Use of tin as a surfactant material for the growth of thin silver films on silicon oxide
چکیده انگلیسی

In this letter, we report on the use of tin as an effective surfactant material for silver growing on silicon oxide. We observed that submonolayers of Sn pre-deposited on SiO2 result in earlier film coalescence and formation of smoother Ag layers. We suggest that Sn atoms reduce the Ag-adatom mobility resulting in experimentally observed increased island density and decreased film roughness. Angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that Sn remains under the Ag layer giving circumstantial evidence that at later stages of Ag film growth Sn does not influence the interlayer transport.
