Growth of Al thin film deposited on Mo(110) Surface

Abstract

Surface structures and growth modes of Al deposited on Mo(110) surface have been investigated using high energy electron diffraction(RHEED).After the deposition of Al at room temperature, the specimen was heated at constant temperatures. Basically, Al deposited on the Mo(110) surface at room temperature grows by pseudo Frank-van der Merwe growth mode taking an epitaxial orientation of the Kurdjumov-Sachs relation. From the variation of RHEED Pattern it may be considered that in high temperature condensation AI grows by the Stranski-Krastanov growth mode.
