Freezing Field Dependance Of The Exchange Bias In Uniaxial Fef2-Copt Heterosystems With Perpendicular Anisotropy, Christian Binek Jul 2000

Freezing Field Dependance Of The Exchange Bias In Uniaxial Fef2-Copt Heterosystems With Perpendicular Anisotropy, Christian Binek

Christian Binek Publications

The exchange bias effect is measured for the first time in FeF2–CoPt heterosystems with perpendicular anisotropy. The exchange previous field exhibits a strong dependence on the axial previous freezing field. This behavior is explained in terms of the microscopic spin structure at the interface, which is established on cooling to below TN. We calculate the dependence of the spin structure on the previous freezing field within the framework of an Ising model. It takes into account the Zeeman energy as well as an antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between the adjacent layers at the interface.


Effect Of Slow Compression On The Linear Stability Of An Accelerated Shear Layer, John D. Ramshaw Feb 2000

Effect Of Slow Compression On The Linear Stability Of An Accelerated Shear Layer, John D. Ramshaw

Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations

An analysis is given of the effect of a slow uniform anisotropic compression or expansion on the linear stability of a normally accelerated planar interface between two fluids with different densities and tangential velocities, i.e., a combined Kelvin-Helmholtz and Rayleigh-Taylor instability, but generalized to an arbitrary time-dependent acceleration history. The compression is presumed to be sufficiently slow that the density remains uniform within each fluid and hence depends only on time. The perturbation is taken to be sinusoidal with amplitude h(t). The time evolution of h is determined by requiring pressure continuity across the interface in the usual way. The …
