Abstract

In this chapter, reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) in combination with pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is described. Both the use of RHEED as a real-time rate-monitoring technique and methods to study nucleation and growth during PLD are discussed. After a brief introduction of RHEED, a case is made for the step density model to describe the intensity variations encountered during deposition. An overview of these intensity variations, the intensity response during an RHEED experiment as a result of various kinetic growth modes, is given.
