Observation of large wave vector interface spin waves: Ni(100)/fcc Co(100) and Cu(100)/Co(100)
Using electron energy loss spectroscopy, we have probed the spin waves of fcc(100) cobalt after capping with 1–3 atom layers of pseudomorphic nickel or up to 12 atom layers of copper. The intensity decay of the spin wave signal is quantitatively described by the mean-free path of the incident and the scattered electron within the capping layer. The observed spin waves are therefore localized at...
متن کاملSpin-polarized electron energy loss spectroscopy of high energy, large wave vector spin waves in ultrathin fcc Co films on Cu(001).
The realm of high energy, large wave vector spin waves in ultrathin films and at surfaces is unexplored because a suitable method was not available up to now. We present experimental data for an 8 ML thick Co film deposited on Cu(001) which show that spin-polarized electron energy loss spectroscopy can be used to measure spin-wave dispersion curves of ultrathin ferromagnetic films up to the sur...
متن کاملEffects of Cobalt Doping on Optical Properties of ZnO Thin Films Deposited by Sol–Gel Spin Coating Technique
Cobalt (Co) doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films, containing different amountof Cobalt nanoparticles as the Co doping source, deposited by the sol–gel spin coatingmethod onto glass via annealing temperature at 400˚C, have been investigated by opticalcharacterization method. The effect of Co incorporation on the surface morphology wasclearly observed from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. ...
متن کاملInteraction of atomic hydrogen with monometallic Au(100), Cu(100), Pt(100) surfaces and surface of bimetallic Au@Cu(100), Au@Pt(100) overlayer systems: The role of magnetism
The spin-polarized calculations in generalized gradient approximation density–functional theory (GGA–DFT) have been used to show how the existence of second metals can modify the atomic hydrogen adsorption on Au (100), Cu (100), and Pt (100) surfaces. The computed adsorption energies for the atomic hydrogen adsorbed at the surface coverage of 0.125 ML (monolayer) for the monometallic Au (100), ...
متن کاملOnset of magnetic order in fcc-Fe films on Cu(100).
On the basis of an ab initio theory of metallic magnetism in layered materials, we investigate the onset of magnetic order in thin (2-8 layers) fcc-Fe films on and embedded in Cu(100) substrates. In particular, we find an oscillatory dependence of the Curie temperatures on embedding depth, in excellent agreement with experimental data. The thermally induced spin fluctuations are treated within ...
