Large T1 contrast enhancement using superparamagnetic nanoparticles in ultra-low field MRI

June 5, 2018

Xiaolu Yin, Stephen E. Russek, Gary Zabow, Fan Sun, Jeotikanta Mohapatra, Kathryn E. Keenan, Michael A. Boss, Hao Zeng, Sy-Hwang Liou, John M. Moreland
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are widely investigated and utilized as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast and therapy agents due to their large magnetic moments. Local field inhomogeneities caused by these high magnetic moments

Magnetic properties in ultra-thin 3d transition metal alloys II: experimental verification of quantitative theories of damping and spin-

A systematic study of the Gilbert damping is performed via ferromagnetic resonance for the disordered crystalline binary 3d transition metal alloys NiCo, NiFe and CoFe over the whole range of alloy compositions. After accounting for the inhomogeneous

Magnetic properties of ultra-thin 3d transition metal alloys I: spin and orbital moments and confirmation of Slater-Pauling theory

Martin A. Schoen, Juriaan Lucassen, Hans T. Nembach, Thomas J. Silva, Bert Koopmans, Christian Back, Justin M. Shaw
The structure and static magnetic properties - saturation magnetization, perpendicular anisotropy, Landé g-factor, and orbital magnetization - of thin film 3d transition metal alloys are determined over the full range of alloy compositions, via X-ray

A new magnet design for future Kibble balances

Stephan Schlamminger, Shisong Li, Michael Stock
We propose a new permanent magnet system for Kibble balance experiments, which combines advantages of the magnet designs invented by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM). The goal of the

Determination of spin Hall effect and spin diffusion length of Pt from self-consistent fitting of damping enhancement and inverse spin-orbit torque measurements

Understanding the evolution of spin-orbit torque (SOT) with increasing heavy-metal thickness in ferromagnet/normal metal (FM/NM) bilayers is critical for the development of magnetic memory based on SOT. However, several experiments have revealed an

Magnetic damping in sputtered Co2MnGe Heusler compounds with A2, B2 and L21 order: Experiment and Theory

We show that very low values of the magnetic damping parameter can be achieved in sputter deposited poly-crystalline films of Co2MnGe annealed at relatively low temperatures ranging from 240 oC to 400 oC. Damping values as low as 0.0014 are achieved with

Inductive detection of fieldlike and dampinglike ac inverse spin-orbit torques in ferromagnet/normal-metal bilayers

Andy Berger, Eric R. Edwards, Hans T. Nembach, Justin M. Shaw, Alexy D. Karenowska, Mathias Weiler, Thomas J. Silva
Phenomena that result from strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) at ferromagnet/normal metal (FM/NM) interfaces hold great promise for the development of efficient and scalable spintronic devices. SOC drives non-equilibrium spin-charge conversion, manifest as

Asymmetric and partial injection locking of a three-terminal spin-torque oscillator

We measure the injection locking of a three-terminal spin-torque oscillator (STO) excited by a spin-orbit torque. The device consists of a magnetic tunnel junction on top of a Pt wire. A DC and an AC current are applied through the Pt wire to respectively

The Permeability of Vacuum and the Revised International System of Units

Ronald B. Goldfarb
The International System of Units (SI) is expected to be revised such that all seven base units, including the kilogram, will be defined in terms of fixed numerical values of seven defining constants. The revised SI will include a redefinition of the
