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…
Role of ferroelectric polarization during growth of highly strained ferroelectrics revealed by in-situ x-ray diffraction
Rui Liu, Jeffrey G. Ulbrandt, Hsiang-Chun Hsing +11
Strain engineering of perovskite oxide thin films has proven to be an extremely powerful method for enhancing and inducing ferroelectric behavior. In ferroelectric thin films and s…
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…
Coherent X-ray measurement of step-flow propagation during growth on polycrystalline thin film surfaces
Randall L. Headrick, Jeffrey G. Ulbrandt, Peco Myint +6
The properties of artificially grown thin films are strongly affected by surface processes during growth. Coherent X-rays provide an approach to better understand such processes an…
Ballistic Deposition of Nanoclusters
Jeffrey G. Ulbrandt, Yang Li, Randall L. Headrick
Nanoporous thin-films are an important class of materials, offering a way to observe fundamental surface and bulk processes with particles larger than individual atoms, but small e…
Transient phases during fast crystallization of organic thin films from solution
Jing Wan, Yang Li, Jeffrey G. Ulbrandt +4
We report an in-situ microbeam grazing incidence X-ray scattering study of 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (C-BTBT) organic semiconductor thin film deposition…
Co-GISAXS as a New Technique to Investigate Surface Growth Dynamics
Meliha G. Rainville, Christa Hoskin, Jeffrey G. Ulbrandt +5
Detailed quantitative measurement of surface dynamics during thin film growth is a major experimental challenge. Here X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy with coherent hard X-ray…
Using coherent X-rays to directly measure the propagation velocity of defects during thin film deposition
Jeffrey G. Ulbrandt, Meliha G. Rainville, Christa Hoskin +5
The properties of artificially grown thin films are often strongly affected by the dynamic relationship between surface growth processes and subsurface structure. Coherent mixing o…
