Coalescence-controlled and coalescence-free growth regimes during deposition of pulsed metal vapor fluxes on insulating surfaces

Journal Article Lü, B. ; Münger, E. P. ; Sarakinos, K. - Journal of Applied Physics

The morphology and physical properties of thin films deposited by vapor condensation on solid surfaces are predominantly set by the processes of island nucleation, growth, and coalescence. When deposition is performed using pulsed vapor fluxes, three distinct nucleation regimes are known to exist depending on the temporal profile of the flux. These regimes can be accessed by tuning deposition conditions; however, their effect on film microstructure becomes marginal when coalescence sets in and erases morphological features obtained during nucleation. By preventing coalescence from being completed, these nucleation regimes can be used to control microstructure evolution and thus access a largermore »« less

Dynamic competition between island growth and coalescence in metal-on-insulator deposition

Journal Article Lü, B. ; Elofsson, V. ; Münger, E. P. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The morphology of thin metal films and nanostructures synthesized from the vapor phase on insulating substrates is strongly influenced by the coalescence of islands. Here, we derive analytically the quantitative criterion for coalescence suppression by combining atomistic nucleation theory and a classical model of coalescence. Growth simulations show that using this criterion, a coalescence-free growth regime can be reached in which morphological evolution is solely determined by island nucleation, growth, and impingement. Experimental validation for the ability to control the rate of coalescence using this criterion and navigate between different growth regimes is provided by in situ monitoring of Agmore »« less

Diffusional coalescence of island films on the real crystal surface in the case of layer-by-layer growth of islands. II. An open system. Undamped sources of deposited atoms

Journal Article Kukushkin, S A ; Sakalo, T V - Acta Metallurgica et Materialia; (United States)

Coalescence of island films on the real crystal surface in the presence of the sources of deposited atoms is studied in case of layer-by-layer growth of islands. Asymptotic distribution functions and critical radii time dependences with different modes of mass-transport are obtained and analyzed. Restrictions in the sources intensity are given.

Dynamic Scaling and Island Growth Kinetics in Pulsed Laser Deposition of ${SrTiO}_{3}$

Journal Article Eres, Gyula ; Tischler, J. Z. ; Rouleau, C. M. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We use real-time diffuse surface x-ray diffraction to probe the evolution of island size distributions and its effects on surface smoothing in pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of SrTiO₃. In this study, we show that the island size evolution obeys dynamic scaling and two distinct regimes of island growth kinetics. Our data show that PLD film growth can persist without roughening despite thermally driven Ostwald ripening, the main mechanism for surface smoothing, being shut down. The absence of roughening is concomitant with decreasing island density, contradicting the prevailing view that increasing island density is the key to surface smoothing in PLD.more »« less
