摘要: Abstract We fabricated epitaxial SrB 6 (1 0 0) thin films on ultrasmooth sapphire (α-Al 2 O 3 single crystal) (0 0 0 1) substrates by laser molecular beam epitaxy. Reflection high-energy electron diffraction and X-ray measurements indicated the heteroepitaxial structure of (1 0 0)/sapphire with three domains relationship. The prepared exhibited atomically stepwise surface morphology, similar to that substrate used, 0.2-nm-high atomic steps ∼70-nm-wide terraces. showed semiconducting behavior, a resistivity 4.8 Ω cm at room temperature.
