Pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) is a powerful method to grow thin films and multilayers of
complex materials such as transition metal oxides. In this case, the most cited advantage of …

Publisher Summary Stimulated by technological prospects of high-density magneto-optical
(MO) recording and by fundamental research on magnetism, a wealth of experimental data …

The aim of this book is to review recent achievements in thetheoretical investigations of the
electronic structure, optical, magneto-optical (MO), and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism …

In this article, we highlight the growing application of intermetallic compounds in
heterogeneous catalysis. We clearly discuss intermetallics as distinct from other multi …

L 1 0 ordered FePt alloy films with large magnetic anisotropy have been successfully
prepared by alternating Fe (001) and Pt (001) monatomic layers on MgO (001) substrates at …

Alternate monatomic layer (ML) deposition technique has been used to fabricate a
metastable L10-ordered phase of FeNi alloys. The films were prepared by alternating Fe …

The current standard of electronic devices and data storage media has reached a level such
that magnetic materials have to be fabricated on a nanometer scale. In particular, the …

Magnetization-induced effects in the nonlinear optical response of magnetic media, such as
magnetization-induced-second-harmonic generation (MSHG), led to very strong and novel …

Alloys and intermetallic compounds of Au with the 3 d transition metals Fe, Co, and Ni are
nonequilibrium phases that have many useful potential applications as catalytic, magnetic …

L1 0-FeNi films were grown by alternate monatomic layer deposition on Au–Cu–Ni buffer
layers at several substrate temperatures (T s), and the relation between the uniaxial …
