AbstractMetastable solid-solutions in the MgO-CaO system grow readily on MgO at 300°C by molecular beam epitaxy. We observe RHEED oscillations indicating a layer-by-layer growth mode; in-plane orientation can be described by the Matthews theory of island rotations. Although some films start to unmix at 500°C, others have been observed to be stable up to 900°C. The Mgl-xCaxO solid solutions grow despite a larger miscibility gap in this system than in any system for which epitaxial solid solutions have been grown. We describe attempts to use these materials as adjustable-lattice constant epitaxial building blocks

ABSTRACTWe have used transmission electron microscopy to study the structure of Pb1-xEuxTe alloys grown by molecular beam epitaxy. We have observed ordered solid solutions of the Pb1-x EuxTe alloys as well as spinodal decomposition for 0.35≤x<0.75. The spinodal decomposition corresponds to a modulation of both the composition and the lattice spacing of the Pb1-x EuxTe alloy. These modulated structures have periodicities of ∼18Å along the <111> and <110> directions and indicate that the solid solution of Pb1-x Eux Te is unstable in this range of compositions.
