Columnar structured FePt films epitaxially grown on large lattice mismatched intermediate layer

Columnar structured FePt films epitaxially grown on large lattice mismatched intermediate layer

The microstructure and magnetic properties of the FePt films grown on large mismatched ZrN (15.7%) intermediate layer were investigated. With using ZrN intermediate layer, FePt 10 nm films exhibited (001) texture except for some weaker FePt (110) texture. Good epitaxial relationships of FePt (001) <100>//ZrN (001) <100>//TiN (001) <100> among FePt and ZrN/TiN were revealed from the transmission...

L10 FePt films epitaxially grown on MgO substrates with or without a Cr underlayer

FePt and FePt/Cr films were epitaxially grown on MgO (2 0 0) substrates at 350 1C by DC magnetron sputtering. The structural properties and epitaxial relationship are investigated by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD spectra revealed that both FePt and FePt/Cr films had a (0 0 1) preferred orientation. However, FePt films with Cr underlayers had a larger a and a smaller c than th...

Single Crystalline Wurtzite GaAs Nanoneedles Epitaxially Grown on Highly Lattice-Mismatched Sapphire with Bright Luminescence

Heterogeneous integration of dissimilar single-crystalline materials, such as III-V compound on Si or sapphire, enables functionalities and performance that cannot be achieved with single material system. Yet, lattice mismatch makes growing high quality thin film on dissimilar substrates difficult. Recently high quality nanowires have been demonstrated on substrates with large lattice mismatche...
