Multi-step magnetic switching with single, double, and triple loops has been observed in single-crystal (001) Co2MnGe Heusler alloy films epitaxially grown on GaAs (001) substrates due to a combined magnetic anisotropy consisting of cubic

Rare-Earth Garnets and Perovskites for Space-Based ADR Cooling at High T and Low H

March 1, 2002
Author(s)
T T. King, B A. Rowlett, R A. Ramirez, E R. Canavan, M J. DiPirro, J S. Panek, J G. Tuttle, Robert D. Shull, R A. Fry
Future NASA satellite detector systems must be cooled to the 0.1K temperature range to meet the stringent energy resolution and sensitivity requirements demanded by mid-term astronomy missions. The development of adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration

Features of Domain Nucleation and Growth in Co/Ru/Co Synthetic Antiferromagnets Deposited on Obliquely Sputtered Ta Underlayers

February 1, 2002
Author(s)
Alexander J. Shapiro, V S. Gornakov, Valerian I. Nikitenko, Robert D. McMichael, William F. Egelhoff Jr., Y W. Tahk, Robert D. Shull, L Gan
Obliquely sputtered Ta underlayers were used to stabilize antiferromagnetically couple Co/Ru/Co/Ta structures with a strong uniaxial anistropy. Magneto-optical indicator film (MOIF) imaging revealed nucleation and growth of domains during remagnetization

Spin Spring Behavior in Exchange Coupled Soft and High-Coercivity Hard Ferromagnets

July 1, 2001
Author(s)
Robert D. Shull, Alexander J. Shapiro, V S. Gornakov, Valerian I. Nikitenko, J.S. Jiang, H Kaper, G Leaf, S D. Bader
The magnetization reversal processes in an epitaxial Fe/Sm 2Co 7 structure were investigated using the magneto-optical indicator film technique. The dependence of the magnitude and the orientation of the structure average magnetization have been studied on

Absolute Magnetic Moment Measurements of Nickel Spheres

May 1, 2000
Author(s)
Robert D. Shull, Robert D. McMichael, L Swartzendruber, Stefan D. Leigh
The preparation and measurement of nickel spheres for use in the calibration of magnetometers are described. The absolute value of the magnetic moment of a set these spheres near room temperature was measured using the Faraday method. The variations of

Characterization of Ternary Compounds in the BaO:Fe 2 O 3 :TiO 2 System: Ba 6 Fe 45 Ti 17 O 106 and BaFe 11 Ti 3 O 23

January 1, 1999

Terrell A. Vanderah, Winnie K. Wong-Ng, B H. Toby, V. M. Browning, Robert D. Shull, Richard G. Geyer, Robert S. Roth
Single crystals of Ba 6Fe 45Ti 17O 106 and BaFe 11Ti 3O 23 were obtained as major and minor co-products, respectively, by slow-cooling an off-stoichiometric BaO:Fe 2O 3:TiO 2 melt. The former compound exhibits variable stoichiometry Ba 6Fe 48-xTi 14+xO 106

Magneto-Optical Measurements of Co-Pt (111) Multilayers
