Long-Wave Oscillations of the Intensity of an Electron Beam Specularly Reflected from the Surface of a Growing Heteroepitaxial Film

Resumo

A new mechanism for the generation of long-wave intensity oscillations of an electron beam specularly reflected from the surface of a growing heteroepitaxial film is proposed. It is based on the quantum-confinement effect in a thin single-crystal film. A graphic illustration of the calculated results is given. Methods for experimentally observing the predicted effects are proposed.
