Coherent Properties of Single Crystal Metal Superlattices

他们正在探索稀有金属的磁性和结构行为， 地球超晶格和埋层。 这些系统现在可以 以垂直于该平面的a、B或c轴生长。 他们寻求 为了理解取向依赖的外延相图， 反铁磁稀土元素，如镝，铒， 钬，铽，强烈依赖于磁致伸缩 在存在外延“夹紧”的情况下的应变。 的方式 不同类型的间隔层将连续的磁耦合 层转变成具有改进性质的超晶格也是 中央利益。 这些现象是用小说来追求的。 材料合成，通过磁性和机械测量， 以及通过光、X射线和中子散射技术。

They are exploring the magnetic and structural behavior of rare earth superlattices and buried layers. These systems can now be grown with a, b or c axes perpendicular to the plane. They seek to understand the orientation-dependent epitaxial phase diagrams of the antiferromagnetic rare earths such as Dysprosium, Erbium, Holmium, Terbium, which depend strongly on magnetoeslastic strains in the presence of epitaxial "clamping". The way different types of spacer layers couple successive magnetic layers into superlattices with modified properties is also of central interest. These phenomena are pursued using novel materials synthesis, by magnetic and mechanical measurements, and by the techniques of light, x-ray and neutron scattering.
