Abstract
Recent studies of buried interface α-Fe2O3(0001)/α-Al2O3 using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and ion scattering techniques reveal the existence of disordering at the interface due to the misfit dislocations. Molecular dynamics (MD) calculations were carried out to understand the formation of misfit dislocations and the interface structural features. The misfit dislocations are formed because of the lattice mismatch between the substrate and the film. Ion scattering simulations were carried out using VEGAS code, in which the atomic positions generated by the MD calculations were used. The hitting probabilities determined from these simulations were compared with the experimental surface and interface peaks obtained from the aligned RBS spectrum.
