Phonon density of states in Tb/Fe multilayers

Magnetization depth profile of (Fe/Dy) multilayers

“…The perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in (TM/RE) multilayers has been studied very intensively for several decades [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], but its origin is still controversial. Since Tb has the largest local anisotropy constant, most of the studies have been devoted to (Fe/Tb) multilayers.…”

Atomic vibrational density of states in crystalline and amorphous Tb1 xFexalloy thin films studied by nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (NRIXS)

“…This resonant isotope projected 'partial' VDOS is a key quantity from which important thermodynamic properties may be deduced [5]. NRIXS has opened the domain of lattice dynamics in thin film, interface and multilayer research [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Vibrational dynamics of Fe in amorphous Fe–Sc and Fe–Al alloy thin films

“…The existence of such excess vibrational excitations in different bulk materials [8] and in particular in metallic glasses [9] was revealed by earlier inelastic neutron scattering results. More recently, nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (NRIXS) of synchrotron radiation at 57 Fe nuclei has been used to measure the boson peak via ferrocene probe molecules matrixisolated in various bulk organic glasses [3], and in various amorphous binary alloy thin-film systems [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. A systematic NRIXS investigation of vapor-quenched amorphous (a-) Fe x Tb 1−x [16] and a-Fe x Mg 1−x [18] alloy thin films was reported recently.…”

“…The VDOS is a fundamental quantity from which important thermodynamic properties may be deduced [26][27][28][29]. Because only small quantities of materials are needed, NRIXS has opened the field of lattice dynamics in thin film, interface and multilayer research [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]30]. …”
