First, we present a brief introduction to the demands for perpendicularly magnetized materials in spintronics, magnetic recording, and perma- nent magnets applications, and the most promising candidates of tetragonal MnxGa and MnxA1 with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.

The experimental procedure resulted in a tetragonal/cubic phase ratio close to 1：1 for the as-synthesized nanoparticles. Using different surfactant/solvent proportions in the process allowed control of particle morphology from nanospheres to nanowires. Monodisperse nanorods with lengths of 60 ＋ 5 nm and diameters of 2-3 nm were self-assembled in a perpendicular oriented array onto a substrate surface using hexadecylamine as organic spacer. Magnetic alignment and properties assigned, respectively, to the shape anisotropy and the tetragonal phase suggest that the self-assembled materials are a strong candidate to solve the problem of random magnetic alignment observed in FePt nanospheres leading to applications in ultrahigh magnetic recording （UHMR） systems capable of achieving a performance of the order of terabits/in2.展开更多

Howeve...Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy-based magnetic tunnel junctions(p-MTJs) with low Gilbert damping constant(α) are of particular interest for fast and low-power consumption magnetic random-access memory(MRAM). However, obtaining a faster switching speed and lower power consumption is still a big challenge. Herein, we report a Mo-based perpendicular double free layer structure with a low Gilbert damping constant of 0.02 relative to W-based films, as measured by time-resolved magnetooptical Kerr effect equipment. To show the influence of different film structures on the Gilbert damping constant, we measured the Mo-based single free layer. Thereafter, we deposited the full stacks with the Mo-based double free layer and obtained a high tunneling magnetoresistance of 136.3% and high thermal stability. The results of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HR-TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS) showed that the Mo-based films had better crystallinity,sharper interfaces, and weaker diffusion than the W-based films and thus produced a weaker external contribution of the Gilbert damping constant. As a result of the weak spin-orbit coupling in the Mo-based structure, the intrinsic contribution of the Gilbert damping constant was also weak, thereby leading to the small Gilbert damping constant of the Mo-based stacks. In addition, the macro-spin simulation results demonstrated that the magnetization switching by the spin transfer torque of the Mo-based MTJs was faster than that of the W-based MTJs. These findings help to understand the mechanism behind the good performance of Mo-based p-MTJ films and show the great promise of these structures in low-power consumption MRAM or other spintronic devices.展开更多

One of the most popular techniques to quantify the SOTs is the “switching angle shift”, where the applied direct current is assumed to shift, via domain wall depinning during anti-domain expansion, the switching angle of a perpendicular magnetization in a linear proportional manner under a large rotating magnetic field. Here, we report that, for the most commonly employed perpendicular magnetization heterostructures in spintronics(e.g., those based on FeCoB, Co, and Co/Ni multilayers), the switching angle shift considerably misestimates the SOT within the domain wall depinning analysis of the slope of linear-in-current scaling and may also have a non-zero residual value at zero direct current. Our experiments and simulations unveil that the switching angle shift is most likely dominated by chiral asymmetric nucleation rather than expansion of anti-domains. The in-plane field from external magnets and current-induced SOTs lowers the perpendicular nucleation field and thus reduces the required switching angle, ultimately leading to an underestimation of SOTs by domain wall depinning analysis. These results have advanced our understanding of magnetization switching in spintronic devices.展开更多

Magnetization measurements of the Co/Pt multilayers were performed to select the reference and free layers. The selection criteria are square magnetic hysteresis loops, weaker current shunting effect, and proper coercivity. The optimal reference layer and free layer are Pt（5.0 nm）/[Co（0.4 nm）/Pt（0.6 nm）]3/Co（0.4 nm）/Cu（3.0 nm）and Cu（3.0 nm）/[Co（0.4 nm）/Pt（1.5 nm）]4, respectively.The resulting pseudo SV exhibits two well-separated hysteresis loops when the field is applied perpendicular to the film plane. The minor hysteresis loop corresponding to the free layer shifts toward negative direction of the magnetic field axis, indicating ferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling between the two magnetic layers. The coupling also enhances the coercivity（HC） of both layers. The perpendicular giant magnetoresistance（GMR） of 2.7 % is achieved with current in plane measurement. The GMR first increases when Pt seed layer is thickened, reaches a maximum of 3.0 % at 4 nm and then decreases with the further increase of thickness. But thicker Cu spacer layer always lowers the GMR of the SV.展开更多

文摘We investigate the energy bands,magnetism,and superconductivity of bilayer octagraphene with A-A stackingunder a perpendicular electric field.A tight-binding model is used to analyze the band structure of the system.The doubling of the unit cell results in each band of the single layer splitting into two.We find that applyinga perpendicular electric field increases the band splitting.As the electric field strength increases,the nestingof the Fermi surface(FS)weakens,eventually disrupting the antiferromagnetic order,and bilayer octagrapheneexhibits superconductivity.Spin fluctuations can induce unconventional superconductivity with s±-wave pairing.Applying a perpendicular electric field to bilayer octagraphene parent weakens the nesting of the FS,ultimatelykilling the spin-density-wave(SDW)ordered state and transitioning it into the superconducting state,whichworks as a doping effect.We use the random-phase approximation approach to obtain the pairing eigenvaluesand pairing symmetries of the perpendicular electric field-tuned bilayer octagraphene in the weak coupling limit.By tuning the strength of the perpendicular electric field,the critical interaction strength for SDW order can bemodified,which in turn may promote the emergence of unconventional superconductivity.

