A continuous fcc-to-bcc crystallographic transition via a homogeneous tetragonal lattice
deformation (Bain transformation) with increasing Fe coverage was observed in molecular …

Confinement of electrons can occur in metal islands or in continuous films grown
heteroepitaxially upon a substrate of a different metal or on a metallic alloy. Associated …

A strong reduction of the Curie temperature TC has been observed for room-temperature-
grown fcc Fe films on Cu (001) when covered with 1 monolayer (ML) Cu for all Fe …

We present a combined study of the growth, structure, and related magnetic properties of
Fe/W (001) using low-energy electron diffraction, scanning tunneling microscopy, the …

Using x-ray photoemission electron microscopy and the magneto-optical Kerr effect, we
have demonstrated a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy that could be due to exchange …

Magnetic ultrathin alloy films CoxNi1− x/Cu (100) were prepared to characterize the
behavior of spin reorientation transition (SRT). With the double calibration by medium …

Abstract The ultrathin Co x Ni 1− x/Cu (100) alloy films with low Co concentration x<~ 1 0%
was prepared for probing the effect of the d-band filling on the magnetic behavior. The …

We present a study of the structure of Co/W (001) determined by low-energy electron
diffraction, the film stress measured by a bending thin substrate, and the film morphology …

The crystalline structure and the magnetic properties of Co x Ni 1− x∕ Cu 3 Au (100) films
were characterized as functions of thickness and alloy composition. No apparent alloy effect …

Alloy oxidation is complex and involves several critical processes that lack understanding on
the atomic level. Here, we report an atomistic picture of the initial-stage oxidation of stepped …
