Pulsed Laser Deposition Films from a Ba 2 FeMoO 6 Target onto SrTiO 3 [001]: Chemical and Magnetic Inhomogeneity

October 22, 2018
Author(s)
Daniel M. Pajerowski, Lisa J. Krayer, Brian Kirby, Brian B. Maranville, Julie Borchers, Kyeong-Won Kim, David P. Norton
We have used a combination of x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, x-ray and neutron reflectivity, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to investigate inhomogeneities within pulsed laser deposition, Ba 2FeMoO 6 films on SrTiO 3[001]. These results

Ionic Tuning of Cobaltites at the Nanoscale

October 3, 2018

Dustin Allen Gilbert, Alexander J Grutter, Peyton D. Murray, Rajesh V. Chopdekar, Alexander M. Kane, Aleksey L. Ionin, Michael S. Lee, Steven R. Spurgeon, Brian J Kirby, Brian B. Maranville, Alpha T. N'Diaye, Apurva Mehta, Elke Arenholz, Kai Liu, Yayoi Takamura, Julie A. Borchers

reductus: A Stateless Python Data-Reduction Service with a Browser Frontend

October 1, 2018
Author(s)
Brian B. Maranville, William D. Ratcliff, Paul A. Kienzle
The online data reduction service reductus transforms measurements in experimental science from laboratory coordinates into physically meaningful quantities with accurate estimation of uncertainties based on instrumental settings and properties. This

Nanoscale Magnetic Localization in Exchange Strength Modulated Ferromagnets

August 3, 2018
Author(s)
Brian J Kirby, L. Fallarino, P. Riego, Brian B. Maranville, Casey W. Miller, A. Berger
Compositional grading can be used to continuously vary the "local" Curie temperature across the thickness of a ferromagnetic alloy thin film, allowing for a continuously moveable vertical boundary between strongly and weakly magnetized regions. The utility

In Situ Nanoscale Characterization of Water Penetration through Plasma Polymerized Coatings

August 1, 2018
Author(s)
Yang Zhou, Brian Patrick Josey, Emmanuel Anim-Danso, Brian B. Maranville, Jenia Karapetrova, Zhang Jiang, Qixin Zhou, Ali Dhinojwala, Mark D. Foster
The search continues for means of making quick determinations of the efficacy of a coating for protecting a metal surface against corrosion. One means of reducing the time scale needed to differentiate the performance of different coatings is to draw from

Self-assembled Layering of Magnetic Nanoparticles in a Ferrofluid onSilicon Surfaces

January 4, 2018
Author(s)
Katharina Theis-Brohl, Erika C. Vreeland, Andrew Gomez, Dale L. Huber, Apurve Saini, Max Wolff, Brian B. Maranville, Erik Brok, Kathryn L. Krycka, Joseph Dura, Julie Borchers
This article describes the 3D self-assembly of monodisperse colloidal magnetite nanoparticles from a dilute water-based ferrofluid onto a silicon surface and the dependence of the resultant magnetic structure with applied field. The nanoparticles assemble

Nanolayer Analysis by Neutron Reflectometry

July 18, 2017
Author(s)
Joseph A. Dura, Eric Daniel Rus, Paul Kienzle, Brian B. Maranville
Neutron reflectometry offers unique benefits for nanolayer research in green chemistry by providing accurate depth profiles of thin films and interfaces with sub-nanometer precision under in operando condition of active material in their native

Large Energy Product Enhancement in Perpendicularly Coupled MnBi/CoFe Magnetic Bilayers

August 29, 2016
Author(s)
T. R. Gao, L. Fang, S. Fackler, S. Maruyama, X. H. Zhang, L. L. Wang, T. Rana, P. Manchanda, A. Kashyap, K. Janicka, A. L. Wysocki, A. T. N'Diaye, E. Arenholz, Julie Borchers, Brian Kirby, Brian B. Maranville, K. W. Sun, M. J. Kramer, V. P. Antropov, D. D. Johnson, R. Skomski, J. Cui, I. Takeuchi
Finding rare-earth free alternatives to Nd and Sm based permanent magnets has emerged as an urgent technological challenge due to the global economic impact of price instability of rare-earth elements. Among possible candidates, MnBi is one of the few

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

Structural and Magnetic Depth Profiles of Magneto-Ionic Heterostructures Beyond the Interface Limit

July 22, 2016
Author(s)
Dustin A. Gilbert, Alexander J. Grutter, Elke Arenholz, Kai Liu, Brian J. Kirby, Julie A. Borchers, Brian B. Maranville
Electric-field control of magnetism provides a promising route towards ultralow power information storage and sensor technologies. The effects of magneto-ionic motion have so far been prominently featured in the direct modification of interface chemical

Controllable Positive Exchange Bias via Redox-Driven Oxygen Migration

March 21, 2016
Author(s)
Dustin A. Gilbert, Justin Olamit, Randy K. Dumas, Brian J. Kirby, Alexander J. Grutter, Brian B. Maranville, Elke Arenholz, Julie A. Borchers, Kai Liu
We have observed oxygen migration across buried interfaces in Gd^xdx^Fe 1-x/NiCoO films, which leads to tunable positive exchange bias over a relatively small cooling field range of 300 mT. The tunability is shown to be the result of an interfacial layer
