SIMULTANEOUS EPITAXY OF SILVER ONTO TWO DIFFERENTLY ORIENTED LIF CRYSTALS

Abstract

Pairs of thin silver crystals, 20,000 to 60,000 A thick, with different lattice orientations were grown by epitaxial condensation in a single evaporation. Pair orientations were all combinations of the (100), (111), (110) and (112) planes parallel to film surface. Strong preferential orientation was obtained and pair mass thickness differences of 1-2% or less were achieved by using substrate temperatures in the general range 430 to 470 C. The results indicate that condensation sticking coefficients for Ag on LiF are at most weak functions of temperature and orientation. (Author)
