Using structural disorder to enhance the magnetism and spin-polarization in FexSi(1 - x) thin films for spintronics

Amorphous Fe sub(x)Si sub(1 - x) thin films exhibit a striking enhancement in magnetization compared to crystalline films with the same composition (0.45 < x < 0.75), and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism reveals an enhancement in both spin and orbital moments in the amorphous films. Density f...
