Reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) for in situ characterization of thin film growth
G. Koster, University of Twente, the Netherlands
Abstract:
In this chapter reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) is described in combination with pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Both the use of RHEED as a real-time rate-monitoring technique as well as methods to study the nucleation and growth during PLD are discussed. After a brief introduction of RHEED and demonstration of typical surface diffraction patterns, a case will be made for the step-density model to describe the intensity variations encountered during deposition. Finally, an overview of these intensity variations, the intensity response during a RHEED experiment ...
