Growth Of Metastable Zb Crse

this paper we present, for the first time, evidence of the metastable compound CrSe grown by MBE in the ZB crystal structure. Using a compound 6N CdSe source and 6N purity Cr we demonstrate the material can be grown with a growth rate of 0.06 angstrom s(-1) in layers up to approximately 20 nm thick. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), X-ray reflection (XRR), RHEED and optical microscopy were used to examine the composition and morphology. (C) 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
