Magnetisation and Hydrogenation of Mg/Ni Multilayers

100%
EN
In this contribution we have studied magnetisation of Mg/Ni multilayers (MLs) to characterise the alloing effect near interfaces. The layered structure was characterised by standard X-ray diffraction. The MLs were deposited by UHV magnetron sputtering onto naturally oxidised Si(100) substrates. Results showed, that due to Mg-Ni alloy formation near interfaces the magnetizations of the MLs were strongly reduced. Effective "dead" Ni layer thickness was estimated as 1.2 nm at room temperature (RT). Furthermore, hydrogen absorption kinetics at a pressure of about 1000 mbar was studied at RT in Pd covered Mg/Ni MLs using four-point resistivity measurements. Results showed that the fastest initial rise in resistance in the first 9 s was observed for d_{Ni}=3.5 nm.

We study the valence band modifications of in-situ prepared nano- and polycrystalline Pd-Zr alloy thin films using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results were compared with valence bands calculated by ab initio methods. Furthermore, hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics under pressure of about 570 mbar were studied in Pd covered nanocrystalline ZrPd₂ alloy thin film. Results showed that modifications of the valence band of the nanocrystalline alloy thin film could significantly influence on hydrogen absorption and desorption process.

Oxidation process of Fe films under atmospheric conditions is depth limited such that an oxide covering layer with a well-defined thickness is formed by which the underlying metal is prevented from further oxidation. Iron thin film with an initial thickness d_{i}=4 nm was deposited onto 1.6 nm - V(110) buffer layer using UHV magnetron sputtering. The planar growth of Fe oxides was revealed by atomic force microscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies performed after 250 days of oxidation revealed formation of a hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) ultrathin film on the metallic rest of iron. Furthermore, low temperature magnetic measurements of the oxidised Fe ultrathin film revealed an exchange anisotropy which is imposed to the metallic rest. As a result, we have observed at low temperatures a shift and broadening of the hysteresis loops due to the exchange interaction at the metal-oxide interface.

Natural Oxidation of thin Fe Films on V Buffer Layer

EN
We have studied oxidation kinetics of Fe thin film under atmospheric conditions using the fact that metallic iron is a ferromagnet but ultrathin natural iron oxides are approximately nonmagnetic at room temperature. As a consequence, oxidation is associated with a loss in total Fe magnetic moment. Results show that the sample with an initial Fe thickness equal to 10 nm oxidize relatively fast (time constant τ=0.05 day), whereby a constant amount of 2.5 nm of metal is transformed into oxides. For lower iron initial thickness (d_{i}=4 nm) the time constant for oxidation significantly increases reaching a value of 2 days. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies performed after 144 days of oxidation revealed formation of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) thin film on the metallic rest of iron.
