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....
The harmonic interactions assumed in the Frank-van der Merwe model are replaced by Toda and Morse potentials in order to study the effect of anharmonicity on the equilibrium properties of thin epitaxial films. The extended model predicts the following. 1. (i) The misfit stability limits for pseu...
Frank–van der Merwe, Volmer–Weber, and Stranski–Krastanow mechanisms are considered. • Conditions for nucleation of 3D islands in epitaxial systems are determined. • Ways to control 2D, 0D structures properties inmolecular beam epitaxyare proposed. ...

Different growth mechanisms of van der Waals heteroepitaxial 2D Bi2Te3/Sb2Te3 stacking by choosing different substrates are reported. Sequential Bi2Te3/Sb2Te3 stacking growth mode becomes layer-by-layer growth on h-BN substrates, and 3D island growth on SiO2/Si. Compressive strain in the h-BN...

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 ...
