Plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition of nickel nanotubes with low resistivity and coherent magnetization dynamics for 3D spintronics

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Dirk Grundler, Julien Gay, Simon Robert Escobar Steinvall, Maria Carmen Giordano

We report plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (ALD) to prepare conformal nickel thin films and nanotubes by using nickelocene as a precursor, water as the oxidant agent and an in-cycle plasma enhanced reduction step with hydrogen. The optimized ALD pul ...

Thermodynamic re-assessment of the Zn–P binary system

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Elias Zsolt Stutz, Mahdi Zamani, Simon Robert Escobar Steinvall

Thermodynamic phase diagrams are the cornerstones to develop synthesis of new materials. Zinc phosphide has evolved into a prospective semicontuctor for next generation solar cells, thanks to its abundance and functional properties. Here we derive an optim ...
