Published 1992Staff ViewISSN: 1089-7550Source: AIP Digital ArchiveTopics: PhysicsNotes: We estimate the phonon mean-free path (mfp) in YBa2Cu3O7−δ by performing a theoretical fitting procedure on bulk single-crystal data. This analysis indicates that the mfps of the phonons that are most responsible for the transport of heat are much longer than would be predicted from kinetic theory. These values are incorporated into a recently proposed treatment of the size effect to provide an estimate of the thermal conductivity of YBa2Cu3O7−δ films.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1991Staff ViewISSN: 1089-7550Source: AIP Digital ArchiveTopics: PhysicsNotes: We explore the relationship between interface structure and magnetic anisotropy in three types of Co-based superlattices: Cohcp-Au; Cofcc-Cu; and Cohcp-Cr, grown epitaxially on GaAs(110). For very thin layers of Co, Co-Au, and Co-Cu superlattices exhibit a perpendicular easy axis due to magnetoelastic contributions to the anisotropy energy. The magnetic anisotropy in Co-Cr is found to be strongly dependent on growth conditions. At slow deposition rates of Co the interface between Co and Cr becomes diffuse as is evidenced by a low saturation moment and a shift toward perpendicular anisotropy whereas samples with abrupt interfaces show predominantly parallel anisotropy. The Cr layers grow in a metastable hcp phase which appears to be paramagnetic. The results illustrate the influence of the heterointerface on magnetic properties.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1991Staff ViewISSN: 1077-3118Source: AIP Digital ArchiveTopics: PhysicsNotes: We report the results of the first time-resolved observation of impulsively generated coherent optical phonon oscillations in the semiconducting cuprate compound YBa2Cu3O6+x (x〈0.4). The oscillations, which were probed through time-resolved transmissivity modulation, had a period of 237 fs at room temperature, corresponding to a Raman active mode of A1g symmetry at 142 cm−1. No oscillations were observed in the superconducting form of Y-Ba-Cu-O either above or below Tc. The amplitude, frequency, and linewidth of this mode were measured over a temperature range from ∼7 K to room temperature.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1991Staff ViewISSN: 1077-3118Source: AIP Digital ArchiveTopics: PhysicsNotes: By depositing a buffer layer of Al2O3 on GaAs, we have been able to laser ablate a superconducting film of Y1Ba2Cu3O7−x overtop. The onset of superconductivity is 92 K and zero resistance is observed at 80 K in a structure with a suitably annealed Al2O3 film which is converted to AlGaO3. Both the Al2O3-GaAs and the Al2O3-Y1Ba2Cu3O7−x interfaces are remarkably well preserved with virtually no interdiffusion or interaction. The Al2O3 or homolog AlGaO3 film also prevents decomposition of the GaAs at the deposition temperature of 730 °C.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1990Staff ViewISSN: 1077-3118Source: AIP Digital ArchiveTopics: PhysicsNotes: We report the results of femtosecond optical transient absorption experiments performed on 〈m1;&1p〉the superconducting compounds YBa2Cu3O7−x(x ∼ 0) and Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+δ(δ ∼ 0) and nonsuperconducting YBa2Cu3O6+y(y〈0.4) for sample temperatures ranging from ∼7 K to room temperature. Nonequilibrium heating was found to occur on a subpicosecond time scale. A distinct, dramatic increase in the relaxation time was observed for the superconducting samples as the sample temperature was lowered below the critical temperatures of the respective films. Accompanying the increase in relaxation time was an increase in the peak fractional transmissivity change. No such changes were observed for the nonsuperconducting YBCO sample. We believe the above described behavior is electronic in origin and intimately related to the superconductivity of the compounds.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1993Staff ViewISSN: 1077-3118Source: AIP Digital ArchiveTopics: PhysicsNotes: The influence of grain boundary scattering of lattice waves in high quality diamond films has been determined by the measurement of thermal conductivity down to 0.15 K. We find that the mean free path for lattice vibrations (phonons) exceeds substantially the crystallite size and approaches the physical size of the sample. This implies that a significant transmission of phonons occurs between the grains of these polycrystalline diamond materials.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1999Staff ViewISSN: 1077-3118Source: AIP Digital ArchiveTopics: PhysicsNotes: Epitaxial growth techniques are used to impose in-plane magnetocrystalline anisotropy on a spin-polarized tunneling configuration. A Cu(100) buffer layer grown on a Si(100) substrate stabilizes epitaxial face-centered-cubic cobalt as one of the ferromagnetic electrodes. The negative magnetocrystalline constant of this metastable phase favors easy axes along Co 〈110〉 and, due to the single crystal nature of this layer, the coercivity is more than an order of magnitude larger than in the polycrystalline layers which form the second electrode. Our approach provides a way to access the high degree of spin polarization characteristic of the 3d transition metals. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 2000Staff ViewISSN: 1077-3118Source: AIP Digital ArchiveTopics: PhysicsNotes: We report an in situ study of the molecular-beam epitaxy growth and annealing of Cu(001) films grown on hydrogen-terminated Si(001) substrates, resulting in a promising approach to achieve smooth epitaxial morphology. Using correlated reflection high-energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy data, we find a temperature interval below the onset of silicide formation where a dramatic smoothening of the epitaxial Cu surfaces occurs. Our measurements indicate that a reduction in roughness is possible in this regime because the annealing is controlled by lateral diffusion kinetics. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1990Staff ViewISSN: 1089-7550Source: AIP Digital ArchiveTopics: PhysicsNotes: The physical and electromagnetic properties of Y-Ba-Cu-O superconductors synthesized with BaO2 (barium peroxide) have been studied. A comparison of reactions with BaCO3 and BaO indicates that the peroxide promotes formation and strong alignment of platelet grains in planes normal to the c axis, yields material with larger grain sizes and aspect ratios, reduces the synthesis reaction time by over half, increases the volume fraction of material that goes superconducting (Meissner effect), and facilitates metallic conduction in the normal state. Critical current densities of 1.1×104 A/cm2 at 77 K have been observed in peroxide-synthesized material. These beneficial effects may be due to the low melting temperature of BaO2 (450 °C), and the elimination of residual unreacted BaCO3, BaO, and/or C.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1089-7550Source: AIP Digital ArchiveTopics: PhysicsNotes: We report on the electrical resistance and time-dependent oxidation of thin ((approximately-less-than)90 A(ring)) semicontinuous bismuth films. An increase in the room temperature sheet resistance with exposure to air is correlated with the growth of insulating Bi2O3 at the surfaces and internal boundaries between bismuth particles. For short oxidation times t, the resistance increases as R(D'Alembertian) ∝t1/2, consistent with a parabolic oxide growth law. At longer times the resistance follows the classical percolation law R(D'Alembertian)∝||tc−t||−μ, where tc is a critical exposure time and μ(approximately-equal-to)1.3 is a critical exponent for two-dimensional systems.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -
