✦ Synopsis

A Mo/Ni superlattice with a modulation wavelength A = 52 A was prepared using magnetron sputtering.

It was shown by x-ray diffraction and ion milling Auger electron spectroscopy that the sample was compositionally modulated and that the thickness of the individual layers was uniform. A cubic structure was observed with ultrahigh voltage electron diffraction.

The crystal structures of the Mo and Ni in the superlattice did not change, however their lattice constants were both expanded.

The lattice constants of the Mo and Ni were both 3.73 ~, and growth was in the [111] direction. I.
