The Rashba effect is an interaction between the spin and the momentum of electrons
induced by the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in surface or interface states. Its potential for …

We have investigated the magnetotransport properties of ultrathin films of Bi grown on
thermally oxidized Si (001) substrates with thickness ranging from 10 to 100 nm at …

Oblique angle deposition is a promising technique for tuning the physical properties of thin
films. Structural, surface morphology, electrical and wettability properties are strongly …

We show that an optimized growth of magnetic layer/non-magnetic layer stacks allows for
the improvement of the spin-to-charge conversion efficiency. From the analysis of the …

Magnetic-field dependence of conductivity in ultrathin Bi films is measured in applied
magnetic fields up to 9 T, in both directions, perpendicular and parallel to the film plane, at …

We present here a systematic investigation of microstructures and their correlations with the
optical band gap of highly oriented polycrystalline Bismuth thin films. Bismuth thin films of …

The oriented growth and morphology of polycrystalline bismuth (Bi) films deposited on
insulating substrates is investigated based on the molecular beam epitaxy method. The film …

Using a two-carriers model and the Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka (HLN) theory, we investigate the
influence of large area patterning on magnetotransport properties in bismuth thin films with a …

This work reports a new facile approach to fabricate high-quality epitaxial Bi thin films by
direct electrochemical reduction of epitaxial δ-Bi2O3 thin films on Au single crystals in …

We show here that superconductivity can be induced in bismuth nanostripes through
electrical contact with an s-wave superconductor. By studying the electrical transport …
