Stripe-tetragonal first-order phase transition in ultrathin magnetic films
We analyze the nature of the phase transition from a smectic stripe phase to a tetragonal phase predicted in analytic studies by Abanov et al. @Phys. Rev. B 51, 1023 ~1995!# and observed in experiments on ultrathin magnetic films by Vaterlaus et al. @Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2247 ~2000!#. At variance with existent numerical evidence, we show results of Monte Carlo simulations on a two-dimensional m...

متن کاملElastic Moduli of Ultrathin Amorphous Polymer Films
The elastic moduli of ultrathin poly(styrene) (PS) and poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) films of thickness ranging from 200 nm to 5 nm were investigated using a buckling-based metrology. Below 40 nm, the apparent modulus of the PS and PMMA films decreases dramatically, with an order of magnitude decrease compared to bulk values for the thinnest films measured. We can account for the observed dec...
متن کاملSpeed of sound in periodic elastic composites.
We consider the low-frequency limit (homogenization) for propagation of sound waves in periodic elastic medium (phononic crystals). Exact analytical formulas for the speed of sound propagating in a three-dimensional periodic arrangement of liquid and gas or in a two-dimensional arrangement of solids are derived. We apply our formulas to the well-known phenomenon of the drop of the speed of soun...
متن کاملTexture, twinning and metastable “tetragonal” phase in ultrathin films of HfO2 on a Si substrate
Thin HfO2 films grown on the lightly oxidised surface of (100) Si wafers have been examined using dark-field transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction in plan view. The polycrystalline film has a grain size of the order of 100 nm and many of the grains show evidence of twinning on (110) and (001) planes. Diffraction studies showed that the film had a strong [110] o...
