The dependence of the grain size of continuous epitaxial films on the growth conditions

A systematic investigation on the dependence of the grain size of continuous (after coalescence) PbTe films on the growth conditions is carried out. The films were deposited epitaxially on BaF 2 substrates. The practical applications of such a study are pointed out. Also we point out that this type...

Summary:A systematic investigation on the dependence of the grain size of continuous (after coalescence) PbTe films on the growth conditions is carried out. The films were deposited epitaxially on BaF 2 substrates. The practical applications of such a study are pointed out. Also we point out that this type of investigation of continuous films can contribute a body of experimental data that can be used to test theories on epitaxial nucleation and growth.
