Study Of The Heavy Fermion/Spin-Glass System, Ce1-X GdX Al3, Using 155Gd Mossbauer Spectroscopy, Nicholas G. Ruggiero
Physics Theses & Dissertations
The magnetic properties of Ce1-xGdx.Al3 have been studied using 155Gd Mossbauer spectroscopy. It has been shown that the magnetic moments of the host GdAl3 are constrained to the basal plane. The magnetic properties of GdAl3 can best be described in the framework of RKKY theory. Prior studies of Ce1-xGdxAl3, have revealed complex magnetic behavior throughout the series. As observed with Mossbauer spectroscopy magnetic ordering occurs for x ≥ 0.5, though not at the reported spin glass temperatures. For x = 0.23 and x = 0.18, the …
A Case Study In Software Reuse: The Rntds Architecture, Barry J. Stevens
A Case Study In Software Reuse: The Rntds Architecture, Barry J. Stevens
Computer Science Theses & Dissertations
It has been asserted that the most significant gains in software productivity will come from increased levels of software reuse. Some economic models for predicting savings through software reuse exist, but none are based on actual project experience. This paper surveys those models and presents the results of a case study, the Restructured Naval Tactical Data Systems (RNTDS) architecture, in the light of those models. According to the models, software reuse via the RNTDS architecture has enabled the production of fourteen major computer programs at five to twenty-one percent of the cost to create them without software reuse. Organizational characteristics …

Characterization Of Knot Complements In The 4-Sphere, Vo Thanh Liem, Gerard A. Venema
Characterization Of Knot Complements In The 4-Sphere, Vo Thanh Liem, Gerard A. Venema
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
Knot complements in S4 are characterized as follows: A connected open set W ⊂ S4 is homeomorphic to the complement of some locally flat 2-sphere in S4 if and only if H1(W) is infinite cyclic, W has one end, and the fundamental group of that end is infinite cyclic. Applications include a characterization of weakly flat 2-spheres in S4 and a complement theorem for 2-spheres in S4.

A Distributed Object-Oriented Discrete Event-Driven Simulation Environment-Dodese, Min Chen
A Distributed Object-Oriented Discrete Event-Driven Simulation Environment-Dodese, Min Chen
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A new distributed object-oriented discrete event-driven simulation environment, DODESE, is developed to provide a common framework for simulation model design and implementation. The DODESE can be used to define a simulation including all the simulation objects participating in the simulation while the execution of the simulation can be interactively monitored on DODESE. The DODESE system has combined the strengths of both object-oriented paradigms and data base technology to make computer simulation more powerful and has achieved the goals of object-orientation, distribution, reusability, maintainability and extensibility. The system runs on two Sun workstations concurrently connected by an Ethernet. One of the …

Magnetic And Structural Properties Of Co/Cr Multilayers With In-Plane Anisotropy, D. Wang, David J. Sellmyer
Magnetic And Structural Properties Of Co/Cr Multilayers With In-Plane Anisotropy, D. Wang, David J. Sellmyer
David Sellmyer Publications
Previously we studied the effect of Cr spacer layer on in-plane coercivity in Co/Cr multilayered films. It was found that the high coercivity is related to the easy axis in-plane orientation and the character of the composition modulation. In this paper, the dependence of the saturation magnetization as a function of Co layer thickness is used to study the interface structure. The layer structure is confirmed by small angle x-ray diffractometry for typical films. The magnetic interaction among the grains is studied by examining deviation from the behavior predicted by the Wohlfarth model for noninteracting single-domain particles. Journal of Applied …

Studies Of Domain Dynamics In Amorphous Dy/Fe Multilayers, Roger D. Kirby, J.X. Shen, Z.S. Shan, David J. Sellmyer
Roger Kirby Publications
Compositionally-modulated Dy/Fe films were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering onto glass substrates. For this series of samples, the Dy thickness was fixed at 5 Å, while the Fe thickness was varied from 4 to 6 Å. To study the magnetization reversal, the samples were first saturated. The magnetic field was then reversed to a value near the coercive field, and the Kerr rotation was measured as a function of time after reversal. We interpret our results in terms of the model of domain reversal first described by Fatuzzo for ferroelectrics. For some Fe thicknesses, we found that the reversal process …

