Nanostructure of Co/Cu multilayers

High density nanostructure transfer in soft molding using polyurethane acrylate molds and polyelectrolyte multilayers

Here we present an alternative, new, unconventional lithographic technique developed to create dense and multilevel nanostructure pattern transfer using a highly accurate polyurethane acrylate (PU, MINS101m, Minuta Tech.) mold and a polyelectrolyte multilayer as the adhesion promotion layer. Specifically, we demonstrate the pattern transfer of periodic 80 nm lines with 400 nm height and complex...

The pH Rule for Fabricating Composite CoCu Nanowire Arrays

A series of Co1 xCux (x 1⁄4 0:05{0:70) composite nanowire arrays have been electrodeposited in alumina templates. An apparent pH value rule for nanowire phase and composition has been found. Based on it, composite nanowires can be obtained and the composition becomes more controllable. In the composite nanowires, the cubic and hexagonal structures coexisted. The specific magnetic properties, co...

Oxide Multilayers

Multilayer thin films have been attracting attention for half-century due to many possible applications ranging from protective coating to Laser Diodes. State of the art production techniques, made it possible to deposit highquality multilayered thin films with atomically precise interfaces between different materials, including complex oxides with large and complicated unit cells [1]. Despite ...

Atomic Assembly of Magnetoresistive Multilayers

The nanostructure problem

The great gift of x-ray crystallography has made us almost complacent in our ability to locate the three-dimensional coordinates of atoms in a crystal with a precision of around 10−4 nm. However, the powerful methods of crystallography break down for structures in which order only extends over a few nanometers. In fact, as we near the one hundred year mark since the birth of crystallography, we...
