Abstract

An interesting type of surfactant-mediated growth is observed in epitaxy of Fe on Cu(001). It differs from the usual phenomenon by the fact that two species, oxygen and carbon, are required to suppress three-dimensional islanding. Alone they have little or no detrimental effect on the growth mode. One of the species dissolves in Fe, drastically affecting the stability of this pseudomorphic ultrathin film system.