Peter Dowben Publications
By growing gadolinium films on W(110), it has been possible to observe the development of the Gd(0001) band structure with increasing film thickness. The changes in the 5d bands as a result of exposure to oxygen or the development of the valence-band structure with increasing film thickness lead to changes in the 5p multiplet oscillator strengths. These changes are a result of the influence of the band structure upon the final-state effects that give rise to such multiplet structures. This study provides conclusive evidence that there is a 5d contribution to the shallow 5p multiplet photoemission …

Peter Dowben Publications
We have deposited CoxNiy-C films with a variety of compositions to verify dependence of the saturation magnetization on the composition. These experiments suggest that we can produce CoxNiy-C films with a variety of magnetic properties. The CoxNiy-C films were fabricated by ultraviolet decomposition of cobaltocene and nickelocene. We demonstrated that the photolytic decomposition of these metallocenes produces cyclopentadienyl (C5H5) species, consistent with recent studies of the energetics of the ligand metal bonds.

Temperature And Thickness Dependence Of Coercivity And Magnetization Of Co/Cu And Co/Si Multilayers, S. Nafis, John A. Woollam, Z.S. Shan, David J. Sellmyer
David Sellmyer Publications
Co/Cu and Co/Si multilayers of total thickness ~3000 Å were prepared by rf and dc magnetron sputtering. The nominal thicknesses of the individual layers were in the range of 4 to 100 Å. A large coercivity (Hc) at 10 K was observed for very thin layers of Co in Co/Cu samples, and it decreased with increase of the Co layer thickness. For very thin layers of Co in Co/Cu samples, the layer behaved superparamagnetically. Similar behavior was not to be observed in Co/Si samples. With increased substrate temperature (Ts) during deposition, Hc was …
The Process-Controlled Magnetic Properties Of Nanostructured Co/Ag Composite Films, Sy_Hwang Liou, S. Malhotra, Z.S. Shan, David J. Sellmyer, S. Nafis, John A. Woollam, C.P. Reed, R.J. Deangelis, G.M. Chow

Sy-Hwang Liou Publications
Nanostructured Co/Ag composite films were prepared by magnetron sputtering using a single target. The average crystallite sizes of Co and Ag in the films depend on the deposition conditions. As the substrate temperature increases from 100 °C to 600 °C, the average Ag crystallite size increases from 39 to 452 Å, and the average Co crystallite size increases from Å in the film with 39 vol. % of Co. The films with 39 vol. % of Co and prepared at 400 °C substrate temperature showed a maximum magnetic coercivity of 565 Oe at 6 K. We have studied the correlation …

Temperature And Layer-Thickness Dependencies Of Kerr Rotation In Dy/Co Multilayers, Z.S. Shan, J.X. Shen, Roger D. Kirby, Sy_Hwang Liou, David J. Sellmyer
Sy-Hwang Liou Publications
Amorphous Dy/Co multilayers with the individual layer thickness between 4 and 10 Å in steps of 0.5 to 1 Å were studied systematically over the temperature range 100–300 K. The Kerr rotation increases as temperature decreases, or as Co content increases and the coercivity increases both in the low temperature region and in the vicinity of the compensation point. These characteristics were analyzed in terms of simple models of the magnetic structure and magnetization reversal.
Sputtering Pressure Effect On Microstructure Of Surface And Interface, And On Coercivity Of Co/Pt Multilayers, Ping He, William A. Mcgahan, S. Nafis, John A. Woollam, Z.S. Shan, Sy_Hwang Liou, F. Sequeda, T. Mcdaniel, H. Do

