Magnetic anisotropy field of (110) Fe∕Co superlattices was found to be as high as 1T, with an in-plane easy axis. First principles calculations within the local spin density approximation show good agreement with the measurement. Lowering the symmetry by creating artificial superlattice structures leads to a significa…

Porous Si with perfect long range order (mm2 scale) was obtained using an integrated mask of ordered anodic aluminum oxide (AAO). This represents an increase of many orders of magnitude in the ordered domain size compared with porous Si made with self-assembled AAO masks. Here, master stamps composed of silicon nitrid…

The authors studied the thermoelectric properties of LaPdSb and GdPdSb. The values of the thermoelectric power were positive and relatively large (60–100μV∕K). The values of the electrical resistivity were on the order of 10−4Ωcm, which is unexpectedly low in view of the large values observed for the thermoelectric po…

Abstract Summary: It is well known that poly(propylene)/clay (PP/clay) nanocomposite forms an exfoliated structure when mixed with maleic anhydride‐functionalized polypropylene (MAPP). This can be easily achieved by melt processing, however, the use of functionalized chemicals like MAPP costs a lot preventing its comm…
