Scanning tunneling microscopy studies show that atomically flat but slightly corrugated films of Ag(111) can be produced by depositing ~15 9 of Ag on GaAs(110) at 40K and then annealing at 300K. These films are six layers thick, but they also contain voids that extend to the GaAs surface. Time-dependent imaging shows void growth due to spontaneous dewetting. Void growth is accompanied by the transfer...
Different nucleation and growth mechanisms (Volmer-Weber, Frank-van der Merwe, and Stranski-Krastanov) have been found to operate in electrocrystallization and ultra-thin film formation of metals, Me, on foreign substrates, S, where 2D UPD Me adlayers on S can act as precursors for the subsequent nucleation and growth. Modern techniques, particularly in situ STM with lateral atomic resolution, give...
