description:
	We have studied the Ag/Ge(111) system and found, remarkably, that atomically flat films can be grown on a Ge substrate. Quantum Size effects may be the cause of this behavior. As the size of a film approximates atomic dimensions, quantum effects are thought to play a major role in film growth. In order to investigate further we plan to realize annealing experiment and carefully study the morphology of the grown films. We also plan to study other interface, the so called root 3 Ag reconstruction on Ge as this interface is smother and growth have been shown to be dependent on the type of interface.
