaAlO3 (100) at the substrate temperature of 573 K, using 10-5Pa of NO2 as an oxidant. The film epitaxially grown from the surface of the substrate has identical in-plane lattice constant to the substrate itself. Such a growth can only be obtained on the substrate with similar lattice constant to those of the material to be formed. The crystallinity of the film strongly depended on the sequence of the metal depositions and the oxidation process. In the case of the Bi system, the elementary unit of the epitaxial growth has proved to be the subunit of the perovskite structure (Sr-Cu-Sr). The structure of the film grown on a substrate with large mismatch (MgO) is also discussed.

AbstractThe growth of Mo overtayers and Mo-Ni multilayers on single crystal Ni(001) substrates is described. The nucleation and growth processes of these thin films were analyzed by LEED, XPS, AES and SEM and High Resolution AES investigations without breaking vacuum. Growth of Mo-Ni multilayer heterostructures on Ni(001) with ≈20Å periodicity is possible at low temperature (≈200 °C). At high temperature (≈550 °C) the growth proceeds by the Volmer-Weber mechanism preventing the deposition of small period multilayers. Annealing experiments on ultra-thin (<20Å) Mo overiayers deposited at 200 °C show an onset of interdiffusion at ≈ 550°C coupled to the generation of a new surface periodicity.
