Hexagonal close-packed Ni nanostructures grown on the „001... surface of MgO
We report the in situ microscopy observation of an unnatural phase of Ni, a highly strained hexagonal close-packed shcpd form which we believe is stabilized by heteroepitaxial growth on the s001d face of MgO. We find that the nanosized hcp nickel islands transform into the normal face-centered cubic structure when the size of the islands exceeds a critical value sabout 2.5 nm thick with a later...
متن کاملLithium-molybdate nanostructures grown on the Mo(001)surface
Ordered Li–Mo mixed-oxide films of different compositions have been grown on a Mo(001) surface and analyzed by means of scanning tunnelling microscopy, low-energy-electron-diffraction and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy. Starting from a disordered LixO ad-layer grown at room temperature, a scheelite-type Li2MoO4 phase develops on the Mo surface after annealing to 700 K. The building blocks of ...
متن کاملEpitaxial Ag(001) grown on MgO(001) and TiN(001): Twinning, surface morphology, and electron surface scattering
Epitaxial Ag(001) layers were deposited on MgO(001) in order to study electron surface scattering. X-ray reflection indicates 3D layer nucleation with a high rms surface roughness of 1.0 nm for a layer thickness d1⁄4 3.5 nm. X-ray diffraction shows that f111g twins form at d< 11 nm, followed by 2nd generation twinning for 11 nm< d< 120 nm. Increasing the growth temperature from 25 to 150 C supp...
متن کاملMagnetic characterization of (001) and (111) Ni films epitaxially grown on MgO
One interesting application of epitaxial magnetic thin films is to use them as one of the electrodes in a spin-dependent tunneling junction, in order to use the magnetocrystalline anisotropy to define the required two states of the magnetization. [1] In our preliminary work, we prepared epitaxial magnetic films on copper buffer layers grown on silicon substrates. [2] The single crystalline qual...
متن کاملThe mechanism of sputter-induced epitaxy modification in YBCO (001) films grown on MgO (001) substrates
The sputter-induced epitaxy change of in-plane orientation occurring in YBa2Cu3O72x (001) thin films grown on MgO (001) substrates by pulsed organo-metallic beam epitaxy (POMBE) is investigated by a series of film growth and characterization experiments, including RBS and TEM. The factors influencing the orientation change are systematically studied. The experimental results suggest that the su...
