Towards magnetic control of magnetite
F. J. Pedrosa, J. L. F. Cuñado, P. Perna +11
High quality stoichiometric magnetite (Fe3O4) films grown by infrared pulsed laser deposition (IR-PLD) on different surfaces were investigated in order to study the influence of th…
Real-space study of the growth of magnesium on ruthenium
Tirma Herranz, Benito Santos, Kevin F. McCarty +1
The growth of magnesium on ruthenium has been studied by low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). In LEEM, a layer-by-layer growth is observed…
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…
Electron reflectivity measurements of Ag adatom concentrations on W(110)
J. de la Figuera, N. C. Bartelt, K. F. McCarty
The density of two-dimensional Ag adatom gases on W(110) is determined by monitoring local electron reflectivity using low energy electron microscopy (LEEM). This method of adatom…
