The article presents an experimental study of an issue of whether the formation of arrays of Ge quantum dots on the Si(001) surface is an equilibrium process or it is kinetically controlled. We deposited Ge on Si(001) at the room…
Difference in nucleation of Ge quantum dots during Ge deposition at low (< 600C) and high (> 600C) temperatures on the Si(001) surface is studied by high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy. Two process resulting in appearance of…
The phase immiscibility and the excellent matching between Ag(001) and Fe(001) unit cells (mismatch 0.8 %) make Fe/Ag growth attractive in the field of low dimensionality magnetic systems. Intermixing could be drastically limited at…
The results of studies of melting and crystallization processes in Bi-Ge layered film system are presented. These systems were prepared by subsequent condensation of components in vacuum. It has been shown that the melting temperature in…
A study is presented of the structural changes occurring as a function of the annealing conditions in hydrogenated amorphous Si/Ge multilayers prepared by sputtering. Annealing changes the structure of the as-deposited multilayer except for…
The results of STM and RHEED studies of a thin Ge film grown on the Si/Si(001) epitaxial layers with different surface relief are presented. Process of the partial stress relaxation was accompanied by changes in the surface structure of the…
We report a direct STM observation of Ge hut array nucleation on the Si(001) surface during ultrahigh vacuum molecular-beam epitaxy at 360C. Nuclei of pyramids and wedges have been observed on the wetting layer MxN patches starting from the…
