Measuring the magnetization of three monolayer thick Co islands and films by X-ray dichroism
A. Mascaraque, L. Aballe, J. F. Marco +7
Co islands and films are characterized by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism photoemission electron microscopy (XMCD-PEEM). The spatial resolution capabilties of the technique toget…
Structure and magnetism in ultrathin iron oxides characterized by low energy electron microscopy
Benito Santos, Elena Loginova, Arantzazu Mascaraque +3
We have grown epitaxial films a few atomic layers thick of iron oxides on ruthenium. We characterize the growth by low energy electron microscopy. Using selected area diffraction a…
Coinage-metal capping effects on the spin-reorientations of Co/Ru(0001)
Farid el Gabaly, Kevin F. McCarty, Andreas K. Schmid +5
Thin films of Co/Ru(0001) are known to exhibit an unusual spin reorientation transition (SRT) coupled to the completion of Co atomic layers for Co thicknesses under 4 layers. By me…
Nanoscale periodicity in stripe-forming systems at high temperature: Au/W(110)
J. de la Figuera, F. Leonard, R. Stumpf +2
We observe using low-energy electron microscopy the self-assembly of monolayer-thick stripes of Au on W(110) near the transition temperature between stripes and the non-patterned (…
Labyrinthine Island Growth during Pd/Ru(0001) Heteroepitaxy
Nicolas Rougemaille, Farid El Gabaly, Roland Stumpf +4
Using low energy electron microscopy we observe that Pd deposited on Ru only attaches to small sections of the atomic step edges surrounding Pd islands. This causes a novel epitaxi…
Determining the structure of Ru(0001) from low-energy electron diffraction of a single terrace
J. de la Figuera, J. M. Puerta, J. I. Cerda +2
While a perfect hcp (0001) surface has three-fold symmetry, the diffraction patterns commonly obtained are six-fold symmetric. This apparent change in symmetry occurs because on a…
