Aa. Nefedov et al., TIME EVOLUTION OF 3-CRYSTAL X-RAY-SPECTRA DURING FLUORINATION OF A PTLAF3/SI STRUCTURE/, Technical physics letters, 24(7), 1998, pp. 554-555
A qualitative change was observed in the three-crystal x-ray spectra d
uring fluorination of a Pt/LaF3/Si structure. This may be attributed t
o smoothing of the surface of the platinum film, most likely as a resu
lt of the formation of platinum tetrafluoride which may undergo partia
l volatilization or partial dissociation with the sublimation of plati
