Thin film deposition is a fundamental technology for the discovery, optimization, and manufacturing of functional materials. Deposition by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) typically employs reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) as real-time in situ probe growing film. However, state-of-the-art RHEED analysis during requires human observation. Here, we present an approach using machine learning (ML) methods to monitor, analyze, interpret images on-the-fly thin deposition. In...
Abstract Emergent behavior at oxide interfaces has driven research in complex films for the past 20 years. Interfaces have been engineered applications spintronics, topological quantum computing, and high-speed electronics with properties not observed bulk materials. Advances synthesis made growth of these possible, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies often explained interfacial phenomena. This review discusses leading recent research, focusing on key results XPS that...
Perovskite oxides such as LaFeO$_3$ are a well-studied family of materials that possess wide range useful and novel properties. Successfully synthesizing perovskite oxide samples usually requires significant number growth attempts detailed film characterization on each sample to find the optimal window material. The most common real-time \textit{in situ} diagnostic technique available during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) synthesis is reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED)....
Machine learning (ML) with in situ diagnostics offers a transformative approach to accelerate, understand, and control thin film synthesis by uncovering relationships between conditions material properties. In this study, we demonstrate the application of deep predict stoichiometry Sr$_x$Ti$_{1-x}$O3 films using reflection high-energy electron diffraction images acquired during pulsed laser deposition. A gated convolutional neural network trained for regression Sr atomic fraction achieved...

4d transition metal oxides have emerged as promising materials for numerous applications including high mobility electronics. SrNbO3 is one such candidate material, serving a good donor material in interfacial oxide systems and exhibiting electron ultrathin films. However, its synthesis challenging due to the metastable nature of d1 Nb4+ cation limitations delivery refractory Nb. To date, films been grown primarily by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), but development means grow stabilize via...
We demonstrate how ordered arrangements of oxygen vacancies can be engineered during the growth superconducting La2CuO4 films by oxide molecular-beam epitaxy. These are seen using in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction. Based on qualitative real-time observations, we propose a surface reconstruction mechanism emphasizing active role dopants and at film surface. Due to specific atomic arrangement induced dopant positions, characteristic “stripes” generated, they determine...
The utilization of preventive health care services prenatally and for children up to 3 years old was determined by mailed questionnaire. parents surveyed were randomly chosen from birth records provided the Utah Bureau Vital Records. "Adequate use services" defined as six prenatal visits a full-term pregnancy seven well-child during first life. Responses, received 219 (36.5%) parents, indicated only 1 percent did not utilize adequate care. Women made an average 11.3 their pregnancies; 83 saw...
