his dissertation describes the development of an alternative synthesis approach to prepare superlattice containing complicated component materials. This new technique is based not on epitaxial growth but on kinetic trapping of the desired crystalline superlattice from an elementally modulated ultra-thin multilayer reactant through the solid-state reaction. Using this new approach, (TiSe;Systematic x-ray diffraction study on ;In an attempt to correlate physical properties to the superlattice structure, a series of... |
