Interface magnetism in Fe/Alq3 bilayer; interface resolved nuclear resonance scattering studies

Stereodynamics in state-resolved scattering at the gas-liquid interface.

Stereodynamics at the gas-liquid interface provides insight into the important physical interactions that directly influence heterogeneous chemistry at the surface and within the bulk liquid. We investigate molecular beam scattering of CO(2) from a liquid perfluoropolyether (PFPE) surface in vacuum [incident energy E(inc) = 10.6(8) kcal/mol, incident angle theta(inc) = 60 degrees] to specifical...

Angular resolved scattering by a nano-textured ZnO/silicon interface

Textured interfaces in thin-film silicon solar cells improve the efficiency by light scattering. A technique to get experimental access to the angular intensity distribution (AID) at textured interfaces of the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) and silicon is introduced. Measurements are performed on a sample with polished microcrystalline silicon layer deposited onto a rough TCO layer. The AID...

Multiplexed droplet Interface bilayer formation.

We present a simple method for the multiplexed formation of droplet interface bilayers (DIBs) using a mechanically operated linear acrylic chamber array. To demonstrate the functionality of the chip design, a lipid membrane permeability assay is performed. We show that multiple, symmetric DIBs can be created and separated using this robust low-cost approach.

Interface-induced magnetism in perovskite quantum wells

Subtle interface magnetism of Fe/Au multilayers

By ab initio LMTO calculations in atomic-sphere approximation we have studied the interlayer exchange coupling between Fe films separated by Au spacers in infinite Fe/Au multilayers with (001) interface orientation. We also performed detailed calculations of the magnetization and charge profiles across the system. We find an enhancement of the Fe moments at the interface, which amount to ≈ 2.8 ...
