ABSTRACTSurface superstructures (reconstructed structures) have been observed by many authors. However, it is not easy to confirm that a superstructure does exist at an interface between two solid layers. The present paper reports a direct observation, by a grazing incidence x-ray diffraction technique with use of synchrotron radiation, of superstructures at the interface. Firstly, the boron-induced R30° reconstruction at the Si interface has been investigated. At the a Si/Si(111) interface, boron atoms at 1/3 ML are substituted for silicon atoms, thus forming a R30° lattice. Even at the interface between a solid phase epitaxial Si(111) layer and a Si(111) substrate, the boron-induced R30° reconstruction has been also observed. Secondly, SiO2/Si(100)-2×l interfacial superstructures have been investigated. Interfacial superstructures have been only observed in the samples of which SiO2 layers have been deposited with a molecular beam deposition method. Finally, the interfaces of MOCVD-grown AIN/GaAs(100) have been shown to have 1×4 and 1×6 superstructures.

ABSTRACTStudies on the electrical conductivity of molecular beam deposited carbon films after annealing of the carbon films have been carried out. Detailed temperature dependence of conductivity on the as-deposited and on annealed samples has been investigated. The results were interpreted in terms of a model which includes a variable range hopping and strongly scattering metallic components. A correlation between annealing behavior of the electrical conductivity and the results of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy is presented.

ABSTRACTPowder X-Ray diffraction (XRD) has been used to study multilayered structures grown by, organic molecular beam deposition based on the molecular materials PTCDA and metal-free phthalocyanine (H2Pc). Double layers of different polymorphic forms (α, β1 and β2) of H2Pc indicate that the structure of the second layer is determined by the properties of the first layer. It is also shown that the first layer completely disrupts the crystallinity of the second layer in heterostructures containing PTCDA and H2Pc. The implication is that a strong templating effect occurs during the growth of multilayer molecular thin film structures.

The growth of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon perylene on (110) oriented copper substrates has been studied by means of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, near-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. In the monolayer regime, the molecules are orientated with their molecular plane parallel to the substrate, whereas they adopt a tilted arrangement in multilayer films. For multilayers with thicknesses exceeding 10 nm, the molecules grow in a bulk-like structure with their long axes orientated upright to the substrate surface.
