Solid-state synthesis, dewetting, and magnetic and structural characterization of interfacial FexSn1−x layers in Sn/Fe(001) thin films

Intrinsic anomalous Hall effect in thin films of topological kagome ferromagnet Fe3Sn2

“…2(b)], we observed Bragg peaks at 2θ = 28.18°, 34.06°, 39.82°, and 44.67°corresponding to (011), ( 110), (111), and (021) planes of antiferromagnetic FeSn phase (shown as green dashed lines) and Bragg peaks at 2θ = 30.05°, 40.83°, and 43.05°correspond to (015), ( 002) and (024) planes of the ferromagnetic Fe 3 Sn 2 phase (shown as red dashed lines). 44,53 Therefore, Ta seed layer Fe 3 Sn 2 has both ferromagnetic (Fe 3 Sn 2 ) as well as antiferromagnetic (FeSn) phases.…”

“…This unavoidably causes a mixed-phase growth of Fe 3 Sn 2 and FeSn unless growth para-meters are stringently tuned for a specific phase. 42,53 Recently, epitaxial thin films of single-phase FeSn and Fe 3 Sn 2 have been grown by various research groups on single-crystal substrates. [54][55][56] However, various thin-film fabrication issues such as the growth of films with different crystal orientations, and choice of ideal seed layer needs further experimental investigation.…”

Особенности протекания твердофазных реакций в трехслойной пленочной системе Sn/Fe/Cu

“…Этот подход дает уникальную возможность выявить взаимное расположение фаз в продуктах твердофазных реакций [7,11]. Данная работа является логическим продолжением исследований твердофазных реакций в двухслойных пленочных системах Sn/Fe [12] и Sn/Cu [13,14], позволивших установить последовательность и некоторые особенности твердофазных реакций между отдельными парами слоев Sn и Fe, Sn и Cu.…”
