Stacking fault formation during growth of oxide films leads to the spontaneous formation of double chemical terminated surfaces with distinct local properties. See more at Highlights page
Strain-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in La2CoMnO6-e thin films and its dependence on film thickness A new paper published in Physical Review B demonstrates that the strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy observed in LCMO films may be attributed to tensile stress. See …
