N~+注入修复外延Fe膜面内六重磁对称

为了研究离子注入对外延磁性薄膜面内磁各向异性的影响,用离子加速器对在有错切角的Si(111)面上外延生长的Fe膜进行了N~+注入实验.随着N~+注入剂量的增加,外延生长的Fe膜的面内磁各向异性逐渐从二重对称改变为六重对称.通过透射电子显微镜和刻蚀实验验证,发现离子辐照改变了Fe膜表面和界面的状态.未辐照Fe膜面内二重磁对称来自于由于Si(111)面的错切使得在薄膜界面和表面处形成的原子台阶.N~+注入的溅射作用使得Fe膜表面的原子台阶被擦除,N~+注入使得缓冲层和Fe膜界面处相互扩散导致界面处原子台阶消失.因此,外延Fe膜在大剂量N~+注入后表现出Fe(111)面诱导的六重磁对称.研究结果对于提高面内磁记录密度有潜在的应用价值.

纳米复合永磁材料中软磁性相交换硬化的研究

本文就纳米复合永磁材料中软磁相被交换硬化问题,从一维模型和三维模拟计算进行了分析研究. 一维和三维各向异性样品研究表明,在相同微结构下,当硬磁相的各向异性降低时,除矫顽力降低外,在磁矩全部反转之前退磁曲线是一样的. 因此,硬磁相各向异性的降低不会导致最大磁能积(BH)_max增大和剩磁增加. 对于三维各向同性样品的模拟计算表明,降低硬磁相的各向异性会使剩磁和(BH)_max都明显降低. 因此,增强硬磁相的各向异性并增大硬磁相晶粒尺寸是提高 关键词： 纳米复合永磁 矫顽力 剩磁 磁能积     

Electrochemical SHG at a Ag (111) single-crystal electrode using the hanging meniscus configuration

We combine in situ electrochemical second-harmonic generation (SHG) with voltammetry measurements using the hanging meniscus configuration. This setup is used to investigate the interface between a Ag (111) electrode and an alkaline electrolyte. The study offers a new in situ insight into the electrochemical processes at the Ag (111) electrode during OH adsorption and subsequent oxidation. The behavior of SHG isotropic and anisotropic contributions as a function of potential is discussed and related to the interfacial electric field. Comparison of the results with previous investigations of the Ag underpotential oxidation in alkaline solutions shows that submonolayer oxidation is followed by bulk oxidation.

Second-harmonic generation spectroscopy on quantum wells: Au on Si(111)

×):Au-structure prior to film growth leads to increased amplitude in the oscillations indicating improved growth characteristics compared to the 7×7 substrate. The position of the maxima shifts towards lower coverage and the oscillation period decreases with increasing pump frequency. This behaviour is an unambiguous signature of quantum well resonances and, hence, clearly demonstrates that Au deposition on Si(111)(×):Au leads to well-defined quantum well structures with atomically flat interfaces. Furthermore, the rotationally anisotropic contribution to SHG also shows coverage oscillations as a result of quantum well effects and demonstrates the presence of structural order.

Nonlinear optical spectroscopy of suboxides at oxidized Si(111) interfaces

Native oxidation of the Si(111)(1 x 1)H surface causes the appearance and disappearance of second-harmonic generation (SHG) resonances related to specific bonding configurations of Si atoms at the interface. Resonances at 3.52 eV two-photon energy observed in p-polarized SHG spectra are indicative of a Si suboxide configuration present in a partially oxidized Si surface bilayer. Similar resonances are observed in spectra of thermally oxidized Si(111) and point to Si2+ suboxide states at the buried interface.     

Second-harmonic generation at the surface of cubic ionic crystals

The strength of the different source terms in the isotropic Second Harmonic (SH) response of the surface has been measured in different ionic crystals LiF, NaF, GGG(Gadolinium-Gallium-Garnet), and MgF₂, using as excitation beam the fundamental output of a Nd:YAG laser (1.06 m). The azimuthal dependences of the optical second-harmonic generation has also been measured at the LiF(100), LiF(111), GGG(100), and GGG(111) surfaces. No experimental evidence of a bulk contribution to the anisotropic part of the nonlineau polarization has been observed.     

