Open AccessDirect 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 ...

High Resolution Magnetic Imaging by Local Tunneling Magnetoresistance
An introduction to spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy with a soft magnetic tip is given. After illustrating the fundamental physical effect of tunneling magnetoresistance and giving a short historica...

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...

High-resolution magnetic imaging by local tunneling magnetoresistance
We give an overview over our recent efforts of high-resolution magnetic imaging using scanning tunneling microscopy with a ferromagnetic tip. Magnetic sensitivity is obtained on the basis of local tunneling ma...

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...
