      Strong paramagnetism and possible ferromagnetism in pure carbon nanofoam produced by laser ablation 

      Rode, A. V.; Gamaly, E. G.; Christy, A. G.; Gerald, J. G. Fitz; Hyde, S. T.; Elliman, R. G.; Luther-Davies, B.; Veinger, A. I.; Androulakis, J.; Giapintzakis, John (2005)
      We report the production of a hierarchically nanostructured magnetic carbon foam by high-repetition-rate laser ablation of glassy carbon in Ar. The clusters contain both sp2 and sp3 bonded carbon atoms. The material contains ...

      Structural, magnetic, and electrical properties of NiMnSb thin films grown on InSb by pulsed-laser deposition 

      Gardelis, S.; Androulakis, J.; Giapintzakis, John; Monnereau, O.; Buckle, P. D. (2004)
      We report the growth of single-phase, stoichiometric polycrystalline thin films of the half-Heusler ferromagnet NiMnSb, predicted to be half-metallic, on single crystal InSb (100) substrates heated at 200°C by pulsed laser ...

      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: ...

      Synthesis and physical properties of arc melted NiMnSb 

      Gardelis, S.; Androulakis, J.; Migiakis, P.; Giapintzakis, John; Clowes, S. K.; Bugoslavsky, Y.; Branford, W. R.; Miyoshi, Y.; Cohen, L. F. (2004)
      The synthesis and physical properties of arc melted NiMnSb were studied using X-ray diffraction analysis. It was observed that the half metallicity in NiMnSb is supported by the integer saturation magnetization value at 5 ...

      Thermoelectric properties of LaNi1-xCoxO3 solid solution 

      Migiakis, P.; Androulakis, J.; Giapintzakis, John (2003)
      The thermoelectric properties of the selected members of the LaNi 1-xCoxO3 solid solution were investigated. The electrical properties of the solution investigated were determined from the doping level. The substitution ...

      Thickness dependence of Hall transport in Ni1.15Mn 0.85Sb thin films on silicon 

      Branford, W. R.; Clowes, S. K.; Bugoslavsky, Y. V.; Gardelis, S.; Androulakis, J.; Giapintzakis, John; Grigorescu, C. E. A.; Manea, S. A.; Freitas, R. S.; Roy, S. B.; Cohen, L. F. (2004)
      Highly spin polarized Heusler alloys, NiMnSb and Co2MnSi, attract a great deal of interest as potential spin injectors for spintronic applications. Spintronic devices require control of interfacial properties at the ...

      Unconventional magnetism in all-carbon nanofoam 

      Rode, A. V.; Gamaly, E. G.; Christy, A. G.; Gerald, J. G. Fitz; Hyde, S. T.; Elliman, R. G.; Luther-Davies, B.; Veinger, A. I.; Androulakis, J.; Giapintzakis, John (2004)
      We report production of nanostructured magnetic carbon foam by a high-repetition-rate, high-power laser ablation of glassy carbon in Ar atmosphere. A combination of characterization techniques revealed that the system ...
