The structural and magnetic properties of MnSb layers grown on two differently oriented GaAs substrates are reported. The MnSb compounds grow nonhomogenously both on GaAs(111)B and on GaAs(100) substrates. In x-ray diffraction studies the formation of two epitaxial domains is observed depending on the crystallographic…

Creep tests were conducted on a nanocrystalline Cu at room temperature. The results at very low strain rates (<4×10−8 s−1) are consistent with Coble creep. An overall view of stress-strain rate behavior of this nanocrystalline Cu indicates that as the strain rate decreases, the deformation mechanism transition…

A simple strategy to improve the particle dispersion and structural ordering of magnetic nanoparticle/block copolymer composites is demonstrated. This method consists of manipulating both the block copolymer structure in a solvent and the relative interactions of particle/solvent and polymer/solvent to facilitate the…

In this article, we examine the initial polarization of PbTiO3 thin films grown epitaxially on SrRuO3 electrodes. It is found that the as-grown predominant polarization is directed toward the SrRuO3 bottom electrode in films thinner than 20 nm and directed toward the top surface in thicker films. The data is interpret…
