Abstract
We report on the interfacial intermixing of ultrathin Co films on a Cu (001) single crystal, two materials that are immiscible in the bulk. W ith increasing deposition rate we find a crossover from layer-by-layer to bilayer growth due to a hindered diffusion from the first layer to the substrate. Above two monolayers, growth proceeds In a layer-by-la yer fashion. These effects are explained in terms of surface free ener gies. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
