Depth-dependent fct to fcc strain relaxation in CoxNi1−x/Cu3Au(100) alloy films

“…Compared with the similar studies from other groups, Seider et al [21] observed only four oscillations, but Braun et al [22] observed more than 10 oscillations in their system. In our study, the incident angle is another important factor that has great influence on the MEED oscillation.…”

“…In this work, Co x Ni 1Àx /Cu 3 Au(1 0 0) with x < 11% is prepared at room temperature. The substrate Cu(1 0 0) (a = 3.61 A ˚) [3,8] is replaced by Cu 3 Au(1 0 0) (a = 3.75 A ˚) [21] in order to get the more obvious strain relaxation. The small concentration of Co can provide another point of view for the SRT studying.…”

“…Pronounced intensity oscillations of a diffracted electron beam recorded during film growth indicated a good layer-by-layer growth for Ni 0.35 Pd 0.65 on Cu 3 Au͑100͒ that deteriorates for higher or lower Ni concentrations. 7 A rough surface contributes to breaking the momentum conservation in the photoemission process and leads to a smearing of the photoelectron spectra. The second complication stems from the unknown segregation effect at the surface.…”

Magnetism and magnetic anisotropy of NixPd1−x alloy

“…Magnetic anisotropy is one of the intensively studied issues due to its critical role in magnetic recording. It is known to be affected by several factors, such as structure [1,2], film strain [3] and thickness [4], temperature [5], broken symmetry at the interface [6] and so forth. As a potential candidate for magnetic recording, Ni x Pd 1Àx alloy has been studied for a long time.…”
