Untersuchungen zur Epitaxie dünner Goldaufdampfschichten auf Alkalihalogeniden im Ultrahochvakuum

Abstract

In the present paper the oriented growth of gold on alkalihalides, cleaved in ultra high vacuum has been investigated. The dependence of the crystal orientation on the deposition parameters substrate temperature, deposition rate, and the physical properties of the substrate were studied systematically. At suitable substrate temperatures and deposition rates it was possible to obtain epitaxial gold films on KCl, KBr and KJ.