Sy-Hwang Liou Publications
Thin Co/Pt multilayers were prepared on Si and glass substrates by sputtering with Ar pressures ranging from 2.5 to 15 mTorr. The bilayer structure of the samples was Co(3 Å)/Pt(15 Å)×17, and all samples had the easy axis of magnetization perpendicular to the sample surface as determined with a SQUID magnetometer. All samples retained the layered structure, as revealed by low-angle x-ray diffraction. In addition, diffraction peaks due to the formation of Co-Pt compounds (presumably at the interfaces between Co and Pt) were identified. The coercivity of samples changed from about 400 Oe for films deposited at low Ar sputtering …
Effects Of Replication On The Duration Of Failure In Distributed Databases, Donald B. Johnson, Larry Raab
Effects Of Replication On The Duration Of Failure In Distributed Databases, Donald B. Johnson, Larry Raab
Computer Science Technical Reports
Replicating data objects has been suggested as a means of increasing the performance of a distributed database system in a network subject to link and site failures. Since a network may partition as a consequence of such failures, a data object may become unavailable from a given site for some period of time. In this paper we study duration failure, which we define as the length of time, once the object becomes unavailable from a particular site, that the object remains unavailable. We show that, for networks composed of highly-reliable components, replication does not substantially reduce the duration of failure. …
Availability Issues In Data Replication In Distributed Database, Donald B. Johnson, Larry Raab
Availability Issues In Data Replication In Distributed Database, Donald B. Johnson, Larry Raab
Computer Science Technical Reports
Replication of data at more than one site in a distributed database has been reported to increase the availability in data in systems where sites and links are subject to failure. We have shown in results summarized in this paper that in many interesting cases the advantage is slight. A well-placed single copy is available to transactions almost as much of the time as is correct replicated data no matter how ingeniously it is managed. We explain these findings in terms of the behavior of the partitions that form in networks where components fail. We also show that known and …

Single-Electron Charging Effects In Insulating Wires, Venkat Chandrasekhar, Zvi Ovadyahu, Richard A. Webb
Single-Electron Charging Effects In Insulating Wires, Venkat Chandrasekhar, Zvi Ovadyahu, Richard A. Webb
Faculty Publications
We present measurements of the transport properties of 0.75-μm-long, narrow, insulating indium oxide wires and rings. These devices have no apparent tunnel barriers, yet they exhibit effects similar to those found in series arrays of very small-capacitance tunnel junctions: highly nonlinear I-V characteristics and a zero-bias conductance which is periodic in a voltage applied by means of a lateral gate. These effects are due to the influence of single-electron charging on transport through localized states in the insulating regime.

Measurements Of Deuteron Threshold Electrodisintegration: A Probe Of Short-Range Meson Exchange, K S. Lee, W Schmitt, H Baghaei, S Churchwell, R S. Hicks, R A. Miskimen, Gerald Alvin Peterson, K Wang
Gerald Alvin Peterson
The threshold electrodisintegration of the deuteron was measured with good energy resolution to a maximum four-momentum transfer squared of 42 fm-2. The data are compared with meson exchange calculations that show sensitivity to the choice of exchange-current form factor, the nucleon electromagnetic form factors, and the nucleon-nucleon potential. While conventional theories can give a reasonable description of the data, comparison of the data with quark cluster calculations shows poor agreement.

Dmsp F7 Observations Of A Substorm Field‐Aligned Current, R. E. Lopez, Harlan E. Spence, C. Meng
Dmsp F7 Observations Of A Substorm Field‐Aligned Current, R. E. Lopez, Harlan E. Spence, C. Meng
Physics & Astronomy
In this paper we present observations of a substorm field-aligned current (FAC) system that DMSP F7 traversed just after 0300 UT on April 25, 1985. Ground magnetometer data show that a major substorm was in progress at that time and that DMSP F7 flew through a region of predominantly upward FAC. The DMSP F7 magnetic field data are consistent with this interpretation. The precipitating particle data suggest that there were three distinct large-scale FAC systems. In ascending latitude these were a downward current, an upward current, and a paired upward/downward current system. We identify the first current, which was coincident …
Variation Of Superparamagnetic Properties With Iron Loading In Mammalian Ferritin, Richard B. Frankel, G. C. Papaefthymiou, G. D. Watt
Variation Of Superparamagnetic Properties With Iron Loading In Mammalian Ferritin, Richard B. Frankel, G. C. Papaefthymiou, G. D. Watt
Physics
The average blocking temperatures of ferritin molecules containing differing amounts of iron were determined by Mossbauer spectroscopy. The results imply that the magnetic anisotropy of the ferritin core particles is a function of particle volume. By addition of 57Fe to ferritin core particles it was determined that, at a given temperature within the superpara-magnetic temperature region, the “last-in” ferric ions have average relaxation times that are shorter than those of the bulk ferric ions.
