Abstract

Read online

Until now, there have been three choices for a room temperature (RT) single element ferromagnetic material in fundamental studies and applications. Here the authors achieved body-centered tetragonal phase ruthenium thin films by epitaxial growth, which is the 4th RT ferromagnetic single element material.
