β¦ Synopsis
The growth of potassium discontinuous films onto a low-temperature oxidized silicon substrate has been followed in real-time by surface differential reflectance spectroscopy. The energy positions of the plasma resonances in the potassium particles and their changes as a function of the amount of potassium are related to the shape of the particles and to their interaction. Three stages in the formation of the film are determined: (i) nucleation of small spherical particles, (ii) growth and flattening of the particles, (iii) coalescence.
