NANO-SCALE INTERFACE MODIFICATION OF THE Co/Cu SYSTEM: METALLIC SURFACE MODIFIERS IN THE GROWTH OF SMOOTH THIN FILMS

This review is a collection of twelve original papers concerning growth and interface modification in the Co/Cu system. Most of this research has been carried out in the Laboratory of Surface and Thin Film Physics at the Institute of Nuclear Physics. The Laboratory was created by the author of this review in 1996 in strong collaboration with the Institute of Nuclear Physics Wilhelms-Universität in Münster, Germany and th
