We conducted a detailed study of the yellow luminescence (YL) band that has a maximum of 2.19eV at 10K in undoped and N-doped ZnO layers grown on sapphire substrates. Important characteristics of this band and the related defect are established. The YL band is attributed to a transition between a shallow donor and an…

We report on the influence of the improved L21 ordering degree on the magnetic properties of Co2MnSi Heusler films. Different fractions of the L21 phase are obtained by different postgrowth annealing temperatures ranging from 350 °C to 500 °C. Room temperature magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements reveal an increas…
