Abstract
This project deals with the growth and characterization of nanoscopic bilayers of palladium on gold on silicon and gold on palladium on silicon. The Pd and Au films, having a thickness of 10 nm, will be deposited on a buffer layer of Au and Pd, with a thickness of 100 nm, which will be deposited on single-crystal substrates of silicon (100) and (111). The following bilayers will be produc…
