Giant magnetoresistance in electrodeposited superlattices
We have observed ``giant magnetoresistance'' in short-period Cu/Co-Ni-Cu alloy superlattices electrodeposited from a single electrolyte under potentiostatic control. The superlattices were grown on po...

Characterization of atomic force microscope tips by adhesion force measurements
The resolution limit in an atomic force microscope image usually is attributed to the finite radius of the contacting probe. Here, it is shown that this assumption is valid only when adhesion forces a...

We have investigated the effect which bombardment by middle energy electrons has on the Cr/Fe interface in the Fe/Cr/Fe layered system. Reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) patterns reveal interfacial reconstruction and show that the surface is smoothed out by the bombardment. Modification of magnetic properties of the Fe/Cr/Fe system has been observed even in a zone a few millimeters away from the region subjected to the e bombardment.
