Anomalous epitaxial stability of (001) interfaces in ZrN/SiNx multilayers

Isostructural stability of B1-NaCl type SiN on (001) and (111) oriented ZrN surfaces is studied theoretically and experimentally. The ZrN/SiNx/ZrN superlattices with modulation wavelength of 3.76 nm (dSiNx∼0.4 nm) were grown by dc-magnetron sputtering on MgO(001) and MgO(111). The results indicate t...
