Influence of the stress on magnetoelectric effect in magnetostrictive-PZT bilayers

In this letter, we investigate the influence of the stress on magnetoelectric (ME) effect in a magnetostrictive-PZT bilayer. ME voltage coefficient α*_E = δE / δH, where δE is the induced electric field for an applied alternating current (ac) magnetic field δH, is obtained by solving the stress-related piezoelectric constitutive equation and the conventional magnetostrictive equation with appropriate boundary condition. Based on the free-energy density function of the PZT film in stress state, we get the stress-related piezoelectric charge coefficient ^p d*₃₁ and dielectric permittivity ^pε*₃₃. After taking the cobalt ferrite (CFO) as magnetostrictive phase, it is found that α*_E increases with decreasing 2-d compressive stress for CFO-PZT, which not only is qualitatively consistent with previous experimental measurements, but also provides a possible route to improve the ME effect.      

Improving nucleation in the fabrication of high-quality 3D macro-porous copper film through the surface-modification of a polystyrene colloid-assembled template

A new approach is developed to the fabrication of high-quality three-dimensional macro-porous copper films. A highly-ordered macroporous copper film is successfully produced on a polystyrene sphere (PS) template that has been modified by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). It is shown that this procedure can change a hydrophobic surface of PS template into a hydrophilic surface. The present study is devoted to the influence of the electrolyte solution transport on the nucleation process. It is demonstrated that the permeability of the electrolyte solution in the nanochannels of the PS template plays an important role in the chemical electrodeposition of high-quality macroporous copper film. The permeability is drastically enhanced in our experiment through the surface modification of the PS templates. The method could be used to homogeneously produce a large number of nucleations on a substrate, which is a key factor for the fabrication of the high-quality macroporous copper film.     

Investigation of the interaction of evaporated aluminum with vapor deposited Teflon AF films via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

The interfacial bonding and mixing between evaporated aluminum and a vapor deposited Teflon AF (abbreviated to AF) film have been investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Graphite carbon (C–C), and aluminum carbide (Al–C), oxide (Al–O–C) and fluoride (Al–F) are formed when aluminum atoms are deposited on to the AF film. With increasing deposition of aluminum, the concentrations of these newly formed components increase gradually. Moreover, in situ annealing results in remarkable increases in the C–C, Al–C, Al–O–C and Al–F configurations and a decrease in metallic aluminum. No significant diffusion of aluminum into the AF film was observed during the annealing. The Al compounds form a layer at the Al/AF interface that acts as an adhesion promoter and diffusion barrier.

Structural and magnetic properties of FePt films grown on Cr1-xMox underlayers

FePt films were deposited on Cr_1-xMo_x underlayers by dc magnetron sputtering. The effects of the Mo content in the underlayers, underlayer thickness, substrate temperature, and FePt film thickness on the structural and magnetic properties of the FePt films were studied. Experimental results showed that the (200) textured Cr₉₀Mo₁₀ film was a promising underlayer for promoting the growth of the L1₀ FePt films with (001) preferred orientation at relatively low temperatures. With the Cr₉₀Mo₁₀ underlayers, the ordering process of the FePt films could start at 200 °C. Both the ordering degree and the out-of-plane coercivity (H_c) of the FePt films increased with an increase in substrate temperature. When the substrate temperature was ≥250 °C, the FePt films grown on the Cr₉₀Mo₁₀ underlayers could have the (001) preferred orientation. The FePt films grown on the Cr₉₀Mo₁₀ underlayers at different temperatures showed a continuous microstructure. The out-of-plane coercivities H_c decreased while the ordering degree increased with increased FePt film thickness, which could be due to the variation of the magnetic reversal mechanism from rotation predominant mode to domain wall motion predominant mode.

Molecular dynamical study of the energy relaxation processes after heating the vibrational degree of freedom in a diatomic molecular crystal

Energy relaxation processes initiated by sudden heating of the vibrational degree of freedom were studied with molecular dynamical method. A unit cell of bee structure containing 128 diatomic molecules with periodic boundary conditions was considered. Compound Morse potential was assumed as the atom-atom interactions. It was found that the logarithra of the equilibration time depends linearly upon a factorf ₂₁ which is proportional to the frequency ratio of the intra- and inter-molecular vibrations. The project is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Ripening of single-layer InGaAs islands on GaAs（001）

The present paper discusses our investigation of InGaAs surface morphology annealed for different lengths of time.After annealing for 15 min,the ripening of InGaAs islands is completed.The real space scanning tunneling microscopy(STM) images show the evolution of InGaAs surface morphology.A half-terrace diffusion theoretical model based on thermodynamic theory is proposed to estimate the annealing time for obtaining flat morphology.The annealing time calculated by the proposed theory is in agreement with the experimental results.
