ABSTRACTPost-growth surface dynamics of epitaxial GaAs (100) thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) have been studied using dynamic reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) in an effort to better understand the growth mechanisms present in pulsed laser deposition. Results have indicated, as expected, that processes occurring at reduced substrate temperatures manifest themselves more slowly than at elevated temperatures. This has been shown through the analysis of static RHEED images and dynamic specular beam intensity as well as profile scans.

Glass-oxide interfaces play important roles in developing the properties of liquid-phase sintered ceramics and glass-ceramic materials. Deposition of glasses in thin-film form on oxide substrates is a potential way to determine the properties of such interfaces directly. Pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) has been successful in growing stoichiometric thin films of multicomponent oxides. Since traditional glasses are multicomponent oxides, there is the potential for PLD to provide a unique method for growing amorphous coatings on ceramics with precise control of the glass composition. Deposition of an anorthite-based (CaAl2Si2O8) glass on single-crystal α-Al2O3 was chosen as a model system to explore the feasibility of PLD for growing glass layers, since anorthite-based glass films are commonly found in the grain boundaries and triple junctions of liquid-phase sintered α-Al2O3 ceramics.Single-crystal (0001) α-Al2O3 substrates in pre-thinned form were used for film depositions. Prethinned substrates were prepared by polishing the side intended for deposition, then dimpling and polishing the opposite side, and finally ion-milling to perforation.
