摘要
The present article focuses on the stress developing during the deposition of ultrathin epitaxial films in the thickness range of a few atomic layers. The studied systems exhibit the three well-known modes of film growth: Stranski-Krastanow mode [Ge/Si(001), Ge/Si(lll), Ag/Si(lll)], Frank-Van der Merwe mode [Fe/MgO(001)] and Volmer-Weber mode [Ag/mica(001), Cu/mica(001)]. The experimental results demonstrate the important role of the misfit strain as well as the contribution of surface stress effects as mechanisms for the stress in single atomic layers.
