Abstract

We have used room temperature, ballistic electron emission microscopy (BEEM) to measure hot-electron transport through ultra-thin Au/Co multilayre structures deposited onto Si. The samples consist of Au/Co/Si or (Au/Co)n/AuSi diodes, sputter deposited at 175K to 300K, where n is the number of repeat layers.
