Abstract

Phase transformation in Pd{sub 3}In thin films has been investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Pd{sub 3}In films were sputtered onto room temperature substrates and characterized by TEM and XRD as disordered face centered cubic (fcc) structure. Ordered tetragonal structure was observed in the samples annealed up to 550 C. DSC measurements gave a heat of transformation of 3.25 kJ/mol.

Investigation of phase transformation behavior in sputter deposited PtMn thin films

Ji, C. -X. ; Ladwig, Peter F. ; Ott, Ronald D ; ... - Journal of the Minerals Metals & Materials Society (JOM)

Sputter-deposited, equiatomic PtMn thin films have application in giant magnetoresistive spin valves, tunneling magnetoresistive spin valves, and magnetic random access memory. However, the as-deposited films are found to be a disordered A1 phase in a paramagnetic state rather than an antiferromagnetic phase with L1{sub 0} structure, which is needed for device operation. Therefore, a postannealing step is required to induce the phase transformation from the as-deposited A1 face-centered-cubic phase to the antiferromagnetic L1{sub 0} phase. The A1 to L1{sub 0} metastable transformation was studied by x-ray diffraction and differential-scanning calorimetry. An exothermic transformation enthalpy of -12.1 kJ/mol of atoms wasmore »« less

Metastable bcc phase formation in 3d ferromagnetic transition metal thin films sputter-deposited on GaAs(100) substrates

Minakawa, Shigeyuki, E-mail: s-minakawa@futamoto.elect.chuo-u.ac.jp ; Ohtake, Mitsuru ; Futamoto, Masaaki ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Co{sub 100−x}Fe{sub x} and Ni{sub 100−y}Fe{sub y} (at. %, x = 0–30, y = 0–60) films of 10 nm thickness are prepared on GaAs(100) substrates at room temperature by using a radio-frequency magnetron sputtering system. The detailed growth behavior is investigated by in-situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction. (100)-oriented Co and Ni single-crystals with metastable bcc structure are formed in the early stage of film growth, where the metastable structure is stabilized through hetero-epitaxial growth. With increasing the thickness up to 2 nm, the Co and the Ni films start to transform into more stable hcp and fcc structures through atomic displacements parallel to bcc(110) slide planes,more »« less

Stratification-induced order--disorder phase transitions in molecularly thin confined films

Schoen, M. ; Diestler, D.J. ; Cushman, J.H. - Journal of Chemical Physics; (United States)

By means of grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo simulations of a monatomic film confined between unstructured (i.e., molecularly smooth) rigidly fixed solid surfaces (i.e., walls), we investigate the mechanism of molecular stratification, i.e., the tendency of atoms to arrange themselves in layers parallel with the walls. Stratification is accompanied by a heretofore unnoticed order--disorder phase transition manifested as a maximum in density fluctuations at the transition point. The transition involves phases with different transverse packing characteristics, although the number of layers accommodated between the walls remains unchanged during the transition, which occurs periodically as the film thickens. However, with increasingmore »« less

The structure of sputter-deposited Co{sub 2}MnSi thin films deposited on GaAs(001)

Kohn, A. ; Lazarov, V. K. ; Singh, L. J. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The structure of Co{sub 2}MnSi thin films on GaAs(001) has been characterized by transmission electron microscopy in order to evaluate the feasibility of achieving spin injection into GaAs from such electrodes. The films were dc-magnetron sputtered and varied in thickness between 15 and 260 nm with substrate temperatures during growth of 250, 300, and 374 degree sign C. All films exhibited a polycrystalline structure with mainly an L2{sub 1} type crystallographic symmetry, and a high degree of preferred orientation with the GaAs. A reaction with the GaAs substrate, rich in Mn and As, occurs for deposition even of the 15more »« less
