Effects of stoichiometry and individual layer thickness ratio on the quality of epitaxial CrBx/TiBy superlattice thin films

Effects of stoichiometry and individual layer thickness ratio on the quality of epitaxial CrBx/TiBy superlattice thin films

Studies of single crystal artificial superlattices (SLs) of transition-metal (TM) diborides, which is instrumental to understand hardening mechanisms at nanoscale, is lacking. Here, CrBx/TiBy (0001) diboride SLs [x,y ∈ 1.7–3.3] are grown epitaxially on Al2O3(0001) substrates by direct-current magnet...
