Nanostructuring of Multilayers by a Thermally Driven Self Assembling Process
Multilayers consisting of two immiscible components (e.g. Fe/Ag Fe/Au or Ni/NiO) could by transformed by an annealing process into a nanostructured system of non statistically distributed nearly spherical part...

Microstructure of pulsed laser deposited ceramic–metal and polymer–metal nanocomposite thin films
Ceramic–metal (MgO combined with Fe, Ti and Ni80Nb20) and polymer–metal (polycarbonate combined with Ag and Pd) nanocomposite multilayers were deposited at room temperature by laser ablation (at 248 nm). The mult...

Interfacial energy induced microstructure of thin magnetic iron/gold multilayer films
Magnetron sputtered iron/gold multilayers are investigated by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. Thermodynamic considerations can explain the different observed microstructures near the substrat...

Thermally Driven Shape Instability of Multilayer Structures
The thermally induced shape instability of Fe/Au, Fe/Ag, and Nb/Cu multilayer systems during heat treatments was investigated. The disintegration temperature of these systems decreases with decreasing single-l...
