Growth of epitaxial thin Pd(1 1 1) films on Pt(1 1 1) and oxygen-terminated FeO(1 1 1) surfaces

Thin Pd films (1-10 monolayers, ML) were deposited at 35 K on a Pt(1 1 1) single crystal and on an oxygen-terminated FeO(1 1 1) monolayer supported on Pt(1 1 1). Low energy electron diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, and Kr and CO temperature programmed desorption techniques were used to investigate the annealing induced changes in the film surface morphology. For growth on Pt(1 1 1), the films order upon annealing to 500 K and form epitaxial Pd(1 1 1). Further annealing above 900 K results in Pd diffusion into the Pt(1 1 1) bulk and Pt-Pd alloy formation. Chemisorption of CO shows that even the first ordered monolayer of Pd on Pt(1 1 1) has adsorption properties identical to bulk Pd(1 1 1). Similar experiments conducted on FeO(1 1 1) indicate that 500 K annealing of a 10 ML thick Pd deposit also yields ordered Pd(1 1 1). In contrast, annealing of 1 and 3 ML thick Pd films did not result in formation of continuous Pd(1 1 1). We speculate that for these thinner films Pd diffuses underneath the FeO(1 1 1).     

Investigation of the local structure and the effects of the orbit reduction factor on the EPR g-factors for octahedral (CrO6) cluster in TiO2:Cr and MgO:Cr systems

A theoretical method for studying the inter-relation between electronic and molecular structure has been proposed based on the complete energy matrices for a d³ configuration ion in a tetragonal ligand-field. By means of this method, the local structure for Cr³⁺ ion doped in oxides TiO₂ (anatase) and MgO has been determined. The calculated results indicate that the local structure of the (CrO₆)⁹⁻ cluster in TiO₂:Cr³⁺ and MgO:Cr³⁺ systems exists as a compressed distortion relative to the regular octahedron. Meanwhile, the dependence of the EPR zero-field splitting parameter D on the local structure parameter ΔR (ΔR=R₁−R₂) has been revealed. In addition, the relation between the EPR g-factors (g,g,Δg) and the orbit reduction factor k has been discussed for the two systems, suggesting that the orbit reduction factor k is very important to understand the EPR g-factors.     

Tunable magnetic properties of arrays of Fe(1 1 0) nanowires grown on kinetically grooved W(1 1 0) self-organized templates

We report a detailed magnetic study of a new type of self-organized nanowires discussed briefly previously [B. Borca et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 90 (2007) 142507]. The templates, prepared on sapphire wafers in a kinetically limited regime, consist of uniaxially grooved W(1 1 0) surfaces, with a lateral period here tuned to 15 nm. Fe deposition leads to the formation of (1 1 0) 7 nm-wide wires located at the bottom of the grooves. The effect of capping layers (Mo, Pd, Au, Al) and underlayers (Mo, W) on the magnetic anisotropy of the wires was studied. Significant discrepancies with figures known for thin flat films are evidenced and discussed in terms of step anisotropy and strain-dependent surface anisotropy. Demagnetizing coefficients of cylinders with a triangular isosceles cross-section have also been calculated, to estimate the contribution of dipolar anisotropy. Finally, the dependence of magnetic anisotropy with the interface element was used to tune the blocking temperature of the wires, here from 50 to 200 K.     

The RATIO method for time‐resolved Laue crystallography

A RATIO method for analysis of intensity changes in time‐resolved pump–probe Laue diffraction experiments is described. The method eliminates the need for scaling the data with a wavelength curve representing the spectral distribution of the source and removes the effect of possible anisotropic absorption. It does not require relative scaling of series of frames and removes errors due to all but very short term fluctuations in the synchrotron beam.     

Surface reconstruction of clean bcc-Fe{1 1 0}: A quasi-hexagonal top-layer with periodic height modulation

Hexagonal-pillar shaped pure Fe single crystal whiskers with six {1 1 0} side planes were obtained by means of chemical vapor deposition. Atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy images obtained on the {1 1 0} surface showed a quasi-hexagonal atomic array with mesoscopic-range periodic height modulation of about 1/3 of an atomic step. This height modulation was found to be a result of an interference between the quasi-hexagonal top-layer and the sub-surface bcc-Fe{1 1 0} layer. Unit vectors of the mesoscopic-range modulation turned out to be expressed as , where and are the primitive vectors of the two-dimensional atomic array in the top-layer and those in the sub-surface layer, respectively. The two-dimensional density of atoms in the top-layer is slightly higher by 0.46% than that in the sub-surface layer.     

Graphs with Branchwidth at Most Three

In this paper we investigate both the structure of graphs with branchwidth at most three, as well as algorithms to recognise such graphs. We show that a graph has branchwidth at most three if and only if it has treewidth at most three and does not contain the three-dimensional binary cube graph as a minor. A set of four graphs is shown to be the obstruction set for the class of graphs with branchwidth at most three. Moreover, we give a safe and complete set of reduction rules for the graphs with branchwidth at most three. Using this set, a linear time algorithm is given that verifies if a given graph has branchwidth at most three, and, if so, outputs a minimum width branch decomposition.     

Numerical detection of symmetry breaking bifurcation points with nonlinear degeneracies

A numerical tool for the detection of degenerated symmetry breaking bifurcation points is presented. The degeneracies are classified and numerically processed on -D restrictions of the bifurcation equation. The test functions that characterise each of the equivalence classes are constructed by means of an equivariant numerical version of the Liapunov-Schmidt reduction. The classification supplies limited qualitative information concerning the imperfect bifurcation diagrams of the detected bifurcation points.
