Abstract
This paper reports observations on the nucleation and growth of palladium and indium thin films deposited onto heated (00l)-sodium chloride substrates. It has been observed that the nucleation and growth characteristics of palladium and indium are different. The differences have been explained on the basis of classical nucleation theory. Studies on the effect of lateral electric fields on the epitaxial growth of these films have also been made. No predominant effects were observed with flash evaporation. This may be due to either the absence of positive charges in the vapor stream; or the enhancement of coalescence due to the electric field in the presence of high supersaturation is ineffective.
