Magnetic Ordering Of Eutepbte Multilayers Determined By X-ray Resonant Diffraction
In this work we use resonant x-ray diffraction combined with polarization analysis of the diffracted beam to study the magnetic ordering in EuTePbTe multilayers. The presence of satellites at the (1/2 1/2 1/2) magnetic reflection of a 50 repetition EuTePbTe superlattice demonstrated the existence of magnetic correlations among the alternated EuTe layers. The behavior of the satellites intensity as T increases toward the Ǹel temperature TN indicates that these correlations persist nearly up to TN and suggests the preferential decrease of the magnetic order parameter of external monolayers of each EuTe layer within the superlattice. © 2008 American Institute of Physics.9224Lovesey, S.W., Collins, S.P., (1996) X-Ray Scattering and Absorption by Magnetic Materials, , (Oxford University Press, New York)Granado, E., Pagliuso, P.G., Giles, C., Lora-Serrano, R., Yokaichiya, F., Sarrao, J.L., (2004) Phys.

Structural And Magnetic Characterization Of Eute/snte Superlattices Grown By Molecular Beam Epitaxy
Here we investigate the structural and magnetic properties of 24 repetitions EuTe/SnTe superlattices (SLs), with 3 monolayers (ML) EuTe films and SnTe thicknesses between 13 and 36 ML. The SLs were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on 3 μm SnTe buffer layers, grown on top of (111)BaF2 substrates. High resolution x-ray diffraction measurements indicated that the SLs with thicker SnTe layers have higher structural quality. This is due to the SnTe growth mode on EuTe, which starts in islands and evolves to layer-by-layer. The magnetic diffraction peak observed for the higher quality SLs proved the existence of antiferromagnetic order within the individual EuTe layers. Decreasing the width of the non-magnetic SnTe layers resulted in rougher interfaces, and the fading of the magnetic peak signal. The magnetization versus applied field curves indicated that the magnetic moments of SLs with thinner SnTe layers were also harder to align along the field direction. We interpret our results considering the loss of Eu neighbors, related with the increasing roughness of the SL interfaces. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.1199157158Kepa, H., (2003) Phys. Rev.

Coherent resonant tunneling in ac fields
We have analyzed the tunneling transmission probability and electronic
current density through resonant heterostructures in the presence of an
external electromagnetic field. In this work, we compare two different models
for a double barrier : In the first case the effect of the external field is
taken into account by spatially dependent AC voltages and in the second one the
electromagnetic field is described in terms of a photon field that irradiates
homogeneously the whole sample. While in the first description the tunneling
takes place mainly through photo sidebands in the case of homogeneous
illumination the main effective tunneling channels correspond to the coupling
between different electronic states due to photon absorption and emission. The
difference of tunneling mechanisms between these configurations is strongly
reflected in the transmission and current density which present very different
features in both cases. In order to analyze these effects we have obtained,
within the Transfer Hamiltonian framework, a general expression for the
transition probability for coherent resonant tunneling in terms of the Green's
function of the system.Comment: 16 pages,Figures available upon request,to appear in Phys.Rev B (15
