Welcome to the Book

Welcome to the Book#

This book presents a comprehensive exploration of our research on The Predicting Pulsed-Laser Deposition SrTiO3 Homoepitaxy Growth Dynamics using High-Speed Reflection High-Energy Electron Diffraction, showcasing a collection of nine Jupyter Notebooks. These notebooks cover key aspects of the work, including analysis of RHEED metrics, AFM and XRD data, growth mechanisms, and characteristic times. Each chapter provides detailed explanations, visualizations, and insights that contribute to a deeper understanding of the project.

Below is the list of chapters and their focus:

Table of Contents#

    • Presents an in-depth exploration of the growth mechanism with supporting data and models.

  8. Characteristic Time

    • Investigates the characteristic time involved in the thin-film growth dynamics.

  9. Characteristic Time: Details

    • Offers a detailed discussion of characteristic time analysis, including detailed steps and fitting process of exponential decay process of surface dynamics.

How to Use This Book#

Each chapter is designed to stand alone, allowing you to explore specific topics of interest. For those new to the field, starting with the Abstract and proceeding sequentially is recommended. The detailed chapters (e.g., “Details” sections) provide more granular information for advanced readers.

You can interact with the content in various ways:

  • Launch on Colab: Run the notebooks interactively using Google Colab.

  • Open in Binder: Use Binder to explore and modify the notebooks in a temporary interactive environment.

  • Edit on GitHub: Access the raw code and notebooks directly in the GitHub repository.

We hope this book provides valuable insights into our research and facilitates further exploration of The Predicting Pulsed-Laser Deposition SrTiO3 Homoepitaxy Growth Dynamics using High-Speed Reflection High-Energy Electron Diffraction.
