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 ...
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...
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....
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 ...
