Spintronics is an emergent interdisciplinary topic for the studies of spin-based, other than or
in addition to charge-only-based physical phenomena. Since the discovery of giant …

Epitaxy—the growth of a crystalline material on a substrate—is crucial for the semiconductor
industry, but is often limited by the need for lattice matching between the two material …

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 …

Recent breakthroughs in the electrical detection and manipulation of antiferromagnets have
opened a new avenue in the research of non-volatile spintronic devices,,,,,,,,,. Antiparallel …

Large, well-defined magnetic domains, on the scale of hundreds of micrometers, are
observed in G a 1-x M nx A s epilayers using a high-resolution magneto-optical imaging …

Epitaxial bcc Fe has been grown on GaAs (100)-(4× 6) at room temperature and studied with
in situ magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE), low-energy electron diffraction, and alternating …

This article presents a review of the structural and magnetic properties of ultrathin epitaxial
Fe films on GaAs (001) and related semiconductor substrates. Interest in these systems and …

We have established an optimized growth temperature range, namely, 150° C< TG< 250° C,
where ferromagnetic Fe 3 Si/GaAs (001) hybrid structures with high crystalline and …

We report experimental results on the structural, magnetic, electronic, and spin transport
properties of a 21 nm Fe 3 Si∕ GaAs (001) heterostructure epitaxially grown by …

Grazing incidence x-ray diffraction study of Fe epitaxial ultrathin films (1.5–13 nm) on GaAs
(001) reveals an anisotropy of both domain shape and strain, with [110] and [1-10] as the …
