Heusler alloys deposited by pulsed laser ablation for use in spin tunnelling applications

This thesis investigates the growth of Heusler alloys via pulsed laser deposition (PLO), and their use in tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) devices. In doing so it investigates the capabilities of a novel beam scanning system with good potential uniformity characteristics over large areas. This thesis...
