✦ Synopsis


The structural, magnetic and transport properties of Co/GaAs (1 0 0) and Co/glass thin films have been investigated. The structural measurements reveal the crystalline nature of Co thin film grown on GaAs, while microcrystalline nature in case of glass substrate. The film grown on GaAs shows higher coercivity (49.0 G), lower saturation magnetization (3.65 Γ— 10 -4 ) and resistivity (8 cm) values as compared to that on glass substrate (22 G, 4.77 Γ— 10 -4 and 18 cm). The grazing incidence X-ray reflectivity and photoemission spectroscopy results show the interaction between Co and GaAs at the interface, while the Co layer grown on glass remains unaffected. These observed results are discussed and interpreted in terms of different growth morphologies and structures of as grown Co thin film on both substrates.

For applications of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7Γ€x (YBCO) thin films, the critical current density (J c ) should be improved by introducing pinning centers into YBCO thin films. We prepared YBCO films on SrTiO 3 (1 0 0) and MgO(1 0 0) substrates by means of pulsed laser deposition in order to study the flux pinni
