In this paper, we investigated the structural, magnetic, and electric properties of Pt/Co/Au/Cr 2 O 3 /Pt thin films with a Cr 2 O 3 layer in the thickness range of 5.7 to 25 nm. By using a magnetron sputtering method, a well-crystallized Cr 2 O 3 (0001) layer was formed in 5.7-nm-thick Cr 2 O 3 . All studied films showed perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The uniaxial magnetic anisotropy energy density increased as the Cr 2 O 3 thickness decreased, and 810±90 kJ/m 3 was obtained for the film with 5.7-nm-thick Cr 2 O 3 . Perpendicular exchange bias was evaluated above 80 K, and an exchange anisotropy energy density of 0.30 mJ/m 2 was observed for the film with a 25-nm-thick Cr 2 O 3 at 80 K. The exchange bias could not be observed below 18 nm. Instead, coercivity enhancement, which yields the exchange bias by precisely controlling interfacial exchange coupling, was observed. The electric resistivity was about 5 10 5 ·m for the 5.7-nm-thick Cr 2 O 3 layer, which is sufficiently high for magnetoelectric applications.","PeriodicalId":36791,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Magnetics Society of Japan","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82484046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate the grain error distribution, the expected magnetization value is calculated using the grain error probability. Prior to considering the ATI in 3D HAMR, we examine the ATI problem for conventional HAMR. Since the temperature of the LC layer in the adjacent tracks while writing in the HC layer (HC writing) exceeds the LC Curie temperature, HC writing will erase the data of the LC layer in the adjacent tracks. Therefore, we investigate 3D HAMR combined with shingled magnetic recording. The ATI in an LC (upper, namely, surface) / HC (lower) layer structure is compared with that in an HC / LC layer structure.

The MgO/Fe/Au trilayer exhibited a slightly larger interface anisotropy than the Au/Fe/Au trilayer, and the effective anisotropy of both trilayers decreased with increasing Fe thickness due to the shape anisotropy. The g-factor of both trilayers decreased from the bulk value with decreasing Fe thickness, and MgO/Fe/Au showed a slightly lower g-factor than Au/Fe/Au. The effective damping constant a of both trilayers increased with decreasing Fe thickness due to the effect of spin pumping, and interestingly the MgO/Fe/Au trilayers showed large damping compared with the Au/Fe/Au ones. These results suggest that the broken inversion symmetry in MgO/Fe/Au leads to a large PMA and damping through Rashba spin-orbit coupling.","PeriodicalId":36791,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Magnetics Society of Japan","volume":"22 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89887297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typical example of C 23 H 12 had two carbon pentagon rings among hexagon networks. Stable spin state was non-magnetic singlet state. This is contrary to pure carbon case of C 23 , which show magnetic triplet state. It was discussed that Hydrogen played an important role to diminish magnetism by creating an SP3-bond among SP2-networks. Such a structure change affected molecular vibration and finally to photoemission spectrum in infrared region. The dication-C 23 H 12 showed featured bands at 3.2, 6.3, 7.7, 8.6, 11.2, and 12.7 micrometer.

To suppress spurious voltage signals originating from the electrical contacts in the measurement circuit, we employed the following measures. We reduced the number of electrical contacts between the output of a commercial cryostat with a superconducting magnet and the nano-voltmeters. We employed silver soldering while making the electrical contacts to reduce the thermal electromotive force voltages at the remaining contacts.

Applying density functional theory to void-defect induced graphene-nano-ribbon (GNR), a detailed relationship between multiple-spin-state and structure change was studied. An equilateral triangle of an initial void having six electrons is distorted to isosceles triangle by re-bonding carbon atoms. Among possible spin-states of Sz=0/2, 2/2, 4/2 and 6/2, the most stable state was Sz=2/2. The case of Sz=4/2 is remarkable that initial flat ribbon turned to three dimensionally curled one having highly polarized spin configuration at ribbon edges. Total energy of Sz=4/2 was very close to that of Sz=2/2, which suggests coexistence of flat ribbon and curled ribbon. As a model of three dimensional graphite, bi-layered AB stacked GNR was analyzed for cases of different void position of α-site and β-site. Spin distribution was limited to the surface layer, nothing to the back layer. Distorted void triangle show 60degree clockwise rotation from αto β-site, which was consistent with experimental observation using the scanning tunneling microscope.
