我们相信人工制备的 薄膜的合成和加工过程对薄膜的性能有很大的影响 所采用的方法，因此结构和化学 表征必须在所有研究中发挥关键作用， 这样的电影。 我们计划合成新型磁性薄膜， 最先进的技术，如溅射和分子束 外延，然后表征结构和化学成分 使用各种各样的方法。 生长与表征 研究将与物理性质，特别是 磁输运和磁化。 这些研究将涉及 超晶格和界面的磁性与两个问题-巨 磁阻和交换偏置接收特性 关注

We believe that the physical properties of artificially-prepared thin films are strongly affected by the synthesis and processing methods employed and therefore structural and chemical characterization must play a key role in all research performed on such films. We plan to synthesize novel magnetic thin films using state-of-the-art techniques such as sputtering and molecular-beam epitaxy, then characterize the structure and chemical composition using a wide variety of methods. Growth and characterization studies will be correlated with physical properties, especially magnetotransport and magnetization. The studies will relate to the magnetism of superlattices and interfaces with two problems - giant magneto-resistance and exchange bias - receiving particular attention.
