The epitaxial growth of silver and gold films by sputtering

Abstract
The growth of epitaxial films by evaporation of both metals and non-metals has been considered by many workers (Pashley 1956, Bassett et al. 1959). Little attention has been paid to the growth of sputtered films, although Chopra et al. (1963) have reported that epitaxial films of gold can be grown by sputtering onto mica substrates at temperatures above 280°C.
