Spin-transfer dynamics in spin valves with out-of-plane magnetized CoNi free layers

January 29, 2010

William H. Rippard, Alina M. Deac, Matthew R. Pufall, Justin M. Shaw, Mark W. Keller, Stephen E. Russek, Gerrit E. Bauer, Claudio Serpico
We have measured spin-transfer-induced dynamics in magnetic nanocontact devices having a perpendicularly magnetized Co/Ni free layer and an in-plane magnetized CoFe fixed layer. The frequencies and powers of the excitations agree well with the predictions

Magnetic dynamics with spin transfer torques near the Curie temperature.

September 24, 2009
Author(s)
Paul M. Haney, Mark D. Stiles
In this paper we explore the combined action of large thermal fluctuations and spin transfer torques on the behavior of magnetic layers in spin valves. We find that at temperatures near Tc, spin currents can measurably change the size of the magnetization

Measurement of Small Birefringence and Loss in a Nonlinear Single-mode Waveguide

Daniel Rogers, Charles W. Clark, Christopher Richardson, Julius Goldhar
We design and fabricate a birefringent semiconductor waveguide for application to nonlinear photonics, demonstrating that it is possible to engineer a small birefringence into such a device using multiple core layers. We also demonstrate a simple technique

A Bose-Einstein Condensate in a Uniform Light-Induced Vector Potential

March 30, 2009
Author(s)
Yu-Ju Lin, Robert L. Compton, Abigail R. Perry, William D. Phillips, James V. Porto, Ian B. Spielman
We use a two-photon dressing field to create an effective vector gauge potential for Bose-condensed ^87Rb atoms in the F=1 hyperfine ground state. The dressed states in this Raman field are spin and momentum superpositions, and we adiabatically load the
