Ultracold Collision Properties of Metastable Alkaline-Earth Atoms

February 1, 2003
Author(s)
A Derevianko, S. G. Porsev, Svetlana A. Kotochigova, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne
Ultra-cold collisions of spin-polarized Mg, Ca, and Sr in the metastable 3P2 excited state are investigated. We show the existence of purely long-range potentials, determine the scattering length, and estimate the collisional loss rate as a function of

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
M H. Zimmerman, D M. Baskin, K T. Faber, Lin-Sien H. Lum, Andrew J. Allen, D T. Keane
The role of crystallographic texture in determining the fracture behavior of a highly anisotropic ceramic, iron titantate, has been examined. By exploiting the anisotropy in its single crystal magnetic susceptibility, crystallographically textured and

Ferromagnetic resonance measurement using stroboscopic magneto optical Kerr effect

June 7, 2015

Takahiro Moriyama, Seungha Yoon, Robert McMichael
We have developed a novel ferromagnetic resonance measurement technique using the magneto optical Kerr effect. The measurement technique uses microwave-frequency, intensity-modulated light to stroboscopically measure the Kerr angle due to the magnetization

Although the precise mechanism is under, unconventional superconductivity (SC) is linked to the pairing of electrons by itinerant antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin fluctuations. Thus, unconventional SC often develops in magnetic metals on the cusp of static AFM

Creation and manipulation of Feshbach resonances with radio-frequency radiation

August 12, 2010
Author(s)
Thomas M. Hanna, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne
We present a simple technique for studying collisions of ultracold atoms in the presence of a magnetic field and radio-frequency radiation (rf ). Resonant control of scattering properties can be achieved by using rf to couple a colliding pair of atoms to a

Artifacts That Could Be Misinterpreted as Ballistic Magnetoresistance

Author(s)
William F. Egelhoff Jr., L Gan, Erik B. Svedberg, Cedric J. Powell, Alexander J. Shapiro, Robert McMichael, J Mallett, Thomas P. Moffat, Mark D. Stiles
Theoretical physics suggests that very large magnetoresistance (MR) values might be found in certain magnetic nanocontacts if a magnetic domain wall could be localized in them with a length scale that would allow conduction electrons to transit the wall

We show that electroplated Re films in multilayers with noble metals such as Cu, Au, and Pd have an enhanced superconducting critical temperature relative to previous methods of preparing Re. The dc resistance and magnetic susceptibility indicate a critical

Burm Baek, William H. Rippard, Matthew R. Pufall, Samuel P. Benz, Stephen E. Russek, Horst Rogalla, Paul D. Dresselhaus
Traditionally, superconductivity and magnetism have had a mutually exclusive relationship. However, the physics of superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid structures turned out to be far from being simply destructive, which has led to the hope of a new breed of

Absence of Long-Range Ordering in the Pyrochlore Compound Er 2 Sn 2 O 7

P. M. Sarte, H. J. Silverstein, B. T. K. Van Wyk, Jason S. Gardner, Yiming Qiu, H. D. Zhou, C. R. Wiebe
The low temperature behavior of powder Er 2Sn 2O 7 samples has been studied by magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, and neutron scattering experiments. We report here the presence of no magnetic ordering down to 100 mK. Anomalies in the heat capacity

Resonant Control of Elastic Collisions in an Optically Trapped Fermi Gas of Atoms

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
T Loftus, C A. Regal, J L. Ticknor, J L. Bohn, Deborah S. Jin
We have loaded an ultracold gas of fermionic atoms into a far off resonance optical dipole trap and precisely controlled the spin composition of the trapped gas. We have measured a magnetic-field Fesh-bach resonance between atoms in the two lowest energy

Coherent Control of Precessional Dynamics in Thin Film Permalloy

April 1, 2000
Author(s)
T. M. Crawford, Pavel Kabos, Thomas J. Silva
We demonstrate a method of eliminating overshoot and ringing in magnetizaiton dynamics when the system bandwidth includes the intrinsic ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). The method employsstaggered step excitation for the cancellation of FMR oscillations
