ABSTRACTThe structures of equal-thickness Co/Re multilayer films and several Co/Re bilayer films have been investigated by X-ray diffraction at low and high angles. Analysis of low-angle reflectivity data from bilayer films indicates that interfacial intermixing is limited to three monolayers and that the two interfacial configurations are different. The high-angle X-ray diffraction data show that multilayer films have coherent interfaces and a highly textured structure with hep [002] orientations normal to the film plane for periods 21 Å ≤ Λ ≤220 Å. Detailed structures have been determined by fitting the X-ray spectra to calculated ones using a trapezoidal model. The results indicate that samples with 42 Å≤ Λ ≤220 Å have relatively sharp interfaces, in good agreement with the bilayer results. In addition, an out-of-plane expansion of the Co (002) layer is observed in samples with large Λ and results from structural disorder leading to a reduced atomic density. For Λ <21 Å the interfaces arise from the rougher surfaces of the deposited layers.

AbstractHigh-quality (ZnS)n(ZnSe)12n and (ZnSe)n(ZnTe)11n (n=1∼4) crystals were grown at a low temperature of 200°C by hydrogen radical-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. From satellite peaks in x-ray diffraction spectra, these periodic structure crystals were confirmed to be grown coherently on substrates, in spite of large lattice mismatches between the grown layers and the substrates (͛=4∼7%). In photoluminescence (PL) spectra of these films, strong band-edge emissions were predominantly observed, resulting from a suppression of deep-level emissions. We found that the PL peak energy of (ZnSe)n(ZnTe)11n shifts systematically to lower energy by 200 meV with changes in the number of ZnSe layers (n), while relatively small shift of 13 meV was observed in (ZnS)n(ZnSe)12n. These discrepancy can be attributed to the difference of band-lineups or chemical natures of constituent atoms in these crystals.

The effect of annealing temperature on the magnetic and giant magnetostriction (GMS) of [ Fe / Tb / Fe / Dy ]n multilayer films were investigated. X-ray diffraction showed that the multilayer films' microstructures were still in amorphous at annealing temperature 300°C. The multilayer films began to crystalline at annealing temperature 400°C. The saturation magnetization of multilayer films increased by the increasing annealed temperature. The coercivity first decreased at annealing temperature 300°C and then increased when the annealing temperature was higher than 400°C. The multilayer films had good low-field GMS, and the magnetostriction of the multilayer films increased by the increasing annealing temperature.

ABSTRACTIn order to investigate the influence of substrate functionalization on the subsequent selfassembly of multilayer films, multilayers composed of alternating hafnium and 1,10-decanediylbis(phosphonic) acid (DBPA) have been grown on three different substrates. Substrates studied include gold wafers functionalized with 4-mercaptobutylphosphonic acid, silicon wafers functionalized using a hafnium oxychloride solution, and silicon wafers coated with an octadecylphosphonate LB-template layer. The nature of these films is probed using ellipsometry and grazing angle x-ray diffraction. These studies indicate that the overall order and the individual layer thickness can vary substantially from sample to sample and depend strongly on the initial surface functionalization prior to multilayer growth.

AbstractThe interfacial structure of Pt/Nb and Pt/Ni sputtered multilayer films was studied using x-ray diffraction in symmetric, asymmetric, and grazing incidence modes. The grazing incidence and asymmetric diffraction were used to distinguish alloying effects on the lattice spacing from strain in the films. This strain was shown to be consistent with semi-coherent interfaces in the Pt/Ni but not in the Pt/Nb in which another strain generating mechanism dominates.
