In this communication we present a study of the electronic structure of partially disordered bulk and (100) thin film of quaternary pseudo-Heusler alloy Co2Fe0.4Cr0.6Al in the L21 phase using the Augmented Space recursion (ASR) in a scalar-relativistic tight binding linear muffin-tin orbitals (TB-LMTO) basis. We study the orbital resolved magnetic moment contributions of the constituents of the...

Oxygen vacancies have a profound effect on the magnetic, electronic, and transport properties of transition metal oxide materials. Here, we studied the influence of oxygen vacancies on the magnetoresistance (MR) properties of SrRu1 - x Fe x O3 - δ epitaxial thin films (x = 0.10, 0.20, and 0.30). For this purpose, we synthesized highly strained epitaxial SrRu1 - x Fe x O3 - δ thin films with ato...

Magnetic field sensors based on organic thin-film materials have attracted considerable interest in recent years as they can be manufactured at very low cost and on flexible substrates. However, the technological relevance of such magnetoresistive sensors is limited owing to their narrow magnetic field ranges (∼30 mT) and the continuous calibration required to compensate temperature fluctuation...

The use of thin magnetic film memories for high speed computers has been well established. More recently, efforts have been made to adapt thin-film memory elements for operation in a phase script mode by using drive fields at two different frequencies to switch and read the state of the memory element. The resulting memory system is uniquely suited for operation in a parametron computer where i...

We consider a simple model for a superlattice composed of a thin magnetic film placed between two bulk superconductors. The magnetic film is modelled by a planar but otherwise arbitrary distribution of magnetic dipoles and the superconductors are treated in the London approximation. Due to the linearity of the problem, we are able to compute the magnetic energy of the film in the presence of th...

An extended meniscus of a ferrofluid solution on a silicon surface is subjected to axisymmetric, non-uniform magnetic field resulting in significant forward movement of the thin liquid film. Image analyzing interferometry is used for accurate measurement of the film thickness profile, which in turn, is used to determine the instantaneous slope and the curvature of the moving film. The recorded ...

In this study, an iron oxide magnetic microparticles and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (MMPs-PDMS) composite material was employed to demonstrate a simple high-strength reversible magnetic bonding method. This paper presents the casting of opaque-view (where optical inspection through the microchannels was impossible) and clear-view (where optical inspection through the microchannel was possible) MMPs...

We demonstrate a template-assisted colloidal self-assembly approach for magnetic metasurfaces on macroscopic areas. The choice of anisotropic colloidal particle geometry, assembly pattern and metallic film is based on rational design criteria, taking advantage of mirror-charge effects for gold nanorods placed on gold film. Monodisperse gold nanorods prepared utilizing wet-chemistry are arranged...

Over the past decade, many applications were intended for filtration by membrane technology especially the thin film composite (TFC) membranes. In advanced developments of thin film membranes, an attempt was made to spread a new generation of membranes called thin film nano composite (TFN) membranes. However, in the last generation of TFNs, an ultrathin selective film of nanoparticles is coated...
