In this paper, we report the growth of epitaxial Cu3Ge thin films on c-plane sapphire substrate through domain matching epitaxy. Systematic study on the crystallinity of Cu3Ge thin films is carried out to correlate epitaxial characteristics with substrate lattice misfit. The crystallinity and epitaxy of the as-grown Cu3Ge thin films are improved considerably by controlling the parameters of pulsed...
