Epitaxy, exfoliation, and strain-induced magnetism in rippled Heusler membranes
Epitaxy, exfoliation, and strain-induced magnetism in rippled Heusler membranes
Abstract Single-crystalline membranes of functional materials enable the tuning of properties via extreme strain states; however, conventional routes for producing membranes require the use of sacrificial layers and chemical etchants, which can both damage the membrane and limit the ability to make them ultrathin. Here we demonstrate the epitaxial growth …
