Abstract
The ultrathin silver layers formation regularities were studied. Silver films were obtained by DC magnetron sputtering onto KCl cleaved facets in an ultrapure inert environment. The technique of samples obtaining was based on reducing of the percolation threshold for silver condensates under Volmer-Weber nucleation conditions and exposing of a growth surface to plasma. The condensates structure was investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy. The experiments have shown that on the initial stage of film growth on cleaved KCl facets solid amorphous layer was formed. With increasing of layer thi ckness a transition to crystalline state was occurred.
