| Abstract: | In the present paper the oriented overgrowth of Au on alkalihalides in ultra high vacuum has been investigated. The result was, that in contradiction to high vacuum experiments no perfect orientation of gold on rocksalt was observed. The epitaxial temperatures for Au on KCl, KBr and KJ were higher than reported for experiments in high vacuum systems and were a function of the deposition rate. The influence of the local temperature shift, coased by the condensation energy, of amorphous layers on the surfaces and the procedure of evaporation has been investigated. |
