The neutralization energy of highly charged ions (HCIs) is used as an intermediate processing step to modify the electrical properties of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), providing an additional degree of freedom in the devices fabrication. While most

Frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FS-CRDS) was employed to measure over 100 transitions in the R-branch of the b1Σg+←X3Σg-(0,0) band for the rare O2 isotopologues. The use of 17O- and 18O-enriched mixtures allowed for line positions to be

We describe a high sensitivity and high spectral resolution laser absorption spectrometer based upon the frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FS-CRDS) technique. We used the Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) method to lock the probe laser to the high

We have performed spin transfer switching experiments on nanoscale MgO magnetic tunnel junctions, with a large number of trials (up to 107 switching events) as functions of pulse voltage amplitude and duration, and compared the results with both macrospin
We derive equations for the phase noise spectrum of a spin torque oscillator in the macrospin approximation for the highly symmetric geometry where the equilibrium magnetization, applied field, anisotropy, and spin accumulation are all collinear. This

Patterned permallay films as a part of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) were fabricated, and the magnetization dynamics of such structures was investigated as fundamental building blocks for magnetic spintronic devices. Anisotropic magneto-resistance (AMR)

The field dependence of vortex oscillations in a spin-transfer metallic nanocontact, subject to in-plane, spatially uniform, external fields, is studied by measuring the power spectral density of the voltage across the device. The measured spectra as a

We use frequency resolved magneto-optic Kerr effect to probe the spin-dynamics and mode structure in 50 to 200 nm diameter Ni 80Fe 20 nanomagnets ranging from 3 to 10 nm in thickness. We find that the intrinsic Gilbert damping parameter is largely

Magnetic tunnel junction multilayer films have been characterized with broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) over a frequency range of 1 to 20 GHz. Tunnel junctions were fabricated using Al 2O 3 tunnel barriers and CoFeB/NiFe free layers and underwent a
A model of spin-torque-induced magnetization dynamics based on semiclassical spin diffusion theory for a single-layer nanocontact in presented. The model incorporates effects due to the current-induced Oersted field and predicts the generation of a variety
The multistep spin reorientation transition of ultrathin iron films on bulk gadolinium is described theoretically. We find that it is necessary to include cubic terms in the magnetic anisotropy energy expansion in order to explain this phenomenon
We have measured current-induced magnetic excitations in a variety of exchange-coupled Co/Cu multilayers using point-contact spectroscopy. A step in the DC resistance and corresponding peak in dV/dI are observed at a critical current Ic whose value
