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…

Local step-flow dynamics in thin film growth with desorption
Xiaozhi Zhang, Jeffrey G. Ulbrandt, Peco Myint +6
Desorption of deposited species plays a role in determining the evolution of surface morphology during crystal growth when the desorption time constant is short compared to the tim…

Early Stage Growth of Amorphous Thin Film: Average Kinetics, Nanoscale Dynamics and Pressure Dependence
Chenyu Wang, Karl F. Ludwig, Christa Wagenbach +5
We used the Coherent Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (Co-GISAXS) technique to study the average kinetics and nanoscale dynamics during early-stage a-WSi sputter…
