ABSTRACT
We report on the synthesis of epitaxial (single-crystal-like), nanotwinned Cu films via magnetron sputtering. Increasing the deposition rate from 1 to 4 nm/s decreased the average twin lamellae spacing from 16 to 7 nm. These epitaxial nanotwinned Cu films exhibit significantly higher ratio of hardness to room temperature electrical resistivity than columnar grain (nanocrystalline), textured, nanotwinned Cu films.

Out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy (OMA) of FeCoNbB amorphous films has been studied. The OMA is abnormally enhanced by elevating the substrate temperature from room-temperature to 500 Â°C, being much different from most soft-magnetic amorphous films. Furthermore, the films show a slightly decay...
