Abstract:Thin iron films are interesting for fundamental studies
and have
applications in sensors, actuators, magnetic memory, and spintronic
devices. Here, the electrodeposition of thin iron films on Si(100)
is investigated with microscopy techniques and a modeling approach.
Atomic force microscopy images of films with thicknesses from 6 to
180 nm show initial island growth, and after the formation of a continuous
film, a decrease in the lateral correlation length is associated with
a decrease in the width of surface … Show more
