Kinetic limitations in electronic growth of Ag films on Fe(100).
Quantum well (QW) resonances are identified in Ag films on an Fe(100) surface and are used in low energy electron microscopy to monitor film morphology during annealing and growth. We find that Ag films thermally decompose to thicknesses that are stabilized by QW states at the Gamma point. Novel growth morphologies are also observed that highlight the competition between kinetic limitations and...
متن کاملGrowth kinetic study of Sputter Deposition : Ag on Si / SiO
We have presented the kinetic study of the very initial growth stages of an ultra thin film (40Å-150Å) of Ag sputter-deposited on Si(001) substrate containing native oxide using grazing incidence x-ray reflectivity (GIXR) technique and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). We observe that the film consists of mounds with the presence of voids. The thickness 'd xray ' and the packing fraction 'η' of th...
متن کاملKinetic Roughening of Multilayer Ag/Ag(100) Films: Complex Temperature-Dependence in a Simple System
Metal(100) homoepitaxial systems constitute perhaps the simplest class of systems in which to study thin film growth. Yet, our Variable-Temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (VTSTM) analysis of Ag/Ag(100) homoepitaxy reveals that the variation of roughness with temperature is extraordinarily complex. As the deposition temperature is reduced from 300K to 50K, the roughness of 25 monolayer fi...
متن کاملGrowth of Au on Ag(110): electronic structure by photoemission
Au films, from the submonolayer range up to eight monolayers, have been deposited in situ at 300 K. The electronic structure has been probed by ultra-violet valence-band photoemission. The discussion of our findings is based on a detailed knowledge of the geometrical structure of each film. With increasing Au coverage the valenceband structure changes from Agto Au-bulk-like. At intermediate Au ...
متن کاملUmklapp-mediated quantization of electronic states in Ag films on Ge(111).
We employ angle-resolved photoemission to study the electronic structure of atomically uniform films of Ag grown on Ge(111). A new kind of quantum well state is observed near a specific emission direction away from the surface normal. In contrast with the usual quantum well state arising from electron confinement by specular reflections at the surface and interface of the film, the new kind inv...
