Epitaxial hcp Cobalt films with pronounced c-axis texture have been prepared
by pulsed lased deposition (PLD) either directly onto Al2O3 (0001) single
crystal substrates or with an intermediate Ruthenium buffer layer. The crystal
structure and epitaxial growth relation was studied by XRD, pole figure
measurements and reciprocal space mapping. Detailed VSM analysis shows that the
perpendicular anisotropy of these highly textured Co films reaches the
magnetocrystalline anisotropy of hcp-Co single crystal material. Films were
prepared with thickness t of 20 nm < t < 100 nm to study the crossover from
in-plane magnetization to out-of-plane magnetization in detail. The analysis of
the periodic domain pattern observed by magnetic force microscopy allows to
determine the critical minimum thickness below which the domains adopt a pure
in-pla...

The use of piezoelectric substrates enables a dynamic observation of strain
dependent properties of functional materials. Based on studies with
La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 we extended this approach to the iron arsenic superconductors
represented by BaFe2-xCoxAs2 to investigate strain driven changes in detail. We
demonstrate that epitaxial thin films can be prepared on
(001)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.72Ti0.28O3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The
structural as well as the electric properties of the grown films were
characterized in detail. A reversible shift of the superconducting transition
of 0.44 K for La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 and 0.2 K for BaFe1.8Co0.2As2 was observed
applying a biaxial strain of 0.022% and 0.017% respectively.
