Experimental evidence for electron channeling in Fe/Au (100) superlattices

Abstract

A study of the electron channeling in Fe/Au (100) superlattices was performed. The superlatices were grown by molecular beam epitaxy and its transport and structural data were analyzed. It was found that the high conductivity in the superlattices was due to the electron channeling mechanism. The electron channeling mechanism was due to strong specular reflection of the minority spin carrier at the Au/Fe interfaces.
