Probe Microscope

Magnetostructural transition was observed in Ni-Mn-In-Cr Heusler alloy with help of Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM). The crystal structure of a sample and characteristic temperatures of the phase transition were controlled by roentgenostructural phase analysis and magnetometry, respectively. It appeared prominently important to prepare the surface of the sample until the nanometer level of surface roughness. Magnetic study performed with scanning probe microscope revealed existence of magnetic domains, which were spread across the surface evenly. Further studies revealed that intensity of magnetic signal decreases as fading out of the contrast of the MFM images. It was found that location of domains shifted after the heating/cooling cycle above Curie temperature for the studied alloy. Location of new domain walls appeared correlating with surface scrapings and defects, whilst it became independent from those after heating until just 70°C. The mechanism behind the observed transition is proposed.

Abstract The electric conductivities of molten mixtures of aluminum chloride-butylpyridinium chloridecobalt chloride (AlCl3-BPC-CoCl2) were measured using a computerized direct-current method. The conductivities of all the melts increased with increasing temperature. The electrodeposition of Co/Al films from the AlCl3-BPC melt containing a small amount of CoCl2 has been studied by cyclic voltammetry. Compact and smooth Co/Al thin films could be obtained at a deposition potential of −0.4 V. The surface morphology and the composition of the electrodeposited thin films were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The magnetic properties of the deposited thin films have been investigated via magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Higher magnetization and smooth domains of Co/Al layers could be obtained at the deposition potentials of −0.1 V and −0.4 V, respectively.

Laser Ablation Technique

Optical and magneto-optical properties of GaMnSb layers fabricated on GaAs (001) substrates by laser ablation technique were studied using spectral ellipsometry (E =1.24-3.25 eV) and the transversal Kerr effect (TKE) (E = 0.5 4.2 eV) as well as atomic and magnetic force microscopy. Spectra of the constituents of the diagonal components of the permittivity tensor as well as TKE depended substantially on the layer fabrication conditions. At room temperature a strong resonant band was observed in the TKE spectra for the GaMnSb layers with low Mn content in the energy range E 0.5-1.5 eV. This resonant TKE band was explained by excitation of surface plasmons in MnSb nanoclusters, which arose during the growth of the layers. In the energy region E >1.5 eV the TKE spectra were related to interband transitions in MnSb inclusions.

Comprehensive Study

A comprehensive study of the structure and phase composition, magnetostrictive and magnetic properties of the (Sm0.5R0.5)Fe2 (R = Gd, Tb) compounds was performed. The effect of partial replacement of samarium by gadolinium and terbium on the microstructure of the surface, the temperature of phase transitions, the magnitude of magnetostrictive deformations and magnetization was studied. Using atomic force and magnetic force microscopy, the surface topology at the micro and nanoscale was established, and information on the magnetic domain structure at room temperature was obtained.
