  • Abstract
    (Sb2Te3)x(TiTe2) superlattices with varying values of x and fixed y were prepared using modulated elemental reactants. A procedure to calibrate the ratio of the elements and the absolute amount deposited is discussed. The structure of a reactant designed to form a (Sb2Te3)3(TiTe2)3 superlattice is followed as a function of annealing temperature. The annealing conditions obtained from this study enabled us to prepare a series of (Sb2Te3)x(TiTe2)y superlattices. The samples were characterized using X-ray reflectivity, X-ray diffraction, and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA).
