    Direct observation of a highly spin-polarized organic spinterface at room temperature

    Organic semiconductors constitute promising candidates toward large-scale electronic circuits that are entirely spintronics-driven. Toward this goal, tunneling magnetoresistance values above 300% at low temper...

    Magnetoelectric coupling at metal surfaces

    Magnetoelectric coupling allows the magnetic state of a material to be changed by an applied electric field. To date, this phenomenon has mainly been observed in insulating materials such as complex multiferro...

    Etching nano-holes in silicon carbide using catalytic platinum nano-particles

    The catalytic reaction of platinum during a hydrogen etching process has been used to perform controlled vertical nanopatterning of silicon carbide substrates. A first set of experiments was performed with pla...

    Vertical nanopatterning of 6H-SiC(0001) surfaces using gold-metal nanotube membrane lithography

    Large-area membranes consisting of arrays of gold metal nanotubes were used as shadow masks to generate vertical nanopatterned 6H-SiC(0001) substrates. The gold membranes are formed by a replication technique ...

    Highly regular nanometer-sized hexagonal pipes in 6H-SiC(0001)

    An array of troughs was prepared on a 6H-SiC(0001) surface using focused ion beam (FIB) patterning. Troughs were etched with various ion doses and close-to-circular voids of increasing depths for larger ion do...

    The Role of Interfaces in Magnetic and Electron Transport Properties of Au/Fe/Cu/Fe/GaAs(001) and Fe/MgO/Fe-Whisker(001) Systems

    Smooth and As free Fe layers were grown directly on semi-insulating GaAs(001) templates with a pseudo 4 × 6 surface reconstruction. The STM studies revealed that the pseudo 4 × 6 reconstruction consists of 1 ×...

    New concepts for controlled homoepitaxy

    On the basis of a kinetic growth model we discuss new methods to grow atomically flat homoepitaxial layers in a controlled way. The underlying principle of these methods is to change the growth parameters duri...

    Mössbauer line-sharpening: Application to magnetically-split spectra

    The contrast in a Mössbauer spectrum can be enhanced by a model-independent method of line sharpening, due to Afanas'ev and Tsymbal, which employs higher powers of Lorenztian lines. We have investigated the ap...
