Proximity effect of vanadium on strain and spin-density waves in thin Cr films

Spin-density wave state in thin Cr films is known to be under the influence of proximity effects from neighboring layers. In the present paper, we report on a combined neutron and X-ray scattering study of proximity effects in Cr/V films where the boundary conditions are due to V–Cr hybridization at...

Summary:Spin-density wave state in thin Cr films is known to be under the influence of proximity effects from neighboring layers. In the present paper, we report on a combined neutron and X-ray scattering study of proximity effects in Cr/V films where the boundary conditions are due to V–Cr hybridization at interfaces. We provide evidence that the V/Cr interface has a strong and long-range influence on the global properties of the strain and spin-density waves in thin Cr films.
