Abstract

The initial growth of pulsed laser deposited SrTiO3 on SrTiO3 has been studied using high pressure Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). For this, we developed a Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD)-RHEED system, with the possibility to study the growth and to monitor the growth rates, in situ, at typical PLD pressures (10-50 Pa). Using perfect single crystal SrTiO3 substrate surfaces, we observe true 2D intensity oscillations at different temperatures. Simultaneously, information on the diffusion of the deposited material on the surface could be extracted from the relaxation of the intensity after each laser pulse. The characteristic times depend on pressure and temperature as well as the 2D coverage during growth.
