Ab-initio-calculations of the GMR-effect in Fe/V multilayers
In a self-consistent semi-empirical numerical approach based on
ab-initio-calculations for small samples, we evaluate the GMR effect for
disordered (001)-(3--Fe/3--V) multilayers by means of a Kubo
formalism. We consider four different types of disorder arrangements: In case
(i) and (ii), the disorder consists in the random interchange of some Fe and V
atoms, respectively, at interface layers; in case (iii) in the formation of
small groups of three substitutional Fe atoms in a V interface layer and a
similar V group in a Fe layer at a different interface; and for case (iv) in
the substitution of some V atoms in the innermost V layers by Fe. For cases (i)
and (ii), depending on the distribution of the impurities, the GMR effect is
enhanced or reduced by increasing disorder, in case (iii) the GMR effect is
highest, whereas finally, in case (iv), a negative GMR is obtained (''inverse
GMR'').Comment: LaTex, 30 pages, including 16 drawings; to appear in JMM
Dynamics of ferromagnetic nanomagnets with vortex or single-domain configuration
We study the dynamics of flat circular permalloy nanomagnets for 1.) magnetic
vortex and 2.) single-domain configurations, using micromagnetic simulation.
Dynamical studies for isolated vortex structures show that both the vorticity
and the central polarity of the out-of-plane component can be switched fast
(50-100 ps) and independently. Micromagnetic simulations of the switching
process in thin cylindrical Permalloy (Py) nanoparticles with an initial stable
single-domain state show nearly homogeneous single-domain behaviour followed by
excitation of spin waves.Comment: 2 pages with 3 eps-figures, --> ICM2003 Rome 28.7.-1.8.03, --> JMM
Future capacity growth of energy technologies: are scenarios consistent with historical evidence?
Future scenarios of the energy system under greenhouse gas emission constraints depict dramatic growth in a range of energy technologies. Technological growth dynamics observed historically provide a useful comparator for these future trajectories. We find that historical time series data reveal a consistent relationship between how much a technology’s cumulative installed capacity grows, and how long this growth takes. This relationship between extent (how much) and duration (for how long) is consistent across both energy supply and end-use technologies, and both established and emerging technologies. We then develop and test an approach for using this historical relationship to assess technological trajectories in future scenarios. Our approach for “learning from the past” contributes to the assessment and verification of integrated assessment and energy-economic models used to generate quantitative scenarios. Using data on power generation technologies from two such models, we also find a consistent extent - duration relationship across both technologies and scenarios. This relationship describes future low carbon technological growth in the power sector which appears to be conservative relative to what has been evidenced historically. Specifically, future extents of capacity growth are comparatively low given the lengthy time duration of that growth. We treat this finding with caution due to the low number of data points. Yet it remains counter-intuitive given the extremely rapid growth rates of certain low carbon technologies under stringent emission constraints. We explore possible reasons for the apparent scenario conservatism, and find parametric or structural conservatism in the underlying models to be one possible explanation
Comment on "Domain Structure in a Superconducting Ferromagnet"
According to Faure and Buzdin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 187202 (2005)], in a
superconducting ferromagnet a domain structure with a period small compared
with the London penetration depth can arise. They claim that this contradicts
to the conclusion of Sonin [Phys. Rev. B, 66, 100504 (2002)] that ferromagnetic
domain structure in the Meissner state of a superconducting ferromagnet is
absent in equilibrium. This contradiction is imaginary, based on
misinterpretation of the results of these two papers.Comment: 1 page, no figures, final version published in Phys.Rev.Let
Numerical Studies on the Magnetism of Fe-Ni-Mn Alloys in the Invar Region
By means of self-consistent semi-empirical LCAO calculations we study the
itinerant magnetism of (Fe_{0.65}Ni_{0.35})_{1-y} Mn_y alloys for y between 0
and 0.22 at T=0 K, neglecting only the transverse spin components. We find that
the magnetic behaviour is quite complicated on a local scale. In addition to
ferromagnetic behaviour, also metastable spin-glass-like configurations are
found. In the same approach, using a direct numerical calculation by the
Kubo-Formalism without any fit parameters, we also calculate the electrical
conductance in the magnetic state and find that the -dependence observed in
the experiments is well reproduced by our calculations, except of an overall
factor of rougly 5, by which our resistivities are too large.Comment: 12 pages (Latex, to be applied 2 times) + 13 figures (eps-files
Microwave Response and Spin Waves in Superconducting Ferromagnets
Excitation of spin waves is considered in a superconducting ferromagnetic
slab with the equilibrium magnetization both perpendicular and parallel to the
surface. The surface impedance is calculated and its behavior near propagation
thresholds is analyzed. Influence of non-zero magnetic induction at the surface
is considered in various cases. The results provide a basis for investigation
of materials with coexisting superconductivity and magnetism by microwave
response measurements.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
Der Nutzen liegt auf der Hand
Im September 2011 präsentierte UN-Generalsekretär Ban Ki-moon die Initiative „Sustainable Energy for All“ mit drei globalen Zielen, die bis 2030 erreicht werden sollen. Erhebliche Investitionen werden dafür notwendig sein. Nach den Ergebnissen einer weltweiten Studie erscheint ihre Umsetzung jedoch machbar
CYBER BULLYING DALAM ASPEK HUKUM
The application of science and technology in the form of online counseling with a Zoom Meeting entitled "Cyber-Bullying in the Legal Aspects" was held at SMA Negeri 3 Jayapura and Youth and Youth Environment RT 005 / RW 007 Kota Baru Village, Abepura District, where most of the participants are children of age school and youth. This counseling aims to understand about Cyberbullying and its causes, as well as to know the various forms of cyber-bullying and its various legal aspects. The result of this activity was that the counseling conducted online through the Zoom Meeting was well received by the participants, with good response indicators from participants who enthusiastically gave weighty questions that were raised in the question session. In the end, education about the impact of cyber-bullying must be carried out with the target of school age children and teenagers as a preventive effort in dealing with cyber bullying to children and teenagers.Keywords: cyber, bullying, cyber-bullying, law, abepura
Domain Walls in a Tetragonal Chiral p-Wave Superconductor
Domain walls in a tetragonal chiral p-wave superconductors with broken time
reversal symmetry are analyzed in the framework of the Ginsburg-Landau theory.
The energy and the jump of the magnetic induction on the wall were determined
for different types of walls as functions of the parameters of the
Ginzburg-Landau theory and orientation of the domain wall with respect to the
crystallographic axes. We discuss implications of the analysis for
, where no stray magnetic fields from domain walls were detected
experimentally.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
