Diffusion on the nano/atomic scales in multilayers, thin films has many challenging features
even if the role of structural defects (grain-boundaries, dislocations, etc.) can be neglected …

The stability, electronic structure, mechanical and thermodynamic properties of Fe 11 Si 5,
Fe 2 Si, Fe 5 Si 3 (with the Mn 5 Si 3 structure), FeSi, α-FeSi 2 and β-FeSi 2 (orthorhombic) …

Magnetic tunnel junctions based on FeCoB as a magnetic electrode and MgO as a tunneling
barrier gained much attention because of their applications in random access memories and …

Kirkendall effect has played an important role in develo** the understanding of atomic
diffusion and mass transport in solids. In thin films and multilayers, in which the …

Due to their excess surface free energy and structural instabilities, nanoparticles exhibit
interesting physical and chemical properties. There has been an ever-growing interest in …

Understanding how diffusion takes place within nanocrystals is of great importance for their
stability and for controlling their synthesis. In this study, we used the strain sensitivity of …

Interfacial atomic diffusion, reaction, and formation of microstructure in nanoscale level are
investigated in W/B 4 C multilayer (ML) system as functions of thickness in ultrathin limit …

FeCoB/MgO bilayer is prepared to study the interface magnetism and its role in azimuthal
angle-dependent magnetic properties. As observed in magneto-optic Kerr effect …

This work provides a better understanding and behavior of the metal–organic interface
magnetism, which plays a crucial role in organic spin-valve devices. Interface magnetism …

In this paper, we present a detailed study on the microstructure evolution and interdiffusion
in Nb/Si-layered systems. Interlayer formation during the early stages of growth in sputter …
