Pulsed-laser deposition of NiMnSb thin films at moderate temperatures
(2002)
Thin films of the half-Heusler alloy NiMnSb, which is predicted by band-structure calculations to be a half-metallic ferromagnet, were grown on various substrates (Si and InAs) using pulsed-laser deposition. The growth ...
Synthesis and physical properties of arc melted NiMnSb
(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 ...
Stoichiometry issues in pulsed laser deposition of the ferromagnetic alloy NiMnSb
(Affiliation: NIRDO, BucharestAffiliation: MADIREL, Univ. Provence Centre St. Charles, Marseille, FranceAffiliation: Natl. Inst. Res. Devmt. Mat. Phy., BucharestAffiliation: Foundation for Res. and Technology, HELLAS, Inst. Electron. Structure and Laser, Heraklion, Crete, GreeceCorrespondence Address: Grigorescu, C.E.A.NIRDO, Bucharest, 2002)
We report on the reproducible growth of stoichiometric thin films of ferromagnetic intermetallic compound NiMnSb by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on various substrates. The films are grown at moderate temperature (around ...
Investigations on the self propagating reactions of nickel and aluminum multilayered foils
(2008)
The self-propagating reaction of nickel-aluminum thin film multilayers with a bilayer thickness of 43 nm was investigated using high-speed optical camera and infrared thermometry. The results indicate a two-stage reaction ...
Modelling study of liquid crystals orientation in the presence of corrosion potential
(2010)
The anchoring and orientation of liquid crystal (LC) molecules are influenced by several parameters. This paper presents theoretical work that aims to explain how surface changes and potential due to corrosion, affect the ...
Comparison of free surface polarization of NiMnSb and Co2 MnSi
(2006)
We present a systematic study of the polarization of the transport current from a variety of NiMnSb and Co2 MnSi thin films and bulk material using point contact Andreev reflection spectroscopy. The simple analysis suggests ...
Matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation of Mn 12(Propionate) thin films
(2012)
Single molecule magnets are of great interest due to a multitude of potential applications for some of which thin films are required. Traditional physical vapor deposition techniques are not suitable for the deposition of ...
KrF pulsed laser deposition of La5Ca9Cu24O41 thin films on various substrates
(2009)
Recent studies on single crystals of cuprate oxides containing spin chains and ladders have reported large anisotropic magnon-mediated thermal conductivity. A potential use of thin films of such materials could be in the ...
PLD of Fe3O4 thin films: Influence of background gas on surface morphology and magnetic properties
(2006)
Ablation of Fe3O4 targets has been performed using a pulsed UV laser (KrF, λ = 248 nm, 30 ns pulse duration) onto Si(100) substrates, in reactive atmospheres of O2 and/or Ar, with different oxygen partial pressures. The ...
Mn12 benzoate thin films on Si substrates fabricated by matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation
(2010)
We report on the successful implementation of Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation, to obtain films of the single molecule magnet Mn12 benzoate on Si substrates. The films have been characterized by optical microscopy, ...
