Abstract

We have grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) structurally coherent layers of MgO and a random bcc alloy of 70% Cr and 30% Mo to which MgO is lattice matched. Specimens werecharacterized by means of reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and diffraction (XPS/XPD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). These systems exhibit excellent long- and shortrange crystallographic order, as well as nearly perfect structural coherence across the interface.
