Ladieu, F., Mailly, D., Sanquer, M.

We have observed reproducible conductance fluctuations at low temperature in a small GaAs:Si wire driven across the Anderson transition by the application of a gate voltage. We analyse quantitatively...

Quantum Hall effect and Fermi surface instabilities in (TMTSF) 2ClO4 (1984)

Ribault, M., Cooper, J., Jérome, D., Mailly, D., Moradpour, A., Bechgaard, K.

Peaks in magnetoresistance at the same magnetic field as the steps in the Hall voltage are observed in (TMTSF)2ClO4. These measurements were performed between 0.1 and 1.2 K, in magnetic fields up to...

Anisotropy of the Meissner effect and the diamagnetic shielding in (TMTSF)2ClO4 (1982)

Mailly, D., Ribault, M., Bechgaard, K., Fabre, J.M., Giral, L.

The diamagnetic shielding and the Meissner effect measured on a single crystal of (TMTSF)2ClO4 are strongly anisotropic increasing from the a to b* and c* directions. In very low magnetic fields the...

Magnetic nanostructures patterned by focused ion beam in an ultrathin Pt/Co/Pt film

Hyndman, R., Mougin, A., Repain, V., Ferre, J., Jamet, J.P., Gierak, J., ...

The magnetic properties of Co/Pt films can be modified and even controlled by ion beam irradiation. For example, the coercivity and magnetic anisotropy of a 1.4nm thick Co layer are reduced with...

Exploration of the ultimate patterning potential achievable with high resolution focused ion beams

Gierak, J., Mailly, D., Hawkes, P., Jede, R., Bruchhaus, L., Bardotti, L., ...

Controlled and reproducible fabrication of nanostructured materials will be one of the main industrial challenges in the next few years. We have recently proposed exploitation of the nano-structuring...
