Pinhole Coupling Strength in Giant Magnetoresistance Spin Valves: A Statistical Approach

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
D X. Yang, E J. Repetski, H D. Chopra, B J. Spencer, D Parks, P J. Chen, William F. Egelhoff Jr.
The nature of pinhole coupling and its strength in 'giant' magnetoresistance (GMR) spin valves is far from understood. In the present study, a statistical model has been developed that correctly predicts the coupling strength due to pinholes, using the

The contents of this transaction volume comprise the proceedings of the Electronics Division Focused Session HighTemperature Superconductor Processing during the American Ceramic Society annual meeting at St. Louis, MO, from April29 to May 1, 2002.. A

Production of Cold Molecules via Magnetically Tunable Feshbach Resonances

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
T Koehler, K Goral, Paul S. Julienne
Magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances were employed to associate cold diatomic molecules in a series of experiments involving both atomic Bose as well as two spin component Fermi gases. This review illustrates theoretical concepts of both the particular

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
D Hayes, Paul S. Julienne, I H. Deutsch
A nuclear spin can act as a quantum switch that turns on or off ultracold collisions between atoms even when there is neither interaction between nuclear spins nor between the nuclear and electron spins. This exchange blockade is a new mechanism for
