摘要: We report on the occurrence of rotational domains involving 4-fold symmetric epitaxy a hexagonal net, rare case in literature. A temperature-driven crossover from fully (111)- to (001)-oriented samarium nitride grown by molecular beam (0001) aluminum is observed means situ reflection high energy electron diffraction, scanning tunnelling microscopy studies, and ex X-ray diffraction. Using an especially rich set growth conditions nitrogen precursors, we observe key role played kinetics, with strong thermal cracking ammonia source re-evaporation Sm adatoms occurring same temperature range orientation crossover.
