Abstract
The homoepitaxial growth of Fe on (001) surfaces of Fe whiskers is used to study Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction. Variations in the intensity of the specular spot are followed during growth for temperatures from 100 K to 600 K. Mean field models of growth are used for the classification of types of RHEED oscillation patterns. Simple ideas of diffraction are employed to partially account for the effects of attenuation and surface disorder on the RHEED intensities.
