Enhanced ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of the free layer in perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions

March 3, 2017
Author(s)
Daniel B. Gopman, Cindi L. Dennis, Robert D. McMichael, Xiaojie Hao, Zihui Wang, Xiaobin Wang, Huadong Gan, Yuchen Zhou, Jian Zhang, Yiming Huai
We report the frequency dependence of the ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of the free layer in magnetic tunnel junctions with all perpendicular-to-the-plane magnetized layers. While the magnetic-fi eld-swept linewidth nominally shows a linear growth with

Magnetic Properties and Applications of Engineered Nanomaterials

January 20, 2017
Author(s)
Cindi L. Dennis
This chapter will review the fundamentals of nanomagnetism, including its origins, the different types, and their response at the nanoscale, followed by applications of nanomagnetics. Unfortunately, due to space constraints, this chapter cannot be

Artifacts in magnetic measurements of fluid samples

August 24, 2016
Author(s)
Cindi L. Dennis, Zoe A. Boekelheide
Applications of magnetic fluids are ever increasing, as well as the corresponding need to be able to characterize these fluids in situ. Commercial magnetometers are accurate and well-characterized for solid and powder samples, but their use with fluid

Effect of Grain Constraint on the Field Requirements for Magnetocaloric Effect in Ni(sub45)Co(Sub5)Mn(Sub40)Sn(sub10) Melt-Spun Ribbons

August 21, 2016
Author(s)
N. M. Bruno, Y. J. Huang, Cindi L. Dennis, J. G. Li, Robert D. Shull, J. H. Ross Jr., Y. I. Chumlyakov, I. Karaman
The influence of grain constraint on the magnetic field levels required to complete the isothermal martensitic transformation in magnetic shape memory alloys has been demonstrated for a NiCoMnSn alloy and the magnetocaloric performance of an optimally heat

Measurement and Modeling of Polarized Specular Neutron Reflectivity in Large Magnetic Fields

August 1, 2016
Author(s)
Brian B. Maranville, Brian J Kirby, Alexander J Grutter, Paul Kienzle, Charles F. Majkrzak, Yaohua Liu, Cindi L. Dennis
The presence of a large applied magnetic field removes the degeneracy of the vacuum energy states for spin-up and spin-down neutrons. For polarized neutron reflectometry, this must be included in the reference potential energy of the Schrodinger equation

Magnetocaloric Response Of Non-Stoichiometric Ni(sub2)MnGa Alloys and the Influence of Texture

November 1, 2015
Author(s)
Michael V. McLeod, Anit Giri, Brigitte A. Paterson, Cindi L. Dennis, H L. Zhou, S C. Vogel, Yong Ho Sohn, Robert D. Shull, B S. Majumdar
Currently, there is significant interest in magnetocaloric materials for solid state refrigeration. In this work, polycrystalline Heusler alloys belonging to the Ni(sub2+x)Mn(sub 1-x) Ga family, with x between 0.08 and 0.24, were evaluated for the purpose

Internal Magnetic Structure of Nanoparticles Dominates Time-Dependent Relaxation Processes in a Magnetic Field

June 2, 2015
Author(s)
Cindi L. Dennis, Kathryn L. Krycka, Julie Borchers, Ryan D. Desautels, Johan van Lierop, Natalie F. Huls, Andrew J. Jackson, Cordula Gruettner, Robert Ivkov
Time-dependent relaxation of nanomagnets, such as magnetic nanoparticles, have applications in many disciplines of science and technology because these magnets can exhibit hysteresis and loss power when exposed to AC magnetic fields. In particular, the

Details of the Magnetization Reversal in Patterned Exchange-biased and Unbiased Thin Films

November 1, 2014
Author(s)
Robert D. Shull, Y. P. Kabanov, Andrew P. Chen, Cindi L. Dennis, V S. Gornakov, Valerian I. Nikitenko
New features of the magnetization reversal of a patterned bilayer in the form of a square mesh consisting of 16 um wide intersecting stripes of Ni(sub79)Fe(sub21) (30 nm) exchange-coupled with IrMn (10 um) on top were revealed via use of the advanced

Solution-phase and Magnetic Approach Towards Understanding Iron Gall Inks

August 13, 2012
Author(s)
Harshita Kumari, Steven R. Kline, Cindi L. Dennis, Andrew V. Mossine, Rick L. Paul, Carol A. Deakyne, Jerry L. Atwood
Crystallization of compounds of iron with polyphenols, such as iron gall inks, has been an ongoing challenge. As with iron-gall inks, iron complexes of 1,2,3-trihydroxphenol-containing marocycles have also proved difficult to crystallize. Despite this
