چکیده

We report on the Ag M4,5N4,5N4,5 Auger lineshape variation which occurs during the epitaxial growth of Ag onto GaAs { 001 } layers grown in situ by MBE (molecular beam epitaxy). This variation depends strongly on the mode of growth of the metallic layer. We suggest that it is due to a solid-state effect which acts progressively in the case of a layer-by-layer (2 D) growth and more rapidly when the growth involves the formation of 3 D clusters. J. Physique 43 (1982) 939-944 JUIN 1982,

Epitaxial growth of GaAs by solid-phase transport

( 100) GaAs substrates with an Ag film about 45 nm thick were first annealed at 550 “C for 30 min in an Ar-flowing furnace (preannealing) . A 1 lo-nm-thick GaAs layer was then deposited on top of the preannealed (GaAs)/Ag samples, followed by an amorphous Ta-Si-N film that was deposited over the GaAs layer to serve as a cap layer to minimize the loss of As during the following annealing process...

Epitaxial Ag(001) grown on MgO(001) and TiN(001): Twinning, surface morphology, and electron surface scattering

Epitaxial Ag(001) layers were deposited on MgO(001) in order to study electron surface scattering. X-ray reflection indicates 3D layer nucleation with a high rms surface roughness of 1.0 nm for a layer thickness d1⁄4 3.5 nm. X-ray diffraction shows that f111g twins form at d< 11 nm, followed by 2nd generation twinning for 11 nm< d< 120 nm. Increasing the growth temperature from 25 to 150 C supp...

Layer-resolved study of Mg atom incorporation at the MgO/Ag(001) buried interface.

By combining x-ray excited Auger electron diffraction experiments and multiple scattering calculations we reveal a layer-resolved shift for the Mg KL23L23 Auger transition in MgO ultrathin films (4-6 Å) on Ag(001). This resolution is exploited to demonstrate the possibility of controlling Mg atom incorporation at the MgO/Ag(001) interface by exposing the MgO films to a Mg flux. A substantial re...

Fully epitaxial C1b-type NiMnSb half-Heusler alloy films for current-perpendicular-to-plane giant magnetoresistance devices with a Ag spacer

Remarkable magnetic and spin-dependent transport properties arise from well-designed spintronic materials and heterostructures. Half-metallic Heusler alloys with high spin polarization exhibit properties that are particularly advantageous for the development of high-performance spintronic devices. Here, we report fully (001)-epitaxial growth of a high-quality half-metallic NiMnSb half-Heusler a...

Ag buffer layer effect on magnetization reversal of epitaxial Co films

Nano-sized Ag(111) islands were first prepared by using molecular beam epitaxy technique on dilutedhydrofluoric acid etched Si(111) substrate. Epitaxial Co films were then grown onto the Ag films at 100 °C to decrease interdiffusion. The Ag buffer layer designed to form isolated islands with {111} sidewalls on the Si(111) substrate, and provided Co films (111) texture growth to study the correl...
