The Bain library: A Cu-Au buffer template for a continuous variation of lattice parameters in epitaxial films

Smallest variations of the lattice parameter result in significant changes in material properties. Whereas in bulk, lattice parameters can only be changed by composition or temperature, coherent epitaxial growth of thin films on single crystals allows adjusting the lattice parameters independently....
