螺旋生长、二维成核和Ehrlich-Schwoebel效应

Spiral growth, two-dimensional nucleation, and the Ehrlich-Schwoebel effect

Joachim Krug

摘要:

弗兰克在1949年对螺旋生长模式的预测定义了晶体生长历史上的一个关键时刻。近几十年来,这一主题已受到较少的关注,相反,我们已经看到了复活的二维成核理论的无缺陷同质外延薄膜的生长实验的背景下。特别是,层间传输控制的Ehrlich-Schwoebel型的阶梯边缘障碍在形成多层膜的形态的关键作用已越来越多地认识到。在简要回顾了经典理论之后,本文报道了最近在台阶边势垒存在下螺旋生长的研究。我们的主要观察是,步骤边缘障碍导致非常规形状的螺旋小丘,显示相同的特征不断陡峭的高度轮廓的婚礼蛋糕在生长过程中形成的二维成核。通过离子轰击Pt(111)表面诱导螺旋位错,从而形成螺旋小丘和婚礼蛋糕共存的同质外延生长系统,实验验证了这一预测。

英文摘要:

Frank's prediction of the spiral growth mode in 1949 defined a pivotal moment in the history of crystal growth. In recent decades the topic has received less attention, and instead we have seen a resurrection of two-dimensional nucleation theory in the context of growth experiments on defect-free homoepitaxial thin films. In particular, the key role of interlayer transport controlled by step edge barriers of the Ehrlich-Schwoebel type in shaping the morphology of multilayer films has been increasingly recognized. After a brief review of the classical theory, this paper reports on a recent study of spiral growth in the presence of step edge barriers. Our key observation is that step edge barriers lead to unconventionally shaped spiral hillocks that display the same characteristic ever-steepening height profiles as wedding cakes formed during growth by two-dimensional nucleation. This prediction was verified experimentally by inducing screw dislocations through ion bombardment of the Pt(111) surface, thus creating a homoepitaxial growth system on which spiral hillocks and wedding cakes coexist.
