Single crystal metal films on insulating substrates are attractive for microelectronics and other applications, but they are difficult to achieve on macroscopic length scales. The conventional approach to obtaining such films is epitaxial…

We report the molecular beam epitaxy of Bi_1-xSb_x thin films ($0 \leq x \leq 1$) on (0001) sapphire substrates using a thin (Bi,Sb)$_2$Te$_3$ buffer layer. Characterization of the films using reflection high energy diffraction, x-ray…

BaBiO3 has lately gained high research attention as a parent material for an interesting family of alloyed compositions with multiple technological applications. In order to grow a variety of structures, a versatile deposition tool such as…

By employing a mixed SnO$_2$+Sn source, we demonstrate suboxide molecular beam epitaxy growth of phase-pure single crystalline metastable SnO(001) thin films at a growth rate of ~1.0nm/min without the need for additional oxygen. These films…

We studied and optimized the molecular beam epitaxy of GaSb layers on vicinal (001) Si substrates using a GaAs nucleation layer. An in-depth analysis of the different growth stages under optimized conditions revealed the formation of a high…

In epitaxially strained ferroelectric thin films and superlattices, the ferroelectric transition temperature can lie above the growth temperature. Ferroelectric polarization and domains should then evolve during the growth of a sample, and…

Si deposition on H terminated Si(100)-2x1 and 3x1 surfaces at temperatures 300-530 K is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. Hydrogen apparently hinders Si adatom diffusion and enhances surface roughening. The post-growth annealing…
