Ferromagnetic materials exhibit intrinsiceasy'andhard'directions of the magnetization. This
magnetic anisotropy is, from both a technological and fundamental viewpoint one of the …

Pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) is a powerful method to grow thin films and multilayers of
complex materials such as transition metal oxides. In this case, the most cited advantage of …

A practical review of the use of laser ablation for the deposition of thin films of oxide
superconductors and metals is presented. Details of the design and operation of a laser …

This work describes a study of the classical electrical resistivity size effect in tungsten. The
important length scale for this size effect is the isotropic average electron mean free path …

Pulsed laser deposition is a highly flexible technique for the fabrication of thin films, and can
in principle be applied to all solid materials including metals, refractory metals and rare …

The Structure of Rare-Earth Metal Surfaces introduces the concepts of surface
crystallography and surface-structure determination, outlines the principles of the most …

Physical background of the operation of the cross-beam pulsed laser deposition (CBPLD) is
considered. In this modification of PLD, gas-dynamic interaction of two plasma plumes from …

The transport of the plasma, produced by pulsed laser ablation, through a curved magnetic
filter was investigated with the aim of depositing particulate-free thin films. The plasma …

Pulsed laser-assisted deposition (PLD) has recently emerged as a most promising film
growth technique, at least for basic research, as this has been best demonstrated for high Tc …

When a focused laser beam is irradiated onto a target, electrons and cations are emitted
from the target to form a plume (plasma). This phenomenon is referred to as laser ablation …
