Ultrathin metallic films like CoFe, Ta, Cu, Cr, and NiFe are widely used in magnetic devices such as magnetic random access memory (MRAM) and magnetic recording heads. Dewetting corrosions were often observed after O 2 plasma ashing in MRAM fabrications. The surface stability of these films was then
The onset of superconductivity in homogeneous ultrathin films grown incrementally is found to occur when their normal state sheet resistance falls below a value close to hl4e 2 , the quantum resistance for pairs. The data, which extends down to OAK, further suggest that in the T ~0 limit such films
