As a much-enriched supplement to the previous review paper entitled the “Effective work
functions for ionic and electronic emissions from mono-and polycrystalline surfaces”[Prog …

Ferromagnetic materials exhibit intrinsiceasy'andhard'directions of the magnetization. This
magnetic anisotropy is, from both a technological and fundamental viewpoint one of the …

In this paper, we review some of the key concepts in ultrathin film magnetism which underpin
nanomagnetism. We survey the results of recent experimental and theoretical studies of well …

This book, in the broadest sense, is an application of quantum mechanics and statistical
mechanics to the field of magnetism. Under certain well described circumstances, an …

Abstract We present a Ruderman-Kittel approach to the problem of oscillatory exchange
coupling between ferromagnetic layers separated by a nonmagnetic metal spacer. This …

Ultrathin magnetic metallic films have beenintensity investigated and have resulted in a wide
range of exciting studies which are attractive to scientists working in the basic aspects of low …

Using inverse photoemission and photoemission we find that the bulk bands become
discretized in highly perfect layer structures, such as Cu on fcc Co (100), Cu on fcc Fe (100) …

Metastable fcc structures using ultrathin layers of metastable fcc Co (001) and fcc Cu (001)
were grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. The growth was studied using reflection high …

Quantum well states are found at the Fermi level in Cu on Co (100) and Ag on Fe (100)
using inverse photoemission. They appear every 5.9±0.5 layers in Cu/Co (100), which …

Electrodeposition is one of the simpler and cheaper processes available for the fabrication
of thin metal films. Recent developments have made it possible to electrodeposit a wide …
