Kinetics, thermodynamics, and catalysis of the cation incorporation into GeO2, SnO2, and (SnxGe1−x)O2 during suboxide molecular beam epitaxy by Wenshan Chen, Kingsley Egbo, Joe Kler, Andreas Falkenstein, Jonas Lähnemann, Oliver Bierwagen

“…We find S-MBE to simplify the growth kinetics, offering better control over growth rates than conventional MBE but without supporting cation-driven oxide layer etching. During binary growth, SnO incorporation is kinetically favored due to its higher oxidation efficiency and lower vapor pressure (limiting its loss by desorption) compared to those of GeO. …”
