Abstract
Pulsed laser deposition is highly successful for growing complex films such as oxides for substrate buffer layers and HiTc oxide superconductors. A surface diffraction chamber has been constructed to study fundamental aspects of non-equilibrium film growth using pulsed laser deposition. Due to the pulsed nature of the ablating laser, the deposited atoms arrive on the substrate in short sub-millisecond pulses. Thus monitoring the surface x-ray diffraction following individual laser pulses (with resolution down to ~1 ms) provides direct information on surface kinetics and the aggregation process during film growth. The chamber design, based upon a 2+2 surface diffraction geometry with the modifications necessary for laser ablation, is discussed, and initial measurements on homo-epitaxial growth of SrTiOa are presented.
