The creation of large magnetic fields is a necessary component in many technologies,
ranging from magnetic resonance imaging, electric motors and generators, and magnetic …

Gadolinium is a nearly ideal soft-magnetic material. However, one cannot take advantage of
its properties at temperatures higher than the room temperature where Gd loses the …

There is renewed interest in rare-earth elements and gadolinium in particular for a range of
studies in coupling physics and applications. However, it is still apparent that synthesis …

Magnetic properties of sputtered Gd thin films grown on Si (100) substrates kept at two
different temperatures were investigated using X-ray diffraction, ac magnetic susceptibility …

Despite being the most suitable candidates for solenoid pole pieces in state-of-the-art
superconductor-based electromagnets, the intrinsic magnetic properties of heavy rare earth …

Abstract 50 nm thick nanogranular polycrystalline dysprosium thin films have been prepared
via ultra-high vacuum direct-current sputtering on SiO 2 and Si wafers. The maximum in …

Abstract 200 nm Gd films were prepared on Si (1 0 0) wafers under different conditions
[substrate temperature (TS) and bias voltage on the substrate (prior to deposition)] to study …

We measured nuclear forward scattering spectra utilizing the Ru 99 transition, 89.571 (3)
keV, with a notably mixed E 2/M 1 multipolarity. The extension of the standard evaluation …

Gadolinium (Gd) metal is of great interest in applications such as contrast-enhanced MRI
and magnetic cooling. However, it is generally difficult to produce oxide-free and highly …

Abstract Superlattices of Gd/GdN were grown on silicon substrates with different thickness
ratio between nanolayers of Gd and GdN. Films were characterized through XRD, XPS and …
