Understanding the correlation between film structure and its ferromagnetic properties is very important for applications. To this end, we have investigated epitaxial and smooth Ni films grown on MgO substrates using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and dc sputtering. To establish correlation between film morphology and structure with magnetic properties, we have used in situ and ex situ scanning tu...

The azimuthal asymmetry of J/ψ suppression in non-central heavy-ion collisions is studied within a dynamic model of J/ψ suppression in a deconfined partonic medium. Within this model, J/ψ suppression in heavy-ion collisions is caused mainly by the initial state nuclear absorption and dissociation via gluon-J/ψ scattering in deconfined partonic medium. Only the second mechanism gives arise to az...

Aligned vertical fractures introduce velocity anisotropy which is directly related to parameters, such as fracture density, fracture shape and fracture contents. Effective medium models allow us to study qPand qS-wave velocity anisotropy in rocks with aligned vertical fractures, intersecting fracture sets and aligned fractures with smallscale porosity. Spatially varying fracture density distrib...

Measurement of the azimuthal anisotropy for charged particle production in Pb+Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV and in p+Pb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

S U M M A R Y Upper-mantle seismic anisotropy has been observed using a variety of methods, including S and SKS splitting, P and Pn traveltimes, P polarization anomalies and P to S conversions, and surface waves. Care must be taken when comparing the results from different methods because of bias introduced by depth sensitivity, frequency dependence, and simplifying assumptions concerning the f...

Abstract A detailed 3‐D model of P wave isotropic velocity and azimuthal anisotropy beneath SE Asia is obtained by jointly inverting local earthquake arrival times teleseismic relative travel‐time residuals. Our results show that the high‐velocity (high‐V) subducting Australian slab has penetrated through mantle transition zone (MTZ) reached a depth ∼1,200 km Sumatra, whereas high‐V subducted t...

We have developed a technique for the inversion of teleseismic S-waveforms in terms of azimuthal anisotropy in the upper mantle. We test different models of the Earth upper mantle by transforming the observed horizontal components into a synthetic vertical component and comparing this with the observed vertical component. The optimum model is found by minimizing the difference between the synth...

In recent years, the anisotropic study has become a hot topic in the field of electromagnetics. Currently, inversion technologies of transient electromagnetic sounding data are mainly based on the case of an isotropic medium. However, the actual underground electrical structure tends to be complicated and anisotropic. It is often found that the isotropic inversion technologies do not lead to go...
