摘要: Abstract A structural characterization of the Fe/NiO(100) and Fe/MgO(100) interfaces is reported. Polarization-dependent X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been employed to explore local atomic structure interfaces. strong difference between two systems observed: interface does not show a significant Fe oxidation or oxygen diffusion while buckled Fe–O like layer observed at Fe/NiO(001). Moreover, on MgO(001) substrate tetragonal strain released 10 ML thickness, residual epitaxial can be film same thickness NiO(001). magnetic Fe/NiO(001) system by linear non-linear magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements also reported discussed.
