Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The epitaxial growth process and the presence of atomic steps can give rise to a natural lateral morphology in ultrathin metallic structures: for example pyramidal islands can develop and extended wires can be created on the nanoscale. The magnetic properties of transition metal structures will be studied in situ as they naturally evolve during epitaxial growth on single crystal surfaces using magneto-optic Kerr effect, gradient magnetometry and a novel technique based on in situ spin polarised electron transport. Structural characterisation will be carried out using RHEED and LEED.
