X-ray absorption and magnetic circular dichroism characterization of a novel ferromagnetic MnNx phase in Mn/Si3N4 multilayers (2008)
Journal Article
Céspedes, E., Huttel, Y., Martínez, L., de Andrés, A., Chaboy, J., Vila, M., …Prieto, C. (2008). X-ray absorption and magnetic circular dichroism characterization of a novel ferromagnetic MnNx phase in Mn/Si3N4 multilayers. Applied Physics Letters, 93(25), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3050534

Ferromagnetism above room temperature has been observed in multilayered films for the first time. Characterization of the structural and electronic properties was performed to study the ferromagnetic behavior of this system. X-ray absorption spect...

Evidence of local moment formation in Co-based Heusler alloys (2008)
Journal Article
Telling, N. D., Keatley, P. S., van der Laan, G., Hicken, R. J., Arenholz, E., Sakuraba, Y., …Miyazaki, T. Evidence of local moment formation in Co-based Heusler alloys. Physical review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, 78(18), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.78.184438

We examine the formation of local moments in Heusler alloys of the composition Co2MnZ (where Z=Si or Al) using the combined techniques of x-ray magnetic circular and linear dichroism. The existence of local moments in half-metallic Heusler alloys i... Read More about Evidence of local moment formation in Co-based Heusler alloys.

THE OXIDATION STATE OF COPPER AND COBALT IN CARROLLITE, CuCo2S4 (2008)
Journal Article
Pattrick, R. A., Coker, V. S., Pearce, C. I., Telling, N. D., & van der Laan, G. (2008). THE OXIDATION STATE OF COPPER AND COBALT IN CARROLLITE, CuCo2S4. Canadian Mineralogist, 46(5), 1317-1322. https://doi.org/10.3749/canmin.46.5.1317

Using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Cu L2,3 and Co L2,3 edges, we demonstrate that the valence state of copper in the thiospinel carrollite (CuCo2S4) is Cu+ with a d count of Cu d9.8. The Co has a d count of d6.4, so that the highly cova... Read More about THE OXIDATION STATE OF COPPER AND COBALT IN CARROLLITE, CuCo2S4.

Interface alloying effects in the magnetic properties of Fe nanoislands capped with different materials (2008)
Journal Article
Huttel, Y., Navarro, E., Telling, N. D., van der Laan, G., Pigazo, F., Palomares, F. J., …Cebollada, A. Interface alloying effects in the magnetic properties of Fe nanoislands capped with different materials. Physical review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, 78(10), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.78.104403

We show that Fe nanoislands capped with Al, Pd, and Pt protecting layers include an alloy at the interface with the capping layer, which explains the previously known capping layer dependence on the interparticle magnetic coupling. Vibrating sample m... Read More about Interface alloying effects in the magnetic properties of Fe nanoislands capped with different materials.
