Abstract

Molecular growth epitaxy (MBE) growth of (110) refractory metals on a-plane sapphire was discussed. Reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used. Results showed that both Nb and Ta grow in an approximate layer-by-layer mode and growth in Mo is attributed to greater mismatch with sapphire.
