• heteroepitaxial growth, it may be considered valid also for solid-phase epitaxy, which occurs in our system (Mn wetting layer on Ge), since the key role in the process is the mechanism of diffusion of adatoms (i.e., Mn) occurring also during the annealing process. According to this model, the optimal island shape

• transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM); nanoparticles; reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED); solid-phase epitaxy; texture; Introduction Due to their attractive catalytic properties for oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) [1][2] as well as their high magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy density

• annealing at 460 °C for 30 min and 600 °C for 45 min, symmetric streaks are observed in Figure 5b and Figure 5c, respectively, proving solid phase epitaxy [31]. It should be noted that due to the high surface sensitivity of RHEED and the film thickness of 3 nm, the patterns can exclusively be assigned to
