Epitaxial films of silver are grown by sputtering on mica substrates at elevated temperature. A systematic study of samples grown on different substrates and at different temperatures is carried out using X‐ray diffraction (θ–2θ and Laue). Both the temperature and substrate play crucial roles for the growth of epitaxial films. The growth of epitaxial Ni on Ag single crystal by sputtering is also reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
