Abstract:Abstract:Thin epitaxial and polycrystalline MnzPtl-z films with 0 ::; x ::; 0.38 were prepared by molecular beam epitaxy on (001) SrTi0 3 substrates. RHEED patterns confirm the epitaxial growth of the epilayers on the monocrystalline substrate. X-ray diffraction measurements reveal an anomalous structural strain-induced phase transition from the AuCus to the AuCu structure. The Curie temperature of strained epilayers is enhanced compared to polycrystalline films, while the magnetization is reduced. Magnetizati… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
