Neutron Diffraction Investigations of Magnetism in BiFeO3 Epitaxial Films
The recovery of a modulated magnetic structure in epitaxial BiFeO 3 thin fi lms as revealed by neutron diffraction is reported. The magnetic structure in thin fi lms is found to strongly depend on substrate orientation. The substrate orientation causes different strain–relaxation processes resulting in different thin-fi lm crystal structures. The (110) oriented fi lm with a monoclinic structura...
متن کاملاثرات نرمی پتانسیل بین سطوح بر روی بازتابندگی، فاز و قطبش نوترونهای بازتابیده از لایههای مغناطیسی در بازتاب سنجی نوترونی
In the past decades, neutron reflectometry have flourished as an applicable method to the study of thin films. As an example, the type and thickness of an unknown thin film which is mounted on top of a magnetic substratum could be determined by measuring the intensity and polarization of the reflected neutrons from the sample. Neutron reflectometry is based on solving the one dimentional schröd...
متن کاملBoundary magnetization properties of epitaxial Cr2−xAlxO3 thin films
Boundary magnetization properties of epitaxial Cr2−xAlxO3 thin films" The magnetoelectric antiferromagnet α-Cr 2 O 3 (chromia) is known to possess a roughness insensitive net equilibrium magnetization at the (0001) surface, called boundary magnetization (BM), which is coupled to the bulk antiferromagnetic order parameter. In order to verify whether this symmetry sensitive BM persists in alloys,...
متن کاملLarge uniaxial magnetostriction with sign inversion at the first order phase transition in the nanolaminated Mn2GaC MAX phase
In 2013, a new class of inherently nanolaminated magnetic materials, the so called magnetic MAX phases, was discovered. Following predictive material stability calculations, the hexagonal Mn2GaC compound was synthesized as hetero-epitaxial films containing Mn as the exclusive M-element. Recent theoretical and experimental studies suggested a high magnetic ordering temperature and non-collinear ...
متن کاملUltraviolet detectors based on annealed zinc oxide thin films: epitaxial growth and physical characterizations
In this report, ultraviolet (UV) detectors were fabricated based on zinc oxide thin films. The epitaxial growth of zinc oxide thin films was carried out on bare glass substrate with preferred orientation to (002) plane of wurtzite structure through radio frequency sputtering technique. The structural properties indicated a dominant peak at 2θ=34.28º which was matched with JCPDS reference card N...
