Controlled enhancement or suppression of exchange biasing using impurity -layers
The effects of inserting impurity -layers of various elements into a
Co/IrMn exchange biased bilayer, at both the interface, and at given points
within the IrMn layer a distance from the interface, has been investigated.
Depending on the chemical species of dopant, and its position, we found that
the exchange biasing can be either strongly enhanced or suppressed. We show
that biasing is enhanced with a dusting of certain magnetic impurities, present
at either at the interface or sufficiently far away from the Co/IrMn interface.
This illustrates that the final spin structure at the Co/IrMn interface is not
only governed by interface structure/roughness but is also mediated by local
exchange or anisotropy variations within the bulk of the IrMn
Calibration of the Ames Anechoic Facility. Phase 1: Short range plan
A calibration was made of the acoustic and aerodynamic characteristics of a small, open-jet wind tunnel in an anechoic room. The jet nozzle was 102 mm diameter and was operated subsonically. The anechoic-room dimensions were 7.6 m by 5.5 m by 3.4 m high (wedge tip to wedge tip). Noise contours in the chamber were determined by various jet speeds and exhaust collector positions. The optimum nozzle/collector separation from an acoustic standpoint was 2.1 m. Jet velocity profiles and turbulence levels were measured using pressure probes and hot wires. The jet was found to be symmetric, with no unusual characteristics. The turbulence measurements were hampered by oil mist contamination of the airflow
Analytical solution of the equation of motion for a rigid domain wall in a magnetic material with perpendicular anisotropy
This paper reports the solution of the equation of motion for a domain wall
in a magnetic material which exhibits high magneto-crystalline anisotropy.
Starting from the Landau-Lifschitz-Gilbert equation for field-induced motion,
we solve the equation to give an analytical expression, which specifies the
domain wall position as a function of time. Taking parameters from a Co/Pt
multilayer system, we find good quantitative agreement between calculated and
experimentally determined wall velocities, and show that high field uniform
wall motion occurs when wall rigidity is assumed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
