Capital Investment for RHEED TRAXS Capability to Benefit Current ONR-Funded Program

Abstract

The capital investment and the proof of operation of the RHEED-TRAX (Reflection High-Energy Electron Diffraction-Total Reflection Angle X-ray Spectroscopy) is complete with the conclusion of this equipment grant. The system has been custom engineered for the UHV environment and adaptive pieces engineered in order to enable real-time chemical analysis during film deposition by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The full potential of RHEED-TRAX as a real time quantitative stoichiometry control tool is being investigated as part on ongoing ONR research efforts in the integration of barium hexaferrite for monolithic tunable microwave devices, the Center of Microwave & Magnetic Materials and Integrated Circuits, and the ONR EMMA MURI. The work has been part of 3 presentations to regional and national audiences and is part of 2 submitted manuscripts.
