Thermal Stability of Thin-film Exchange-coupled Composite Media

Zwitterion Embedded Thin Film Composite Membrane for Oily Wastewater Treatment

The recent development in oil and gas industry increases the production and consumption of oil. The enormous amount of oily wastewater produced is urged to be treated to prevent humanity and environment from being threatened. Membrane technology is an appealing alternative for oily wastewater treatment due to its design simplicity, energy efficiency and environmentally benign approach. In this ...

Thin Film Media II M. Russak, Chairman FeAl underlayers for CoCrPt thin film longitudinal media

B2 ordered FeAl films with a small, uniform grain size have been produced by rf diode sputter deposition on glass substrates. CoCrPt films grown on FeAl underlayers were found to have the ~101̄0! lamellar texture. The in-plane coercivities (Hc) of the CoCrPt/FeAl films are comparable to those of the CoCrPt/Cr films and they can be further improved by inserting a thin Cr intermediate layer betwee...

Exchange biasing in polycrystalline thin film microstructures

The effect of lateral element size, shape, and ferromagnetic layer thickness on exchange biasing in polycrystalline IrMn/CoFe thin film elements has been studied. Magnetic hysteresis loop measurements and magnetic force microscopy imaging have been used to elucidate the basic micromagnetic behavior. Magnetic imaging of micron scale elements illustrates that the magnetization reversal modes chan...

Stability of Steady States for Thin Film

Stability of an Evaporating Thin Polymer Film

Mesoscopic patterns have been observed to form in thin polymer films undergoing a fast dip-coating process. Though several mechanisms for creating of mesoscopic patterns have been proposed, the mechanism of the evaporation-induced mesoscopic self-organization is not yet fully understood. The paper aims to explain this phenomenon by studying the stability of a thin evaporating film. The analysis...
