We have studied the influence of hydrogen on the growth of sputter deposited Fe/V superlattices. We show that the high structral quality achieved previously [1] can be further improved by using a hydrogen enriched process gas. The multilayers have been grown epitaxially on MgO(001) substrates at elevated temperatures by DC-magnetron sputtering. In an argon-atmosphere (pAr = 7 mbar) containing a hydrogen partial pressures of up to 2×10−6mbar we deposited [Fe(2ML)/V(16ML)]×30 superlattices. At each chosen hydrogen pressure we prepared a series of samples at substrate temperatures between 270C and 320C. The structural characterization was carried out by x-ray diffraction at the wiggler beamline W1.1 of the Hamburg synchrotron laboratory (HASYLAB). Two trends are clearly observed. The mosaicity decreases with increasing H-pressure. Simultaneously, the interface quality increases, shown by x-ray reflectivities studies. We attribute this effects to an increased surface mobility of the metal atoms in the presence of hydrogen [2].This project was founded by the DFG under contract-Nr. RE 2203/1-1.
