Detachment limited interlayer transport processes during SrTiO3 pulsed laser epitaxy
Jeffrey G. Ulbrandt, Xiaozhi Zhang, Randall L. Headrick
Pulsed laser epitaxial growth is characterized by high instantaneous deposition rates that leads to the nucleation of transient islands, both on surface terraces, and on top of sta…

Measurement of Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier contribution to the self-organized formation of ordered surface patterns on Ge(001)
Peco Myint, Denise Erb, Xiaozhi Zhang +6
Normal incidence 1 keV Ar ion bombardment leads to amorphization and ultrasmoothing of Ge at room temperature, but at elevated temperatures the Ge surface remains crystalline a…

Homoepitaxial growth of SrTiO by Pulsed Laser Deposition: energetic vs thermal growth
Jeffrey G. Ulbrandt, Xiaozhi Zhang, Rui Liu +3
Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) is widely used to grow epitaxial thin films of quantum materials such as complex oxides. Here, we use in-situ X-ray scattering to study homoepitaxy of…
