Abstract

The synthesis of a number of (Bi2Te3)x(HfTe2)y superlattices was accomplished using the modulated elemental reactants (MER) method. The samples were characterized using X-ray reflectivity and X-ray diffraction in the as deposited (amorphous) state and as a function of annealing temperature and time.
