EurekAlert  August 27, 2020 An international team of researchers (Russia, South Korea, Australia) suggest a new approach to manage spin-electronic properties and functionality of the thin-film magnetic nanosystems. For their experiment they grew a series of palladium films with an ideal single crystal structure. The surface of palladium was coated by thin films of platinum and a magnetic alloy. The system was capped with different variants of materials such as magnesium oxide, tantalum, ruthenium. The capping material influenced the magnetic anisotropy strongly. The deposited Pt and CoFeSiB layers repeated the morphology of the Pd surface. The method is important for […]
