Abstract

A two-dimensional (2D) thin film composed of Tb nanocrystals with uniform orientations is fabricated directly from Tb65Fe25Al10 alloy melt upon quenching. The Tb nanocrystals with vertical height of 15–30 nm and lateral width of 10–20 nm are assembled in the nanocrystalline array on an amorphous substrate. The formation mechanism for the aligned Tb nanocrystals is discussed. The single-step formation method may provide a new and flexible alternative to fabricate nanostructured films or arrays used for submicron devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
