Magnetic media using materials with high uniaxial magneto-crystalline anisotropy, K U ,
combined with a thermal assist to overcome write field limitations have been proposed as one of …

Bulk L1/sub 0/ phase materials, such as CoPt and FePt, are known for their high magnetocrystalline
anisotropy and magnetic moment, properties that are also desirable for high density …

Rodents engage in social communication through a rich repertoire of ultrasonic vocalizations
(USVs). Recording and analysis of USVs has broad utility during diverse behavioral tests …

We report a quantitative analysis of both surface and grain-boundary scattering in Cu thin
films with independent variation in film thickness (27 to 158 nm) and grain size (35 to 425 nm) …

We use split ring resonators (SRRs) at optical frequencies to study strong coupling between
planar metamaterials and phonon vibrations in nanometer-scale dielectric layers. A series of …

The dominant role of grain boundary scattering in the low-temperature resistivity of both SiO
2 and Ta/SiO 2 encapsulated Cu thin films is demonstrated by the experimental variation …

Sputter-deposited W films with nominal thicknesses between 5 and 180 nm were prepared
by varying the base pressure prior to film deposition and by including or not including …

The underlying cause of stagnation of grain growth in thin metallic films remains a puzzle.
Here it is re-visited by means of detailed comparison of experiments and simulations, using a …

Periodically patterned Au nanorods in TiO 2 nanocavities (Au NRs@TiO 2 ) were fabricated
via magnetron sputtering followed by a thermal dewetting process. This innovative Au NRs@…

This work describes a study of the classical electrical resistivity size effect in tungsten. The
important length scale for this size effect is the isotropic average electron mean free path (…
