We report the spin structure of an exchange-biased ferromagnetic oxide heterostructure, La(0.67)Sr(0.33)MnO(3)/SrRuO(3), through magnetization and polarized neutron reflectometry measurements. We reveal that the magnetization reversal process of the La(0.67)Sr(0.33)MnO(3) biased layer critically depends on the frozen-in spin structure of the SrRuO(3) biasing layer during the cooling process. Fu...

An interacting double layer system, with uniform positive background, is studied at finite temperature in the presense of a strong magnetic field corresponding to half filling in each layer. By mapping this system to composite fermions in zero field, we investigate the momentum transfer rate between the layers. As a result of the residual gauge interactions, it turns out that the low temperatur...

The magnetization dynamics in magnetic double layers is affected by spin-pump and spin-sink effects. So far, only the spin pumping and its effect on the magnetic damping has been studied. However, due to conservation of angular momentum this spin current also leads to magnetic excitation of the layer dissipating this angular momentum. In this Letter we use time resolved magneto-optic Kerr effec...

Magnetocardiographic signals, as present outside the thorax and generated by the depolarization process within the ventricles of the human heart, have been computed by using a model that incorporates the uniform double layer as the exclusive primary source. The volume conductor effects are treated by using an inhomogeneous, multicompartmental model of the thorax, based on "tailored" geometry de...

The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate a possible remineralization of human carious dentin by calcium hydroxide. Thirty-nine freshly extracted human permanent and deciduous carious teeth were split into two halves. One half was used as control and the other as experimental. In the latter, a cavity was prepared and the remaining bottom layer of demineralized dentin capped with chem...

OBJECTIVE This review integrates the literature on cavity liners and current concepts of pulp protection with the aim of establishing a better understanding of the role of calcium hydroxide as a cavity liner. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search was conducted through PubMed, MEDLINE, and Ovid for articles with the criteria for the following terms: cavity liners and bases, pulp protection, and calci...

The Helicon Double Layer Thruster, a new magnetoplasma thruster that accelerates ions to supersonic velocities using a current-free electric double layer, has been tested successfully for the first time inside a space-simulation vacuum chamber. Using a retarding field energy analyzer, the presence of a current-free double layer and the associated ion beam in argon have been confirmed for operat...

the effect of a transverse magnetic field on the boundary layer flow and heat transfer of anisothermal stretching cylinder is analyzed. the governing partial differential equations for themagnetohydrodynamic, temperature, and concentration boundary layers are transformed into a setof ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. the obtained ordinarydifferential equations ar...
