In this paper, the details of the interface region of a molecular beam epitaxially grown Al single crystal on a single-crystal substrate were studied using X-ray diffraction and total external reflection.
Abstract
A new technique utilizing conventional x‐ray diffraction in conjunction with total external reflection has provided a powerful tool for studying ordered interfaces and surface phenomena. It has been used in this work to study the details of the interface region of a molecular beam epitaxially grown Al single crystal on a molecular beam epitaxially grown GaAs single‐crystal substrate. A simple model including variations of the lattice parameter and disorder in the interface region is in agreement with these experimental results.

Influence of oxygen diffusion on residual stress for tantalum thin films

TL;DR: The influence of oxygen diffusion on the residual stress of 500A tantalum thin films sputtered on Si substrate after annealing temperature from 200to400°C is examined in this article.

Influence of surface roughness on near‐surface depth analysis from X‐ray reflectivity measurements

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of a decrease in the intensity of refracted X-rays due to diffuse scattering at a rough surface and interface is considered and the authors present a new analysis of the X-ray reflectivity from a multilayer surface taking into account roughness induced diffuse scattering.

Texture development and residual stress in UHV evaporated silver films on glass substrates as a function of substrate temperature

TL;DR: In this article, the components of the stress tensor were obtained using measurements at three different φ angles of 0°, 45° and 90°, and showed, an increase with substrate temperature in agreement with the SZM predictions, and a decrease with ψ angle, possibly due to some correlation between the preferred orientation and grain size.

The Growth of Ni Overlayers on Au(100) Buffers Deposited on GaAs(100) and MgO(100) Substrates.

TL;DR: Using RHEED, LEED and Auger spectroscopy the growth of Ni overlayers at room temperature was observed to follow an epitaxial layer-by-layer mode for two monolayers, after which islanding occured as discussed by the authors.

CXVII. The total reflexion of X-rays

TL;DR: In this article, the total reflexion of X-rays was studied and it was shown that X-ray can be interpreted as a measure of the amount of radiation absorbed by the human body.
