Abstract
Pairs of thin silver crystals, 20,000 to 60,000 A thick, with different lattice orientations have been grown by epitaxial condensation in a single evaporation. Pair orientations were all combinations of the (100), (111), (110) and (112) planes parallel to film surface . Strong preferential orientation was obtained and pair mass thickness differences of 1-2% or less were achieved by using substrate temperatures in the general range 430 C to 470 C. The results indicate that condensation sticking coefficients for Ag on LiF are at most weak functions of temperature and orientation.
