The apparatus comprises an enclosure defining A               a vacuum chamber. A substrate holder is mounted within the vacuum chamber. At least one molecular beam source is in fluid communication ¨22 with the vacuum chamber. A cooling shroud having at least one surface is mounted within the vacuum chamber spaced from the substrate hold-.    213            = 211 209                                      er. A cryocooler having at least a portion extending into the vacuum -    -                chamber is operatively coupled to the cooling shroud for extracting heat 209--=                       ----214 therefrom, and cooling the at least one surface of the cooling shroud to L                     cryogenic temperatures.
