Abstract
Epitaxial growth of PbSe is addressed on (111) InP single crystals by elect rodeposition from aqueous solutions containing Se(IV), Pb(II) and Cd(II). T he structure of the deposits is studied by reflection high-energy electron diffraction and X-ray diffraction. It is shown that an epitaxial growth is only observed in the presence of cadmium in the electrolyte. The best epita xy is obtained for an optimal 0.5 M cadmium concentration.
