  • Local structure and magnetic properties of B2- and B20-like ultrathin Mn films grown on Si(001) 

    Kahwaji, S., R. A. Gordon, E. D. Crozier, and T. L. Monchesky. 2012. "Local structure and magnetic properties of B2- and B20-like ultrathin Mn films grown on Si(001)." Physical Review B (Condensed Matter and Materials Physics) 85(1): 0144059. doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.85.014405
    The structural and magnetic properties of ultrathin Mn layers deposited onto Si(001) by molecular beam epitaxy at low temperature are reported. X-ray absorption fine structure studies reveal that the structure of the ...
  • Magnetic properties of Co/GaAs(110) 

    Monchesky, T. L., and J. Unguris. 2006. "Magnetic properties of Co/GaAs(110)." Physical Review B (Condensed Matter and Materials Physics) 74(24): 241301-1. doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.74.241301
    We observed three magnetic states of an ultrathin, atomically well-ordered Co film grown on a cleaved GaAs(110) substrate. For a Co thickness less than 3.4 monolayers (ML), we find a ferromagnetically dead layer associated ...
  • Magnetoresistance and magnetic properties of Fe/Cu/Fe/GaAs(100) 

    Monchesky, T. L., B. Heinrich, R. Urban, K. Myrtle, et al. 1999. "Magnetoresistance and magnetic properties of Fe/Cu/Fe/GaAs(100)." Physical Review B (Condensed Matter) 60(14): 10242-51. doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.60.10242
    A procedure for growth of smooth As free Fe surfaces on (46)-GaAs(100) is presented. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) revealed that the Fe films have anisotropies equal to bulk Fe, modified only by interface anisotropies. The ...
  • Role of interfaces in the magnetoresistance of Au/Fe/Au/Fe multilayers 

    Weinberger, P., J. Zabloudil, R. H. Hammerling, L. Szunyogh, et al. 2003. "Role of interfaces in the magnetoresistance of Au/Fe/Au/Fe multilayers." Physical Review B (Condensed Matter and Materials Physics) 67(5): 54404-1. doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.67.054404
    By using the fully relativistic spin-polarized screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method and the corresponding Kubo-Greenwood equation resistivities and the giant magnetoresistance are evaluated for Fe/Au/Fe/Au spin valves ...
  • Spin-dependent transport in Fe and Fe/Au multilayers 

    Monchesky, T. L., A. Enders, R. Urban, K. Myrtle, et al. 2005. "Spin-dependent transport in Fe and Fe/Au multilayers." Physical Review B (Condensed Matter and Materials Physics) 71(21): 214440-1. doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.71.214440
    In situ resistance measurements of epitaxial Fe layers and Au/Fe bilayers were used to quantify the scattering in giant magnetoresistance (GMR) spin valve structures. The semiclassical Boltzmann transport equation, ...
  • Structure and magnetic properties of MnSi epitaxial thin films 

    Karhu, E., S. Kahwaji, T. L. Monchesky, C. Parsons, et al. 2010. "Structure and magnetic properties of MnSi epitaxial thin films." Physical Review B (Condensed Matter and Materials Physics) 82(18): 18441711. doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.82.184417
    We report on the correlation between the magnetic and structural properties of epitaxial MnSi (111) thin films grown by solid-phase epitaxy on Si (111) substrates. The Si (111) substrate, with a surface unit cell that is ...
