摘要
Magnesium stannide (Mg2Sn) is a small bandgap semiconductor of interest as a promising thermoelectric or optoelectronic material. Thin films of Mg2Sn were epitaxially grown on sapphire (0001) surfaces using molecular beam epitaxy. The epitaxial relationship is (111)(Mg2Sn) parallel to (0001)(Al2O3) and [11 (2) over bar](Mg2Sn) parallel to [10 (1) over bar0](Al2O3), with a small amount of stacking faults. A relatively high growth rate of 0.21-0.27 nm/s was attainable. (C) 2019 Author(s).