文摘When a perpendicular magnetic field penetrates a thin slab of a type-Ⅱ superconductor it produces vortices,with one vortex per flux quantum,h/2e.The vortices interact repulsively and form an ordered array(Abrikosov lattice)in clean systems,while strong disorder changes the lattice into a vortex glass.The collective vortex dynamics is extremely vulnerable to external perturbations.Consequently,although of great importance,experimental observation is limited.Here we investigate type-Ⅱ superconducting films(PdBi_(2)and NbSe_(2))with surface acoustic waves(SAWs)at mK temperature.When sweeping the magnetic field at an extremely slow rate,we observe a series of spikes in the attenuation and velocity of the SAW,on average separated in field by approximately Hc1.We propose the following scenario:The vortex-free region at the edges of the film produces an edge barrier across which the vortices can enter or leave.When the applied field changes,the induced supercurrents flowing along this edge region lowers this barrier until there is an instability.At that point,vortices avalanche into(or out of)the bulk and change the vortex crystal,suggested by the sharp jump in each such spike.The vortices then gradually relax to a new stable pinned configuration,leading to a~30 s relaxation after the jump.Our observation enriches the limited experimental evidence on the important topic of real-time vortex dynamics in superconductors.

文摘Accurate quantification of the spin–orbit torques(SOTs) is critical for the identification and applications of new spin-orbitronic effects. One of the most popular techniques to quantify the SOTs is the “switching angle shift”, where the applied direct current is assumed to shift, via domain wall depinning during anti-domain expansion, the switching angle of a perpendicular magnetization in a linear proportional manner under a large rotating magnetic field. Here, we report that, for the most commonly employed perpendicular magnetization heterostructures in spintronics(e.g., those based on FeCoB, Co, and Co/Ni multilayers), the switching angle shift considerably misestimates the SOT within the domain wall depinning analysis of the slope of linear-in-current scaling and may also have a non-zero residual value at zero direct current. Our experiments and simulations unveil that the switching angle shift is most likely dominated by chiral asymmetric nucleation rather than expansion of anti-domains. The in-plane field from external magnets and current-induced SOTs lowers the perpendicular nucleation field and thus reduces the required switching angle, ultimately leading to an underestimation of SOTs by domain wall depinning analysis. These results have advanced our understanding of magnetization switching in spintronic devices.

文摘Pd/Co_(2)MnSi(CMS)/Co/Pd multilayer films were designed based on the idea of combining highly spin-polarized materials with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy(PMA)films.The PMA of Pd/CMS/Co/Pd multilayer films was studied by optimizing the growth conditions and thickness of each film layer.The optimal structure of the multilayer films was Pd(6 nm)/CMS(5 nm)/Co(2 nm)/Pd(1 nm).Its abnormal Hall resistance(R_(Hall)),coercivity(H_(c))and effective magnetic anisotropy constant(Keff)are 0.08Ω,284 Oe and 1.36 Merg/cm^(3),respectively,which are 100%,492%,and 183%higher than the corresponding values(0.04Ω,48 Oe,and 0.48 Merg/cm^(3))of the Pd(6 nm)/Co(1 nm)/Pd(3 nm)trilayer films.The analysis shows that the increases of the above values are the result of the Pd/CMS interface effect and CMS/Co interface ferromagnetic(FM)coupling,and that it is closely related to the thickness of each film layer in the multilayer films and the growth conditions of the multilayer films.

