• to the oblique deposition geometry [39]. Since CoFeB is highly sensitive to this induced anisotropic stress (owing to their large positive saturation magnetostriction coefficient λs [40]), the deposition geometry effectively results in the observed UMA [41]. The UMA in films is found to be directly

• deposition geometry on thermally oxidized Si substrates. During deposition the sample holder is cooled down to 77 K. It is observed that all obliquely deposited metals grow as tilted, high aspect ratio columns and hence with a similar morphology. A comparison of such columns with those deposited at room

• deposition geometry, those nuclei create a shadowed region, where the other incoming particles cannot condense. Ballistic shadowing forces the growing nuclei to develop in separated, tilted columns oriented towards the particle source. However, metal atoms show already at room temperature an enlarged surface

• oblique deposition geometry. Thereby, the effective area of the substrate is reduced by a factor of cos θ from the perspective of the incoming atoms. So, only a fraction of the incoming atoms will condense on the substrate, which results in a lower film thickness tθ>0° compared to the vertically deposited
