Pulsed Laser Deposition of Silicon Nanostructures
Silicon nanostructures embedded in an amorphous matrix have been synthesized by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) at room temperature. The structural and optical properties of the materials were tailored by varyin...

The Magneto-Optical Quantum Size Effect in bcc-Fe(001) and (110) Ultrathin Films
Recently, the oscillation of the magneto-optical effect with respect to the ferromagnetic layer thickness was observed for bcc-Fe(001) ultrathin films. The oscillation periods have been explained by the theory...

Effect of Cap-Layers on Interlayer Exchange Coupling
The effect of non-magnetic cap-layers on the amplitudes and the phases of the oscillations of interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) is studied theoretically on ab initio level. We employ a spin-polarized surface Gre...

Magneto-Optical Effects of Ultrathin Ferro-, Antiferro- and Non-Magnetic Films
Thickness dependence of the magneto-optical Kerr effects (MOKE) in ultrathin ferromagnetic films, antiferromagnetic films and nonmagnetic films were measured carefully employing wedge shaped samples at room te...
