Thermosensitivity Through Exchange Coupling in Ferrimagnetic/Antiferromagnetic Nano-Objects for Magnetic Based Thermometry

March 6, 2023
Author(s)
Frank Abel, Eduardo De Lima Correa, Adam Biacchi, Thinh Bui, Solomon I. Woods, Angela R. Hight Walker, Cindi L. Dennis
Temperature is a fundamental physical quantity important to the physical and biological sciences. Measurement of temperature within an optically inaccessible three-dimensional (3D) volume at microscale resolution is currently limited. Thermal magnetic

Magnetic Characterization of Electrodeposited Pt1-xNix Alloy Films: Influence of Deposition Potential and the Presence of Boric Acid

September 21, 2022
Author(s)
Eric Rus, Eduardo De Lima Correa, Evan Groopman, Todd Williamson, Hussein Hijazi, Leila Kasaei, Leonard Feldman, Cindi L. Dennis, Thomas P. Moffat
Pt1-xNix (x = 0.25 to 0.92) thin films were examined for possible application as temperature sensing magnetic reporters. The alloys were prepared by charge-limited potentiostatic electrodeposition from aqueous chloride-based solutions in the presence and

Advanced characterization of magnetization dynamics in iron oxide magnetic nanoparticle tracers

January 5, 2022
Author(s)
Thinh Bui, Adam Biacchi, Brianna Bosch Correa, Cindi L. Dennis, Weston L. Tew, Angela R. Hight Walker, Solomon I. Woods
Characterization of the magnetization dynamics of single-domain magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) is important for magnetic particle imaging (MPI), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and emerging medical diagnostic/therapeutic technologies. Depending on

The Suppression of Orange-Peel Coupling in Magnetic Tunnel Junctions by Pre-Oxidation

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
William F. Egelhoff Jr., Robert McMichael, Cindi L. Dennis, Mark D. Stiles, Alexander J. Shapiro, Brian B. Maranville, Cedric J. Powell
We have have found that pre-oxidation of the bottom Co electrode in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) very effectively suppresses orange-peel coupling. The result is a free layer that is much softer. Work by others has demonstrated that pre-oxidation is

Thin Film Edge Property Measurements by Edge Saturation

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Brian B. Maranville, Robert McMichael, Cindi L. Dennis, C A. Ross, J Cheng
Two techniques are described for characterizing the magnetic properties of the edges in long, straight magnetic stripes, using vector magnetometry. The critical transverse field at which the edge magnetization saturates is determined by measuring

Design and Engineering Colloidal Magnetic Particles for Nanoscale Thermometry

September 2, 2020
Author(s)
Adam J. Biacchi, Thinh Q. Bui, Cindi L. Dennis, Solomon I. Woods, Angela R. Hight Walker
Thermometry based on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) is an emerging technology that allows for remote temperature measurements throughout a volume that are impossible to achieve using conventional probe-based or optical methods. This metrology is based on

Quasi-two-dimensional magnon identification in antiferromagnetic FePS3 via magneto-Raman spectroscopy

February 18, 2020
Author(s)
Amber D. McCreary, Jeffrey R. Simpson, Thuc T. Mai, Robert D. McMichael, Jason E. Douglas, Nicholas P. Butch, Cindi L. Dennis, Rolando Valdes Aguilar, Angela R. Hight Walker
Recently it was discovered that van der Waals-bonded magnets retain long range magnetic ordering even down to a monolayer thickness, opening many avenues in fundamental physics and potential applications of these fascinating materials. One example is FePS3

Nanoparticle Architecture Preserves Magnetic Properties during Coating to Enable Robust Multi-Modal Functionality

August 23, 2018
Author(s)
Lauren E. Woodard, Cindi L. Dennis, Julie Borchers, Anilchandra Attaluri, Esteban Velarde, Charlene Dawidczyk, Peter C. Searson, Martin G. Pomper, Robert Ivkov
Mixed metal/metal oxide nanoparticles offer potential as multifunctional platforms for disease diagnosis and therapy, or 'theranostics' [1-9]. We describe the synthesis and characterization of gold/silica/iron oxide core-shell nanoparticles, for which the

August 20, 2018
Author(s)
S. Keshavarz, N. Naghibolashrafi, Michelle E. Jamer, K. Vinson, D. Mazumdar, Cindi L. Dennis, William D. Ratcliff, Julie Borchers, A. Gupta, P. LeClair
Fe 2MnGe is a potential half-metallic full-Heusler L2 1 ferromagnetic compound with large spin polarization (approximately equal}97%) useful for various spintronic applications according to our first principles calculations using density functional theory

Electric-field control of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in multiferroic PZT- and PMN- PT//[Co/Ni] composites with negative magnetostriction

July 4, 2018
Author(s)
Daniel B. Gopman, Andrew P. Chen, Cindi L. Dennis, June W. Lau, Robert D. Shull, Gregory P. Carman, Peter Finkel, Margo Staruch, Andres Chavez
A longstanding goal of spintronics is to identify alternatives to current-generated Oersted- fields for magnetization control at the nanoscale. An emerging approach seeks to harness the voltage-induced strain in a proximal piezostrictive layer to modify
