Ultrathin films of MgO (5--300 A ) were grown epitaxially onto 150-A-thick Fe(001) seed layers on MgO(001) at 700 K using electron beam deposition. Reflection high-energy and low-energy electron diffraction and x-ray photoelectron diffraction show that the films have good crystalline quality that improves with thickness.
