  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
