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 ...
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 ...
Below Ts = 350 °C, a flat surface was formed, which might be considered Frank–Van der Merwe's (FM) mode growth. Above Ts = 400 °C, the surface roughness (Ra) increased and reached Ra of 3.9 nm at Ts = 600 °C. We call this as a 'one-step heating process'. The high SL...
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...
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....
