Abstract

We find that epitaxial Fe films sandwiched between epitaxial Ag films grown on GaAs (001) substrates possess residual coherency strain at a thickness of 2000Å. The [001] directions of the Fe and Ag films are tilted with respect to the GaAs [001] axis. The tilts are coplanar with the tilt of the substrate surface normal to the [001] axis of GaAs and are qualitatively consistent with a recently proposed modol for tilted epitaxy.
