The low-temperature transport properties of Ni/Co superlattices were systematically studied. While the resistivity, anisotropic magnetoresistance and anomalous Hall coefficient oscillate as functions of Co and/or Ni layer thicknesses, the ordinary Hall coefficient does not. These oscillations are interpreted as a true superlattice effect, since they disappear when the number of bilayer periods ...

Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to explore the effects of incident adatom angle upon the atomic scale structure of Ni/Cu/Ni multilayers grown by vapor deposition under controlled incident atom energy conditions. For incident atom energies of 1 eV or less, increasing the incident angle increased interfacial roughness, resulted in void formation in the nickel layer, and intermixing ...

We reported a facile one-pot synthesis of bimetallic CoCu nanoparticles (NPs) anchored on graphene hydrogel (GH-CoCu) as catalysts in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis ammonia borane (HAB). The presented novel method composed reduction mixture oxide, cobalt(II), and copper(II) acetate tetrahydrates by aqueous ethylene glycol solution teflon-coated stainless-steel reactor at 180 °C. struct...

Miniaturization of electronic devices has led to the development of 3D IC packages which require ultra-small-scale interconnections. Such small interconnects can be completely converted into Cu-Sn based intermetallic compounds (IMCs) after reflow. In an effort to improve IMC based interconnects, an attempt is made to add Ni to Cu-Sn-based IMCs. Multilayer interconnects consisting of stacks of C...
