Robert McMichael, Philip Pong, John Unguris, William F. Egelhoff Jr., A Edelstein, E Nowak, Sean R. Parkin
The extension of small, inexpensive, low-power magnetic sensors into the sub-picoTesla regime, which is currently dominated by fluxgates and SQUIDS, would be a paradigm shift for the field of magnetic sensors. The necessary elements for sub-picoTesla MTJ

Challenging Some Free - Energy Reduction Criteria for Grain Growth

S G. Srinivasan, John W. Cahn
Laboratory experiments on wedge shaped bicrystalline specimens ahve provided much insight into grain-boundary migration [for example: Rath and Hu, Trans. AIME, VOl. 245, pp. 1577 (1969)]. We revisit this geometry, but employ a wedge angle of 2 pi, at the

Change Detection between XML Documents

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
K H. Lee, Y C. Choy, S B. Cho, Xiao Tang, V R. Mccrary
¿¿¿This paper presents an efficient algorithm to detect changes between old and new versions of an XML document. The difference between the two versions can be considered to be an edit script that transforms one document tree into another. The proposed
