摘要: The epitaxial growth of CaO films on mechanical-damage-free MgO(001) surface using low-temperature buffer technique has been carefully investigated. strain is effectively relaxed in the CaO/MgO interfacial layers by lattice distortion and misfit dislocations as confirmed transmission electron microscopy, which facilitates subsequent smooth film at high temperature. relaxation mechanism heterointerface discussed detail.
