In Fig. 3a a NRA spectrum of the specimen 1, measured with a 4He beam (E = 3.065 MeV) is presented. An enhanced O peak at channel 160 is due to the oxygen contained in the PZT film. The result of a simulation using the RUMP code is presented with continuous line. The simulated and experimental curves show good agreement. The compositions and thicknesses of layers found in specimen 1 are the following: - PZT layer (composition: Pb0.78Zr0.25Ti0.50O3; thickness: 1340 at/cm2) - interfacial layer 1 (composition: Ti0.02O0.1Pt0.5; thickness: 870 at/cm2) - interfacial layer 2 (composition: TiO2; thickness: 45 at/cm2) - interfacial layer 3 (composition: SiO2; thickness: 3850 at/cm2) (1) (2) For M2 << M1 excellent elemental resolution

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) exhibit a rich variety of novel properties, which can be exploited for a wide range of applications including ultra-high-density magnetic data storage, spintronics, quantum computing and more recently thermal management applications. Thin films of TMOs offer enormous opportunities to explore intriguing physics and also practical applications. The discovery of high Tc superconductivity in cuprates has increased in recent years the interest for low-dimensional Heisenberg magnetic systems. Among these, the compound SrCuO2 (SCO) has drawn much attention. SCO in the orthorhombic structure, consisting of zigzag chains of Cu2+ ions, has been recently shown to exhibit sizeable magnetic heat transport; while SCO in the tetragonal structure exhibits the simplest structure with superconducting CuO2 planes (so called infinite layer compound). Depending on the phase and the orientation, SCO can then be used for different applications. While it has been possible to obtain bulk SCO only in the orthorhombic structure, in the thin film form this compound has only been stabilized in the tetragonal structure.
Tetragonal Structure SrCuO2 (SCO) thin films were grown on (100) SrTiO3 and (100) MgO substrates. SrTiO3 substrates were treated with BHF etching to obtain a clean surface with TiO2 termination layer. Orthorhombic Structure
Letter of Intent for Using the 3 MV and 9MV Tandems April 14, 2012 It is proposed to study the elemental composition depth profile, thickness and lattice defects in thin films of novel materials by ion beam techniques such as Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS), Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA), Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) and Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE), taking advantage of both the existing 9MV Tandem and the new 3MV Tandem facilities present at the Horia Hulubei National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering. The materials include mainly oxides such as LiCoO2, SrCuO2, La5Ca9Cu24O41, VO2 etc. Ioannis Giapintzakis, Professor Director of Nanotechnology Research Unit Department of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering School of Engineering University of Cyprus 75 Kallipoleos Av., PO Box 20537 1678 Nicosia, Cyprus E-mail: giapintz@ucy.ac.cy Tel.: +357 22892283 Fax: +357 22895381
