A new method of analysing shapes of RHEED intensity oscillations observed during epitaxial growth of ultrathin films is presented. The intensity of the specular electron beam is computed by solving the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation. The method can be used for interpreting data collected at very low glancing angle (< 1°) of the incident electron beam. In the paper we show numerically determined shapes of the intensity oscillations for different cases of settling of atoms at surfaces of growing films. |
