AbstractIn-plane magnetic anisotropy can be induced in Cr-underlayer/Co-alloy thin films by grooves or scratches in the substrate. To quantify this effect, silica substrates have been prepared with large areas of submicron grooves using interferometric lithography. The growth of Cr films and Cr/Co-alloy bilayer films on these substrates has been investigated, and in-plane magnetic anisotropy has been observed.

ABSTRACTThis paper studies the effects of bilayer thickness and chromium content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of nanolayered TiAlN/CrN thin films. By rotation of samples holder and control of targets activity, a variety of multilayers and chemically modulated thin films were grown on WC-Co substrates using cathodic arc PVD. Conventional and high resolution TEM showed that aluminum contributes to refinement of structure while chromium favors the formation of coarse columnar morphology. Consequently, TiAlN layers periodically interrupt the formation of columns in CrN layers in multilayer films, while in chemically modulated samples the columns are not interrupted leading thus to the formation of strongly columnar films. Both Cr content and bilayer thickness contribute to hardness enhancement. Effect of Cr arises from the formation of hard fcc-(CrAl)N phase to the detriment of softer wurtzite-like hcp-AlN. The contribution of bilayer thickness is explained by the grain refinement based on Hall-Petch effect and the formation of highly stressed columnar structures with (111) preferred orientation. Such structural modifications strongly influence crack modes and morphologies as observed using AFM and FIB cross-section of indents. Thin bilayer films exhibit well-organized straight cracks parallel to the contact edge between indenter and film, while large bilayer films show a network of discontinuous irregular mud cracks attributed to grain boundary sliding. Refinement of structure favours crack meandering and branching that prevents the propagation of large cracks with more dramatic effects.

ABSTRACTPreviously, we reported that the viscosity of a polymer film can be measured in situ by observing the liquid-liquid dewetting of polymer bilayer films. In this study, we use the technique to investigate the effect of film thickness and surface interactions on the effective viscosity of polymer thin films. We found that the effective viscosity increases dramatically with decreasing the film thickness. We attribute this to the pinning of the polymer chains at the strongly interacting polymer/Silicon interface.

The study of the formation of the Cu6Sn5 intermetallic compound in Sn(55nm)/Cu(30nm) thin bilayer films was carried out directly in the column of a transmission electron microscope (electron diffraction mode) by heating the film sample from room temperature to 300 °C and recording the electron diffraction patterns. The thin films formed as a result of a solid state reaction were monophase and consisted of the η-Cu6Sn5 hexagonal phase. The temperature range for the formation of the η-Cu6Sn5 phase was determined. The estimate of the effective interdiffusion coefficient of the reaction suggests that the main mechanism for the formation of the Cu6Sn5 intermetallic is diffusion along the grain boundaries and dislocations.

Thin films of topological insulator (TI) Bi2Se3 were grown onto the surfaces of FeSe2 layers of different thicknesses on Si (100) substrates by magnetron sputtering, forming bilayer films with smooth surface. Magnetic and transport measurements indicate ferromagnetism in these bilayer samples. Large coercive fields at low-temperatures and a room-temperature magnetic order were observed. Moreover, nonsaturated high-filed linear magnetoresistance (MR) and weak anti-localization effect were found in these bilayer thin films. These results indicate that the bilayer samples could have both strong spin–orbit coupling and ferromagnetic proximity effect, which are the desired features.

FeSex/Bi2Se3 bilayer thin films were grown by RF magnetron sputtering on silicon substrates with different thicknesses of Bi2Se3 and the structural, morphological and magnetic properties were investigated. FeSex/Bi2Se3 bilayer films had Bi2Se3 crystallites oriented with c-axis perpendicular to the film plane, and exhibited weak ferromagnetism at low temperature due to the ferromagnetic FeSe2. The thickness of Bi2Se3 layer affected both crystalline structure of Fe–Se layer and the magnetic property.
