description:
	Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) provides a unique way to deposit complex stoichiometric films under a variety of easily obtainable growth conditions.  The heteroepitaxial growth processes that occur during PLD have not been studied extensively and especially not with x-rays.  I propose an in situ study of the growth of TiN on sapphire using surface x-ray diffraction.  By studying the oscillations in intensity at various points in reciprocal space during deposition, information can be learned about the film structure and evolution as it is forming.

	PLD chamber
