Growth on transition metal substrates is becoming a method of choice to prepare large-area graphene foils. In the case of nickel, where carbon has a significant solubility, such a growth process includes at least two elementary steps: (1) carbon dissolution into the metal, and (2) graphene precipitation at the surface. Here, we dissolve calibrated amounts of carbon in nickel films, using carbon ion implantation, and annealing at 725 circ or 900 circ. We then use transmission electron microscopy to analyse the precipitation process in detail: the latter appears to imply carbon diffusion over large distances and at least two distinct microscopic mechanisms.

Graphene is a 2D material that displays excellent electronic transport properties with prospective applications in many fields. Inducing and controlling magnetism in the graphene layer, for instance by proximity of magnetic materials, may enable its
utilization in spintronic devices. This paper presents fabrication and detailed characterization of single-layer graphene formed on the surface of epitaxial FeRh thin films. The magnetic state of the FeRh surface can be controlled by temperature, magnetic field or strain due to interconnected order parameters. Characterization of graphene layers by X-ray Photoemission and X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy, Low-Energy Ion Scattering, Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, and Low-Energy Electron Microscopy shows that graphene is single-layer, polycrystalline and covers more than 97% of the substrate. Graphene displays several preferential orientations on the FeRh(001) surface with unit vectors of graphene rotated by 30{deg}, 15{deg}, 11{deg}, and 19{deg} with respect to FeRh substrate unit vectors. In addition, the graphene layer is capable to protect the films from oxidation when exposed to air for several months. Therefore, it can be also used as a protective layer during fabrication of magnetic elements or as an atomically thin spacer, which enables incorporation of switchable magnetic layers within stacks of 2D materials in advanced devices.
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a layered two-dimensional material with properties that make it promising as a dielectric in various applications. We report the growth of h-BN films on Ni foils from elemental B and N using molecular beam epitaxy. T
he presence of crystalline h-BN over the entire substrate is confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy is used to examine the morphology and continuity of the synthesized films. A scanning electron microscopy study of films obtained using shorter depositions offers insight into the nucleation and growth behavior of h-BN on the Ni substrate. The morphology of h-BN was found to evolve from dendritic, star-shaped islands to larger, smooth triangular ones with increasing growth temperature.
We study the interaction of Rayleigh and shear horizontal surface acoustic waves (SAWs) with spin waves in thin Ni films on a piezoelectric LiTaO$_3$ substrate, which supports both SAW modes simultaneously. Because Rayleigh and shear horizontal modes
induce different strain components in the Ni thin films, the symmetries of the magnetoelastic driving fields, of the magnetoelastic response, and of the transmission nonreciprocity differ for both SAW modes. Our experimental findings are well explained by a theoretical model based on a modified Landau--Lifshitz--Gilbert approach. We show that the symmetries of the magnetoelastic response driven by Rayleigh- and shear horizontal SAWs complement each other, which makes it possible to excite spin waves for any relative orientation of magnetization and SAW propagation direction and, moreover, can be utilized to characterize surface strain components of unknown acoustic wave modes.
Single phase nickel-cobalt-titanate thin films with a formula A1+2xTi1-xO3, where A is Ni2+,Co2+ and -0.25<x<1, were grown by pulsed laser deposition on sapphire substrates. There is a large window in which both Ni/Co ratio and x can be chosen indepe
ndently. In the prototype ilmenite and corundum structures one third of the octahedra are vacant. The reported structure is obtained by filling vacant (x>0) or emptying filled (x<0) octahedra. When x = 1 all octahedra are filled. Two factors controlling the magnetism and crystal distortion are identified. First is a direct overlap between the adjacent cation d-orbitals resulting in a bond formation and magnetic interactions between the cations. This is most clearly revealed as a crystal distortion in the x approximately 0 compositions with approximately equal amounts of Ni and Co: the distortion of the x approximately 0 compound is a function of Ni/Co ratio. The second factor is x, which controls the cation shift towards a vacant octahedron. The displacement decreases and the symmetry increases with decreasing Ti content as was revealed by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. When all octahedra are filled the cations prefer octahedron center positions. Also the number density of cations has increased by a factor of 50 percent when compared to the ilmenite structure. The number density ratios of Ni/Co cations between x=1 and x=0 compounds is 3. The Raman and x-ray diffraction data collected on samples with x = 1 or close to 1 are interpreted in terms of P63/mmc space group.
Single-crystalline transition metal films are ideal playing fields for the epitaxial growth of graphene and graphene-base materials. Graphene-silicon layered structures were successfully constructed on Ir(111) thin film on Si substrate with an yttria
-stabilized zirconia buffer layer via intercalation approach. Such hetero-layered structures are compatible with current Si-based microelectronic technique, showing high promise for applications in future micro- and nano-electronic devices.
