(Phys.org) —Many new technologies are based on ultra-thin layered structures that are "grown" using precise deposition techniques. Understanding and ultimately controlling this growth at the atomic level – particularly at the interfaces between these layers, where key properties arise – is essential to imparting these structures with properties tailored to possible applications.
