Oscillatory thickness dependence of the coercive field in three-dimensional anti-dot arrays from self-assembly

چکیده
We present studies on magnetic anti-dot nano-structures with three-dimensional s3Dd architectures, fabricated using a self-assembly template method. We find that patterning transverse to the film plane, which is a unique feature of this method, results in novel magnetic behavior. In particular, one of the key parameters for a magnetic material, the coercive field Bc, was found to demonstrate an oscillatory dependence on film thickness. © 2005 American Institute of Physics. fDOI: 10.1063/1.1847091g

Simulation of Self-Assembly of Quantum Dots in Superlattices
The self-organization of three dimensional quantum dot superlattices that spontaneously form during heteroepitaxial growth is investigated by using a three dimensional kinetic model. The model predictions show that the multilayer arrays of quantum dots can be fully or partially aligned vertically, or completely misaligned with respect to the buried islands, depending on the thickness of the spa...
متن کاملThree-dimensional calculations of the magnetic fields in a finite superconducting hollow cylinder in an applied axial magnetic field
In this study, a set of self-consistent coupled-integral equations for the local magnetic flux and current distributions in a finite superconducting hollow cylinder under an axial magnetic field has been directly derived by using the Biot-Savart law within the framework of the critical-state model. The equations were first solved numerically in the three-dimensional space before obtaining the h...
متن کاملA hierarchical self-assembly route to three-dimensional polymer-quantum dot photonic arrays.
We demonstrate a new hierarchical self-assembly strategy for the formation of photonic arrays containing quantum dots (QDs), in which sequential self-assembly steps introduce organization on progressively longer length scales, ranging from the nanoscale to the microscale regimes. The first step in this approach is the self-assembly of diblock copolymers to form block ionomer reverse micelles (S...
متن کاملIntrinsic ferroelectric coercive field
The Landau-Ginzburg theory of ferroelectricity predicts the intrinsic coercive field for polarization reversal, but the observed extrinsic coercive field is always much smaller as a result of nucleation, dynamic processes not covered by the static theory. We have realized the intrinsic coercive field for the first time, in two-dimensional Langmuir-Blodgett polymer films as thin as 1 nm. The mea...
متن کاملConductance in quantum wires by three quantum dots arrays
A noninteracting quantum-dot arrays side coupled to a quantum wire is studied. Transport through the quantum wire is investigated by using a noninteracting Anderson tunneling Hamiltonian. The conductance at zero temperature develops an oscillating band with resonances and antiresonances due to constructive and destructive interference in the ballistic channel, respectively. Moreover, we have fo...
