Band offsets for the epitaxial TiO2/SrTiO3/Si(001) system
We have used x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with high energy resolution to determine band discontinuities at the two buried interfaces of the epitaxial TiO2 (anatase)/SrTiO3/Si(001) system. The vale...

Correlation between the superconducting and structural properties in MgB2 thin films prepared by molecular-beam epitaxy
Superconducting MgB2 films were prepared on an Al2O3(0001) substrate by codeposition of Mg and B using the molecular-beam epitaxy technique and the effects of the growth conditions on the structural a...

An optical spin-valve effect is observed using sub-bandgap internal photoemission to generate and collect hot electrons in magnetic multilayers grown on n-Si. Approximately 1.5%–2.5% magnetoresistance is observed in this two-terminal device at low temperature, and this effect is reduced only to 1.1% at room temperature. A simple model is presented to explain the results. ©2003 American Institute of Physics.
