Constraints on the Growth of Metallic Superlattices.

摘要

It is shown why the epitaxial growth of high quality metallic superlattices generally requires a growth temperature /approximately/3T/sub m//8 and two components having similar melting temperatures T/sub m/. A general observation of RHEED oscillations from growing metal surfaces at temperatures /approximately/T/sub m//8 is also predicted. 16 refs., 2 figs. (ERA citation 13:046780)
