I am studying the development of microstucture in sputtered metallic films. In particular I'm looking into how a preferred orientation of the crystal arises during growth. Currently, I'm in the midst of a literature search, but "preferred orientation" isn't a good keyword to search on. I've got some papers on "crystal growth from the vapor phase" but not much that's recent. Does anyone know any good papers in this area or related areas? Thanks in advance.

[...] Does anyone know any good papers in this area or >related areas? Without being insulting, have you tried "crystallographic texture" "pole figure", or "orientation distribution" as key words? Sounds like we are at similar stages in thesis research. I am investigating various texture determination methods for the analysis of bulk titanium aluminide alloys. A recent review may be of use to you D.J. Dingley, V. Randle, "Review Microtexture Determination by Electron Back-Scatter Diffraction", J. Matl. Sci., [27] 4545-4566 (1992). Sampling volume might be a problem with thin films? Also, X-ray methods are used with bulk materials. If you have access to a texture goniometer with a thin film attachment (I have only heard of these, Rigakku makes one, I think), perhaps this may be able to do the job. Color metallography may provide a qualitative means of determining texture (G.F. Vander Voort, "Tint Etching", Metal. Progr. March 1985, 31-41.) A book on orientation distribution functions (a powerful way of quantifying texture data) is available: Quantitative Texture Analysis, H.J. Bunge, C.Esling, eds., DCM Metallurgy Information. It is now on sale for $28.00, call 212-679-0782. Save the cheep binding, it looks like a good introductory book. By the way, I tried to reply via e-mail. Your system bounced the messages.
