THE FABRICATION OF HEUSLER ALLOY THIN FILMS FROM MULTIPHASE TARGETS USING PULSED LASER DEPOSITION

In this project, we have explored the possibility of growing high quality Heusler alloy thin films from multiphase targets. Bulk targets were found to be partially formed, i.e. not of homogeneous L21 structure, through x-ray diffraction measurements. Pulsed laser deposition is a technique that can p...
