Metastable Sm(Fe,Cu)5 ordered alloy films formed on Cu(111) underlayers

Sm-Fe thin films are prepared on Cu(111) underlayers hetero-epitaxially grown on MgO(111) single-crystal substrates by using an ultra-high vacuum molecular beam epitaxy system. The Sm/Fe composition is varied from Fe-rich (10 at. % Sm - Fe) to Sm-rich (30 at. % Sm - Fe) region including SmFe5 stoich...
