We have observed nanopattern formation with robust and controllable spatial ordering by
laser-induced dewetting in nanoscopic metal films. Pattern evolution in Co film of thickness …

In this study, the development of uniaxial magnetic anisotropy (UMA) and out-of-plane
coercivity (H c┴) in W/Co 20 Fe 60 B 20 (CoFeB)/W structures by tuning the annealing …

We present a systematic investigation of the in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy induced
by the morphology due to ion erosion of MgO (001). Ion milling at oblique incidence forms a …

3D reciprocal space mapping in the grazing incidence small-angle x-ray scattering geometry
was used to obtain accurate morphological characteristics of nanoripple patterns prepared …

Vicinal sapphire surfaces with 1, 5, or 10 miscut angle from the (00l) planes have been
annealed under different atmospheres in the temperature range from 1000 to 1500 C for a …

In order to reveal the true microstructure of a sample one must often go through tedious and
time-consuming surface preparation steps. The most abundant ones are polishing and …

In this chapter, we extend the discussion of curvature effects in magnetism towards the
description of geometrically curved magnetic thin shells. A self-consistent micromagnetic …

Ion beam irradiation has been shown to be an interesting tool for tailoring the magnetic
properties of thin films and multilayers. The modified properties include magnetic anisotropy …

Ion beam sputtering (IBS) can induce the formation of ordered nanostructures, whose
properties depend on ion flux, sputtering angle, sample temperature, sample structure …

We present results on the growth and magnetic anisotropies of Co75Fe25 films grown on a
Cu (110) single crystal. Angular dependent MOKE measurements show a thickness …
