Metal-Metal Superlattices

  • Conference paper
Dynamical Phenomena at Surfaces, Interfaces and Superlattices

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Surface Sciences ((SSSUR,volume 3))

Abstract

An introduction to metal-metal superlattices is presented, along with a brief review of some of the materials which have been made, and phenomena which have been observed so far. We describe in detail the results of a number of structural characterization techniques applied to these materials, including Bragg θ-2θ x-ray diffraction, transmission and reflection Laue diffraction, wide film Debye-Scherrer diffraction, Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). Particular emphasis is placed on recent results obtained with Ta/Mo superlattices produced by sputtering techniques.
