A review of uranium-based thin films
R. Springell, E. Lawrence Bright, D. A. Chaney +4
Thin films based on silicon and transition-metal elements dominate the semiconducting industry and are ubiquitous in all modern devices. Films have also been produced in the rare-e…
The malleability of uranium: manipulating the charge-density wave in epitaxial films
R. Springell, R. C. C. Ward, J. Bouchet +6
We report x-ray synchrotron experiments on epitaxial films of uranium, deposited on niobium and tungsten seed layers. Despite similar lattice parameters for these refractory metals…
Magnetization reversal processes in ErFe2/YFe2 exchange spring multilayer studied by xray magnetic circular dichroism
G. B. G. Stenning, A. R. Buckingham, G. J. Bowden +6
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism at the Er M4,5 edge is used to study the switching behavior of the hard ErFe2 layers in an epitaxial [ErFe2(70Å)/YFe2 (150Å)]{\times}25 exchange-s…
Controllable modification of the anisotropy energy in Laves phase YFe2 by Ar+ ion implantation
A. R. Buckingham, G. J. Bowden, D. Wang +4
Implanted 3.25 keV Ar+ ions have been used to modify the in-plane bulk anisotropy in thin films of epitaxially grown Laves phase YFe2. The magneto optical Kerr effect, vibrating sa…
Determination of the Spin Polarization of RFe2 (R = Dy, Er, Y) by Point Contact Andreev Reflection
C. Morrison, D. Wang, G. J. Bowden +2
Epitaxially grown intermetallic RFe2 (R = Dy, Er, Y) thin films have been studied by point contact Andreev reflection. Spin polarization values were extracted by fitting normalized…
Profile of the U 5f magnetization in U/Fe multilayers
S. D. Brown, L. Bouchenoire, P. Thompson +10
Recent calculations, concerning the magnetism of uranium in the U/Fe multilayer system have described the spatial dependence of the 5f polarization that might be expected. We have…
