摘要: Ultrathin praseodymia films have been deposited on both Cl-passivated and nonpassivated Si(111) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Comparative studies the crystallinity stoichiometry are performed x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, standing waves, reflectometry. On an amorphous silicate film is formed. In contrast, form a well-ordered crystalline with cubic-Pr2O3 (bixbyite) structure. The vertical lattice constant of increased 1.4% compared to bulk value. Furthermore, formation extended interface layers suppressed confined only one monolayer.