On the lowering of the electronic energy in model insulators due to surface reconstruction

Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, piezoresistance, Hall mobility, and transverse “Hall” field due to mobility anisotropy have been studied on n-channel (111) Si inversion layers. The valley degeneracy was found to be 2 between 1.7 and 300 K. Under uniaxial mechanical stress the initially isotropic conductivity became strongly anisotropic. All results can be described by the existence of domains in the inversion layer.     

Asymmetric distribution of surface second harmonic generation for thin silver films deposited on Si(111)

The asymmetric distributions of surface optical second harmonic generation (SHG) through azimuthally angular scans of (111) silicon wafers on which thin silver films were deposited, have been detected with different polarizations of output beams. On account of the inversion symmetry of silicon crystals, the SHG for the Ag/Si system is mainly contributed by the silver film and the silicon surface. In this work, we found that the interface strain implies an asymmetric intensity variation of SHG with respect to the surface azimuthal angles as an ultra thin Ag film is deposited on silicon wafers. This asymmetric behavior is prominent as the deposited silver layer is heated so that the continuous film aggregates to become granular nanoparticles. Similar changes of the surface asymmetric SHG are observed for a bare Si wafer imposed upon by an external force.     

Nonlinear optical investigations of the dynamics of hydrogen interaction with silicon surfaces

Optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) from silicon surfaces may be resonantly enhanced by dangling-bond-derived surface states. The resulting high sensitivity to hydrogen adsorption combined with unique features of SHG as an optical probe has been exploited to study various kinetical and dynamical aspects of the adsorption system H₂/Si. Studies of surface diffusion of H/Si(111)7×7 and recombinative desorption of hydrogen from Si(111)7 × 7 and Si(100)2 × 1 revealed that the covalent nature of hydrogen bonding on silicon surfaces leads to high diffusion barriers and to desorption kinetics that strongly depend on the surface structure. Recently, dissociative adsorption of molecular hydrogen on Si(100)2×1 and Si(111)7×7 could be observed for the first time by heating the surfaces to temperatures between 550 K and 1050 K and monitoring the SH response during exposure to a high flux of H₂ or D₂. The measured initial sticking coefficients for a gas temperature of 300K range from 10^–9 to 10^–5 and strongly increase as a function of surface temperature. These results demonstrate that the lattice degrees of freedom may play a decisive role in the reaction dynamics on semiconductor surfaces.     

Structural investigations of the Yb  Si(111) - 2x1, 5x1 and 3x1 overlayers

The YbSi interface has been investigated in the sub-monolayer regime employing Ion Scattering Spectroscopy (ISS), Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED). Three different structures, YbSi(111) 2x1, YbSi(111) 5x1, and YbSi(111) 3x1, have been established by heat treatments of the interfaces. The structures consist of a stable overlayer of Yb atoms on the Si(111) surfaces. The distance of the Yb atoms to the uppermost layer of Si atoms has been estimated by comparing the YbSi ISS intensity ratio with the predictions of a model based on classical scattering theory and a Thomas-Fermi-Moliére potential. The height of the Yb atoms relative to the substrate toplayer was found to be 1.9 ± 0.3→.     

A sensitive detection method for magnetization-induced second-harmonic generation under an externally applied field

We describe the instrumentation related to the first observation of magnetization-induced enhancement of surface second-harmonic generation (SHG) from the paramagnetic Si(111)-7×7 surfaces. A judicious choice of polarization and sample orientation enabled us to isolate the magnetic-field-dependent tensor element of the nonlinear susceptibility. A conductive liquid-nitrogen system, coupled to an ultrahigh-vacuum system that is immune to the high magnetic field of 10 T, cooled the sample to about 120 K. A high extinction that is necessary to detect the magnetization-induced SHG (MSHG) was accomplished by minimizing stray optical effects such as Faraday rotation, photoluminescence and thermal birefringence in all optical components, with extra care taken for the UHV window. Consistent and stable operation of this sensitive measurement system permitted experiments involving MSHG at multiple wavelengths and temperatures. Probing the magnetization-induced optical nonlinearity was validated by quenching the surface states by oxidation of the surface layers. From MSHG measurements at two wavelengths resonant with different surface-state transitions, we were able to suggest that the observed MSHG is proportional to the number of dangling bond states of Si(111)-7×7.
