c(2x2) Interface Alloys in Co/Cu Multilayers - Influence on Interlayer Exchange Coupling and GMR
The influence of a c(2x2) ordered interface alloy of 3d transition metals at
the ferromagnet/nonmagnet interface on interlayer exchange coupling (IXC), the
formation of quantum well states (QWS) and the phenomenon of Giant
MagnetoResistance is investigated. We obtained a strong dependence of IXC on
interface alloy formation. The GMR ratio is also strongly influenced. We found
that Fe, Ni and Cu alloys at the interface enhance the GMR ratio for in-plane
geometry by nearly a factor of 2.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, 1 table, subm. to PR

Stretched exponential relaxation in the mode-coupling theory for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation
We study the mode-coupling theory for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in the
strong-coupling regime, focusing on the long time properties. By a saddle point
analysis of the mode-coupling equations, we derive exact results for the
correlation function in the long time limit - a limit which is hard to study
using simulations. The correlation function at wavevector k in dimension d is
found to behave asymptotically at time t as C(k,t)\simeq 1/k^{d+4-2z}
(Btk^z)^{\gamma/z} e^{-(Btk^z)^{1/z}}, with \gamma=(d-1)/2, A a determined
constant and B a scale factor.Comment: RevTex, 4 pages, 1 figur

Layer-by-Layer Assembled Nanowire Networks Enable Graph Theoretical Design of Multifunctional Coatings
Multifunctional coatings are central for information, biomedical,
transportation and energy technologies. These coatings must possess
hard-to-attain properties and be scalable, adaptable, and sustainable, which
makes layer-by-layer assembly (LBL) of nanomaterials uniquely suitable for
these technologies. What remains largely unexplored is that LBL enables
computational methodologies for structural design of these composites.
Utilizing silver nanowires (NWs), we develop and validate a graph theoretical
(GT) description of their LBL composites. GT successfully describes the
multilayer structure with nonrandom disorder and enables simultaneous rapid
assessment of several properties of electrical conductivity, electromagnetic
transparency, and anisotropy. GT models for property assessment can be rapidly
validated due to (1) quasi-2D confinement of NWs and (2) accurate microscopy
data for stochastic organization of the NW networks. We finally show that
spray-assisted LBL offers direct translation of the GT-based design of
composite coatings to additive, scalable manufacturing of drone wings with
straightforward extensions to other technologies
A ferromagnet with a glass transition
We introduce a finite-connectivity ferromagnetic model with a three-spin
interaction which has a crystalline (ferromagnetic) phase as well as a glass
phase. The model is not frustrated, it has a ferromagnetic equilibrium phase at
low temperature which is not reached dynamically in a quench from the
high-temperature phase. Instead it shows a glass transition which can be
studied in detail by a one step replica-symmetry broken calculation. This spin
model exhibits the main properties of the structural glass transition at a
solvable mean-field level.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, uses epl.cls (included

Dewey Hodges’s Research in Structural Dynamics, Aeroelasticity, and Composites: A Personal Perspective
The contributions of Dewey Hodges within the specialized areas of structural dynamics, aeroelasticity, and composites are highlighted in this paper. Dewey Hodges has published 215 journal papers and 170 conference papers covering a wide range of topics in aerospace structures. His research and academic career span nearly five decades and it is difficult, if not impossible, to give a detailed commentary on his colossal achievement in the confines of a single paper. It is widely acknowledged that Dewey Hodges’s research record is no less than incredible. He has not only given an exceptional account of himself but has also demonstrated his extraordinary versatility in research. The author of this paper has known him both personally and professionally for nearly three decades and, with great humility, he acknowledges the enormous benefit he has received from his association with him. Given the huge volume of work Dewey Hodges has produced and the enormity of the task of commenting on it, the author has understandably been highly selective in choosing which contributions to discuss
