Abstract

Abstract In this study, the growth of multilayers of the type Fe/Ag and Cu/Pd is investigated using a molecular dynamics simulation method with embedded-atom method potentials. For both Fe/Ag and Cu/Pd, the mode of growth is of the Stranski-Krastanov type with several planes forming simultaneously. The film structure is amorphous with disordered and intermixed interfaces. It has, however, some potential interest for superlattice fabrication owing to the extremely short distance between the A and B interfaces. This possibility has also been investigated using quantum-mechanical calculations at the semiempirical level.
