Post-Polish Figuring of Optical Surfaces Using Multilayer Deposition, ed. by G. Kubiak and D. Kania

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

Charles S. Tarrio, E Spiller, C J. Evans, Thomas B. Lucatorto, Charles W. Clark

Chemical Aspects of Tool Wear in Single Point Diamond Turning

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

E W. Paul, Christopher J. Evans, A Mangamelli, Michael L. McGlauflin, Robert S. Polvani

A hypothesis is proposed that ascribes chemical wear of diamond tools to the presence of unpaired d electrons in the sample being machined. This hypothesis is...

Self-Calibration: Reversal, Redundancy, Error Separation, and "Absolute Testing"

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

Christopher J. Evans, R Hocken, William T. Estler

Over the years many techniques have been developed for accurate measurement of part features without reference to an externally calibrated artifact. This paper...

Relativistic Covariance and the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

Egon Marx

The standard interpretation of quantum mechanics is revised to conform to the relativistic theory based on the many-amplitudes formalism for the N-particle...

Fiber-optic Faraday-effect magnetic-field sensor based on flux concentrators

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

M. N. Deeter

The principles and performance of a fiber-optic Faraday-effect magnetic-field sensor designed around an yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) sensing element and two flux...

Optimizing the GMR of Symmetric and Bottom Spin Valves

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

William F. Egelhoff Jr., P J. Chen, Cedric J. Powell, Mark D. Stiles, Robert McMichael, C Lin, J Sivertsen, J Judy, K Takano, A Berkowitz, T Anthony, J Brug

We have attempted to optimize the values of the giant magnetoresistance in symmetric spin valves of the type NiO/Co/Cu/Co/Cu/Co/NiO (achieving 23.4%) and in...

Low-temperature Growth of GMR Spin Valves

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

William F. Egelhoff Jr., R Misra, T Ha, Y Kadmon, Cedric J. Powell, Mark D. Stiles, Robert McMichael, Lawrence H. Bennett, C Lin, J Sivertsen, J Judy

We have investigated the dependence of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect, the coercivity, the coupling field, and the resistivity on film deposition at...

The Trade-off Between Large GMR and Small Coercivity in Symmetric Spin Valves

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

William F. Egelhoff Jr., P J. Chen, Cedric J. Powell, Mark D. Stiles, Robert McMichael, C Lin, J Sivertsen, J Judy, K Takano, A Berkowitz

We have investigated the use of various alloys as substitutes for pure Co in the center film of symmetric spin valves of the type NiO/Co/Cu/Co/Cu/Co/NiO. The...

Growth of GMR Spin Valves using Indium as a Surfactant

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

William F. Egelhoff Jr., P J. Chen, Cedric J. Powell, Mark D. Stiles, Robert McMichael

We have investigated the use of In as a surfactant to achieve smoother interfaces in spin-valve multilayers of the general type: FeMn/Ni 80Fe 20/Co/Cu/Co/Ni...

Growth of Giant Magnetoresistance Spin Valves Using Pb and Au as Surfactants

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

William F. Egelhoff Jr., P J. Chen, Cedric J. Powell, Mark D. Stiles, Robert McMichael, C Lin, J Sivertsen, J Judy, K Takano, A Berkowitz

We have investigated the use of Pb and Au as surfactants in an attempt to achieve smoother and sharper interfaces in three types of giant magnetoresistance (GMR...

Magnetization Reversal in Ultrathin Films with Monolayer-Scale Surface Roughness

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

A Moschel, A Zangwill, R Hyman, Mark D. Stiles

The intrinsic anisotropy of nominally flat, ultrathin ferromagnetic films typically is augmented by a uniaxial anisotropy at step edges. We report model...

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

Angela Davies, Joseph A. Stroscio, Daniel T. Pierce, Robert Celotta

While much progress has been made using epitaxial growth of Fe/Cr/Fe structures to study magnetic exchange coupling, a number of anomalies have arisen in...
