Questioning van der Waals Epitaxy of Non-Layered Materials on Mica: The Case of ScN
Susmita Chowdhury, Faezeh Alijan Farzad Lahiji, Mikael Ottoson +6
Growing stress-free epitaxial films by van der Waals epitaxy (vdWE) is of interest for realizing flexible optoelectronics and energy devices from freestanding epilayers. However, v…

Stranski-Krastanov Growth of Disordered ScNx Thin Films on MgO(100): Influence of Defect Densities on Electronic Structure and Transport Properties
Susmita Chowdhury, Rachana Gupta, Najnin Bano +5
We report a nascent real time Stranski-Krastanov growth of reactively sputtered ScNx thin films on MgO(100). The epitaxial growth was limited to 5 nm at a substrate temperature (Ts…

Electronic structure and thermoelectric properties of epitaxial Sc1-xVxNy thin films grown on MgO(001)
Susmita Chowdhury, Niraj Kumar Singh, Sanath Kumar Honnali +4
The electronic structure of Sc1-xVxNy epitaxial films with different alloying concentrations of V are investigated with respect to effects on thermoelectric properties. Band struct…
