Abstract
The effect of adsorbed gas on the growth of gold films on mica at epitaxial temperatures is investigated by comparing the growths on air exposed and vacuum cleaved mica surfaces. Evaporations at residual gas pressures of 3 x 10-8 mm Hg are employed to make films with optical thicknesses of 10 Å. Optical and electron transmission examinations show that adsorbed gas drastically effects the initial growth of the film
