The Growth and Characterisation of Mn2Au Thin Films and Heterostructures
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2023)In this thesis, Mn2Au thin films and heterostructures are grown via molecular beam epitaxy. Mn2Au thin films are investigated on MgO (001) and Al2O3 (1102) substrates, and on Pt (111) seed layer grown on an Al2O3 (0001) ... -
Novel Characterisation and Modelling Techniques for Spintronic Materials
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)Spintronic materials have the potential to revolutionise certain aspects of information technology. An ideal material for spintronics is a zero-moment half-metal (ZMHM), which exhibits no stray magnetic field but simultaneously ... -
Positive antiphase boundary domain wall magnetoresistance in Fe3O4 (110) heteroepitaxial films
(2011)We observe a strong crystallographic direction dependence on the low-field magnetoresistance (MR) behavior of the epitaxial Fe3O4 (110) films grown on MgO (110) substrates. The sign of MR is positive when the current and ... -
Reversal and pinning of Curie point transformations in thin film piezoelectrics
(2011)The Curie point for a rhombohedral piezoelectric thin film was established by in situ micro-Raman spectroscopy. The hysteresis in phase reversal and specific thermal conditions for disrupting such reversal were determined.
