Interfacial Properties in Cu-phthalocyanine-based Hybrid Inorganic/Organic Multilayers

Interfacial properties of 5 nm MgO(001)/7 nm Fe(001)/1.8 nm MgO(001)/t nm Cu-phthalocyanine (CuPc) hybrid multilayers with t = 0, 1, 7, and 10 were investigated by using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). Rather sharp interfacial properties were observed in the CuPc films grown on an epitaxial MgO/Fe/MgO(001) trilayer than a MgO/Fe(001) bilayer. This work suggests a new way to improve devi...

Enhanced interfacial magnetic coupling of Gd /Fe multilayers.

The spatial extent zeta(AFM) and strength J(AFM) of the antiferromagnetic (AFM) exchange coupling at buried Gd /Fe interfaces in ferrimagnetic [Gd(50 A)Fe(15,35 A)](15) sputtered multilayers is obtained from combined x-ray resonance magnetic reflectivity and magnetic circular dichroism measurements. zeta(AFM) is 4.1(7) A or approximately 1-2 interatomic distances in bulk Gd and Fe; J(AFM) is 10...

Effect of interfacial microstructure on magnetic properties of dysprosium multilayers

Interfacial effects in composites

It is well known that the behavior of diverse multicomponent systems such as fibrous composites, particle—filled polymers, polymer blends, and pigmented coatings depends not only on the composition, morphology, and properties of the constituents, but also on the nature of the interfacial region. This paper reviews typical examples, with emphasis on interpretation of interactions between constit...
