Abstract
The growth modes of Nd deposited on Mo(110) surface have been studied using RHEED and AFM. At 1ML deposition at room temperature, the c(5×3) surface structure appeared which forms the CSL lattice for the Mo surface. At the deposition thickness more than 2ML, the crystallites with Nd(0001) plan* appeared on the c(5×3) structure. The growth modes are the Frank-van der Merwe type at room temperature and the Stranski-Krastanov type at temperatures higher than 500℃.
