The unexpected dewetting during growth of silicene flakes with dendritic pyramids
Kejian Wang, Mathieu Abel, Filippo Fabbri +6
Silicene growth on graphene has emerged as a novel method for fabricating silicon-based van der Waals heterostructures. However, the silicene flakes produced in this manner are the…
Shape relaxation of epitaxial mesa for finite-size strain-engineering
Kennet D. R. Hannikainen, Luc Favre, Fabien Deprat +3
Silicon-Germanium (SiGe) layers are commonly used as stressors in the gate of MOSFET devices. They are expected to introduce a beneficial stress in the drift and channe…
Van der Waals heteroepitaxy of air stable quasi-free standing silicene layers on CVD epitaxial graphene/6H-SiC
Zouhour Ben Jabra, Mathieu Abel, Filippo Fabbri +8
Graphene, consisting of an inert, thermally stable material with an atomically flat, dangling bond-free surface is by essence an ideal template layer for van der Waals heteroepitax…
Shape and coarsening dynamics of strained islands
Guido Schifani, Thomas Frisch, Mederic Argentina +1
We investigate the formation and the coarsening dynamics of islands in a strained epitaxial semi-conductor film. These islands are commonly observed in thin films undergoing a morp…
Orientation dependence of the elastic instability on strained SiGe films
J. -N. Aqua, A. Gouyé, T. Auphan +3
At low strain, SiGe films on Si substrates undergo a continuous nucleationless morphological evolution known as the Asaro-Tiller-Grinfeld instability. We demonstrate experimentally…
Dynamics and ordering of the nucleationless island formation in heteroepitaxy
Jean-Noel Aqua, Thomas Frisch, Alberto Verga
We study the morphological evolution of strained islands in growing crystal films by use of a continuum description including wetting, elasticity and deposition flux. Wetting break…
