Thermal slip sources at the extremity and bevel edge of silicon wafers (2011)
Journal Article
Tanner, B., Wittge, J., Allen, D., Fossati, M., Danilwesky, A., McNally, P., …Jacques, D. (2011). Thermal slip sources at the extremity and bevel edge of silicon wafers. Journal of Applied Crystallography, 44(3), 489-494. https://doi.org/10.1107/s0021889811012088

High-resolution X-ray diffraction imaging of 200 mm silicon wafers following rapid thermal annealing at a temperature of 1270 K has revealed the presence of many early stage sources of thermal slip associated with the wafer edge. Dislocation sources... Read More about Thermal slip sources at the extremity and bevel edge of silicon wafers.

Spin polarization and exchange coupling of Cu and Mn atoms in paramagnetic CuMn diluted alloys induced by a Co layer (2010)
Journal Article
Abes, M., Atkinson, D., Tanner, B., Charlton, T., Langridge, S., Hase, T., …Lebegue, S. (2010). Spin polarization and exchange coupling of Cu and Mn atoms in paramagnetic CuMn diluted alloys induced by a Co layer. Physical review B, 82(18), Article 184412. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.82.184412

Using the surface, interface, and element specificity of x-ray resonant magnetic scattering in combination with x-ray magnetic circular dichroism, we have spatially resolved the magnetic spin polarization, and the associated interface proximity effec...

Ferromagnetism at the interfaces of antiferromagnetic FeRh epilayers (2010)
Journal Article
Fan, R., Kinane, C., Charlton, T., Dorner, R., Ali, M., de Vries, M., …Langridge, S. (2010). Ferromagnetism at the interfaces of antiferromagnetic FeRh epilayers. Physical review B, 82(18), Article 184418. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.82.184418

The nanoscale magnetic structure of FeRh epilayers has been studied by polarized neutron reflectometry. Epitaxial films with a nominal thickness of 500 Å were grown on MgO (001) substrates via molecular-beam epitaxy and capped with 20 Å of MgO. The F...

Layer and interface structural changes in Co0.6Fe0.2B0.2/AlOx multilayers on annealing (2010)
Journal Article
Pym, A., Ruhrig, M., & Tanner, B. (2010). Layer and interface structural changes in Co0.6Fe0.2B0.2/AlOx multilayers on annealing. Journal of Applied Physics, 107(9), Article 093524. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3366707

Sputtered multilayers of Co0.6Fe0.2B0.2 and AlOx have been measured using grazing incidence x-ray scattering to determine the changes in layer and interface structure during in situ annealing. We confirm our earlier deduction of a sharpening of the i... Read More about Layer and interface structural changes in Co0.6Fe0.2B0.2/AlOx multilayers on annealing.

Ferromagnetic resonance linewidth reduction in Fe/Au multilayers using ion beams (2008)
Journal Article
Bilzer, C., Devolder, T., Chappert, C., Plantevin, O., Suszka, A., Hickey, B., …Demokritov, S. (2008). Ferromagnetic resonance linewidth reduction in Fe/Au multilayers using ion beams. Journal of Applied Physics, 103(7), Article 07B518. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2839266

In order to optimize their magnetic properties, Fe/Au multilayers were treated by pregrowth and postgrowth ion-beam bombardments. The ferromagnetic resonance linewidth was used as our main figure of merit. The pregrowth treatment of the MgO substrate...
