Abstract

RHEED and AES studies showed deposition-concurrent surface segregation (DCSS) consists of two stages: an initial and a continuous segregation stage. The dominant terms of the enthalpies of DCSS were shown to be the difference between the surface energies of the film and the substrate material.
