Abstract

Epitaxial growth of thin films, alloys, and multilayers from the Cu-Ni system are being explored as a means of fabricating a substrate to lattice match diamond. These single crystal films are superior to commercially available substrate material. Due to the high reactivity of the metal surfaces in atmosphere, all processing must be done under UHV conditions. In vacuo preparation, growth, and analysis of the metals is described.
