Interface and proximity effect in exchange biased epitaxial metallic hetero-nanostructures


EMSL Project ID
43695

Abstract

The objective of this proposal is to address the interfacial and proximity effect as well as the structure-magnetism correlation in the epitaxial thin films and thin-film nanostructures. The interfacial effect in the epitaxial exchange biased metallic thin films is critical to the ferromagnetism, superconductivity and magnetoresistance, which are expected to be applied in various new types of memories and sensors. To obtain detailed information on the structure and epitaxy, specialized X-ray diffraction measurements performed at EMSL are required.
