Underlined by these examples, it is shown that the precise control of an epitaxially coherent, or two-dimensional layer-by-layer growth, named after Jan van der Merwe, is a prerequisite to achieve the desired functionality of oxide-oxide and oxide-nitride superlattices....
Static calculation and preliminary kinetic Monte Carlo simulation studies are\nundertaken for the nucleation and growth on a model system which follows a\nFrank-van der Merwe mechanism. In the present case, we consider the deposition\nof Ag on Au(100) and Au(111) surfaces. The interactions ...
Heteroepitaxial growth of 2% lattice-mismatched EuTe on PbTe(111) by molecular beam epitaxy is investigated in the two-dimensional layer-by-layer growth regime (Frank van der Merwe growth mode) combining scanning tunnelling microscopy and in-situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction. The ...
On the Si(111)-(7 x 7) surface Ph grows in the Stranski-Krastanov mode, on the Si(111)-(root3 x root3)R30 degrees -Au and on the Si(111)-(6 x 6)-Au surface in the quasi-Frank-van der Merwe (layer-by-layer) mode. On the Si(111)-(root3 x root3)R30 degrees -Ag ...

Three epitaxial growth modes are distinguished: Frank–van der Merwe, Volmer–Weber, and Stranski–Krastanow, that allow one to obtain multi-layered structures with 2D materials, quantum wells and quantum dots. In this work generalized kinetic model of epitaxial growth of nanostructures by all ...
