Abstract

The nucleation, growth and orientation of bismuth films vapour-deposited onto pure and bismuth-doped sodium chloride cleavages have been studied. The saturation nucleation density of bismuth on both pure and doped cleavages was found to be of the same order, i.e about 3.8×1011cm-2 at 180°C. It was observed that films deposited onto pure sodium chloride cleavages exhibit a (001) orientation whereas those deposited onto bismuth-doped cleavages exhibit a (012) orientation at a substrate temperature of 180°C.
