      Low-temperature growth of NiMnSb thin films by pulsed-laser deposition 

      Giapintzakis, John; Grigorescu, C.; Klini, A.; Manousaki, A.; Zorba, V.; Androulakis, J.; Viskadourakis, Z.; Fotakis, C. (2002)
      We report the growth of thin films of the ferromagnetic half-Heusler alloy NiMnSb by pulsed-laser deposition on Si (111) and polycrystalline InAs substrates. Highly crystalline films are grown using low substrate temperatures ...

      Surface particularities in pulsed laser ablation/deposition of the ferromagnetic alloy NiMnSb 

      Grigorescu, C. E. A.; Manea, S. A.; Mitrea, M.; Monnereau, O.; Notonier, R.; Tortet, L.; Keschawarz, R.; Giapintzakis, John; Klini, A.; Zorba, V.; Androulakis, J.; Fotakis, C. (2003)
      In this work we investigate the surface morphology and stoichiometry of the ablated targets employed with pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of thin films of the ferromagnetic half-Heusler alloy NiMnSb. The NiMnSb targets were: ...
