Manipulation of growth modes in heteroepitaxy: Ni/Cu(111)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Growth manipulation methods, which have been successfully used to improve the growth of homoepitaxial films, are applied to molecular beam epitaxy of the heteroepitaxial system Ni/Cu~111!. The procedures applied are temperature reduction during nucleation and pulsed ion bombardment during deposition. While the first does not lead to smoother films, the ion beam assisted growth is successful in reducing the film roughness. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~96!03949-6#

From Initial to Late Stages of Epitaxial Thin Film Growth: STM Analysis and Atomistic or CoarseGrained Modeling
Epitaxial thin film growth by vapor deposition or molecular beam epitaxy under ultra‐high vacuum conditions generally occurs in two stages: (i) nucleation and growth of well‐separated islands on the substrate; (ii) subsequent formation of a thicker continuous film with possible kinetic roughening. For homoepitaxial growth, two‐dimensional (2D) monolayer islands are formed during submonolayer de...
متن کاملImportance of interfacial step alignment in hetero-epitaxy and orientation relationships: the case of Ag equilibrated on Ni substrates. Part 2 experiments
The orientation relationships (ORs) that develop when Ag films are equilibrated on more than 200 different Ni substrate orientations distributed over the standard stereographic triangle have been determined by electron backscatter diffraction. Four different types of OR have been observed, including cube-on-cube, twin-related, oct-cube (that develops only on Ni(100)), as well as a family of mor...
متن کاملWhat are the active carbon species during graphene chemical vapor deposition growth?
The dissociation of carbon feedstock is a crucial step for understanding the mechanism of graphene chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth. Using first-principles calculations, we performed a comprehensive theoretical study for the population of various active carbon species, including carbon monomers and various radicals, CHi (i = 1, 2, 3, 4), on four representative transition-metal surfaces, C...
متن کاملNi-Cu ion exchange observed for Ni(II)-porphyrins on Cu(111).
A Ni-Cu ion exchange has been observed for (5,15-dibromo-10,20-diphenylporphyrinato)nickel(II) (NiDBrDPP) and (5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-bromophenyl)porphyrinato)nickel(II) (NiTBrPP) on Cu(111). The ion exchange proceeds at a faster rate for the NiDBrDPP/Cu(111) system compared to NiTBrPP/Cu(111). This is explained in terms of the macrocycle-substrate distance and the distortions that occur when th...
متن کاملFirst-principles study of methane dehydrogenation on a bimetallic Cu/Ni(111) surface.
We present density-functional theory calculations of the dehydrogenation of methane and CH(x) (x=1-3) on a Cu/Ni(111) surface, where Cu atoms are substituted on the Ni surface at a coverage of 14 monolayer. As compared to the results on other metal surfaces, including Ni(111), a similar activation mechanism with different energetics is found for the successive dehydrogenation of CH(4) on the Cu...
