Ballistic electron emision microscopy spectra have been measured at room temperature on Au films deposited on the Si(111)-H surface by different procedures. In order to analyze them in detail, we propose a fully analytical description of these spectra, directly based on the phase-space model of...

The effects of Si nanocluster (Si-nc) size on the energy transfer rate to Er ions were investigated through studies made on appropriate configurations of mutilayers (MLs) consisting in about 20 periods of Er-doped Si-rich SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>. These MLs were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering at...</subscript></subscript>

Zinc oxide thin films were sputter deposited on (100) silicon substrates at 250 <Superscript>○</Superscript>C substrates temperature via reactive unbalanced dc magnetron process using pure zinc target and argon/oxygen gases. The influence of the applied dc sputtering power (between 100 to 250 Watts, step 50 Watts) on...</superscript>

Vanadium and hafnium nitride nanoscale films were synthesized onto (100)-oriented silicon wafers by reactive dc-magnetron sputtering. The temperature of the substrate was fixed at 150 °C. Several analysis techniques were used to characterize the resulting films: Wave Dispersion Spectroscopy...

This work reports the magnetic properties of sputtered permalloy (Ni<Subscript>80</Subscript>Fe<Subscript>20</Subscript>) multilayers grown changing the anisotropy direction 90° in successive layers. Magnetic measurements show how the saturating field can be controlled by the thickness ratio between different anisotropy layers and how the...</subscript></subscript>

We present a heuristic, semiphenomenological model of the anomalous temperature (T) dependence of resistivity ρ <Subscript> xx </Subscript> recently observed experimentally in the quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) organic conductors of the (TMTSF)<Subscript>2</Subscript>X family in moderately strong magnetic fields.

The experimental results reveal a two-dimensional confinement of the carriers in the (a, b)...</subscript></subscript>

The spin Hall transport properties in a two-dimensional electron system with both Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and magnetic impurities are investigated. Electrons are scattered by impurities through an exchange interaction that leads to spin flip-flop processes and so changes the spin Hall...
