Tetragonal states from epitaxial strain on metal films
The tetragonal states produced by isotropic pseudomorphic epitaxial strain in the ~001! plane on a tetragonal phase of a crystal are calculated for V, Ti, Rb, Li, K, and Sr from first-principles electronic theory. It is shown that each metal has two tetragonal phases corresponding to minima of the total energy with respect to tetragonal deformations ~and hence are equilibrium phases! and that t...
متن کاملReal-time microscopy of graphene growth on epitaxial metal films: role of template thickness and strain.
Epitaxial transition metal films have recently been introduced as substrates for the scalable synthesis of transferable graphene. Here, real-time microscopy is used to study graphene growth on epitaxial Ru films on sapphire. At high temperatures, high-quality graphene grows in macroscopic (>100 μm) domains to full surface coverage. Graphene nucleation and growth characteristics on thin (100 nm)...
متن کاملStrain-induced polarization rotation in epitaxial (001) BiFeO3 thin films.
Direct measurement of the remanent polarization of high quality (001)-oriented epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films shows a strong strain dependence, even larger than conventional (001)-oriented PbTiO3 films. Thermodynamic analysis reveals that a strain-induced polarization rotation mechanism is responsible for the large change in the out-of-plane polarization of (001) BiFeO3 with biaxial strain while t...
متن کاملTuning magnetic coupling in Sr2IrO4 thin films with epitaxial strain.
We report x-ray resonant magnetic scattering and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering studies of epitaxially strained Sr2IrO4 thin films. The films were grown on SrTiO3 and (LaAlO3)0.3(Sr2AlTaO6)0.7 substrates, under slight tensile and compressive strains, respectively. Although the films develop a magnetic structure reminiscent of bulk Sr2IrO4, the magnetic correlations are extremely anisotropi...
متن کاملEpitaxial growth and surface properties of half-metal NiMnSb films.
We present, herein, an extended study of the half-Heusler alloy NiMnSb, starting with the deposition technique, continuing with the basic structural and magnetic properties of the thin films, and finishing with the electronic and compositional properties of their surfaces. The experimental methods we apply combine magnetization and magnetoresistivity measurements, atomic force microscopy, ferro...