文摘With the rapid development of deep learning neural networks,new solutions have emerged for addressing fluid flow problems in porous media.Combining data-driven approaches with physical constraints has become a hot research direction,with physics-informed neural networks(PINNs) being the most popular hybrid model.PINNs have gained widespread attention in subsurface fluid flow simulations due to their low computational resource requirements,fast training speeds,strong generalization capabilities,and broad applicability.Despite success in homogeneous settings,standard PINNs face challenges in accurately calculating flux between irregular Eulerian cells with disparate properties and capturing global field influences on local cells.This limits their suitability for heterogeneous reservoirs and the irregular Eulerian grids frequently used in reservoir.To address these challenges,this study proposes a physics-informed graph neural network(PIGNN) model.The PIGNN model treats the entire field as a whole,integrating information from neighboring grids and physical laws into the solution for the target grid,thereby improving the accuracy of solving partial differential equations in heterogeneous and Eulerian irregular grids.The optimized model was applied to pressure field prediction in a spatially heterogeneous reservoir,achieving an average L_(2) error and R_(2) score of 6.710×10^(-4)and 0.998,respectively,which confirms the effectiveness of model.Compared to the conventional PINN model,the average L_(2) error was reduced by 76.93%,the average R_(2) score increased by 3.56%.Moreover,evaluating robustness,training the PIGNN model using only 54% and 76% of the original data yielded average relative L_(2) error reductions of 58.63% and 56.22%,respectively,compared to the PINN model.These results confirm the superior performance of this approach compared to PINN.
文摘The Counter-Propagation Deduction (CPD) method suggested by the authors is a new one for analyzing electromagnetic (EM) field in stratified media. The mechanism or the method is briefly introduced, and the rield in a layered medium in the presence or slant incidence of a perpendicularly or parallelly polarized electric wave is investigated. Some illustrative examples show that the method is capable of providing the direct mathematic expressions of the fields in an arbitrary layer, and is convenient for numerical evaluation through an unified program, irrespective of the number of medium layers.

文摘In order to investigate the basic mechanical properties and stress strain relationship model for bamboo scrimber manufactured based on a new technique,a large quantities of experiments have been carried out.Based on the analysis of the test results,the following conclusions can be drawn.Two main typical failure modes were classified for bamboo scrimber specimens both under tension parallel to grain and tension perpendicular to grain.Brittle failure happened for all tensile tests.The slope values for the elastic stages have bigger discreteness compared with those for the specimens under tensile parallel to grain.The failure modes for bamboo scrimber specimens under compression parallel to grain could be divided into four.Only one main failure mode happened both for the bending specimens and the shear specimens.With the COV values of 28.64 and 25.72 respectively,the values for the strength and elastic modulus under tensile perpendicular to grain have the largest discreteness for bamboo scrimber.From the point of CHV values,the relationship among the mechanical parameters for bamboo scrimber were proposed based on the test results.Compared with other green building materials,bamboo scrimber manufactured based on a new technique has better mechanical performance and could be used in construction area.Three stress strain relationship models which are four-linear model,quadratic function model,and cubic function model were proposed for bamboo scrimber specimens manufactured based on a new technique.The latter two models gives better prediction for stress strain relationship in elastic plastic stage.

文摘In order to investigate the influence of length and compression directions upon behaviour of parallel bamboo strand lumber(PBSL)specimens,240 axial compression tests have been performed.With three similar one different typical failure modes,the mechanical performance for PBSL specimens under compression parallel to grain and perpendicular to grain are different as a whole.From the point of the characteristic values,the compression strength parallel to grain is 2.1 times of the compression strength perpendicular to grain.The elastic modulus for compression parallel to grain is 3.64 times of the compression strength perpendicular to grain.While the compression ratios along two compression directions are equal to each other.The bigger Poisson ratios for one typical side surface is 3.93 times of that for another typical side surface for PBSL specimens under compression perpendicular to grain,and the bigger value is equal to that for PBSL specimens under compression parallel to grain.Length can influence the mechanical properties of the PBSL specimens.The size 50 mm×50 mm×100 mm should be good choice for the standard or code to measure the compression strength.PBSL materials have better ductility under compression parallel to grain than that under compression perpendicular to grain.Stress-strain relationship models were proposed for PBSL specimens under compression parallel to grain and perpendicular to grain,respectively.These proposed models gave a good agreement with the test results.

文摘Pseudo spin valves（SVs） exhibiting perpendicular magnetic anisotropy were prepared by magnetron sputtering. Magnetization measurements of the Co/Pt multilayers were performed to select the reference and free layers. The selection criteria are square magnetic hysteresis loops, weaker current shunting effect, and proper coercivity. The optimal reference layer and free layer are Pt（5.0 nm）/[Co（0.4 nm）/Pt（0.6 nm）]3/Co（0.4 nm）/Cu（3.0 nm）and Cu（3.0 nm）/[Co（0.4 nm）/Pt（1.5 nm）]4, respectively.The resulting pseudo SV exhibits two well-separated hysteresis loops when the field is applied perpendicular to the film plane. The minor hysteresis loop corresponding to the free layer shifts toward negative direction of the magnetic field axis, indicating ferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling between the two magnetic layers. The coupling also enhances the coercivity（HC） of both layers. The perpendicular giant magnetoresistance（GMR） of 2.7 % is achieved with current in plane measurement. The GMR first increases when Pt seed layer is thickened, reaches a maximum of 3.0 % at 4 nm and then decreases with the further increase of thickness. But thicker Cu spacer layer always lowers the GMR of the SV.

文摘Graphene-based materials on wearable electronics and bendable displays have received considerable attention for the mechanical flexibility,superior electrical conductivity,and high surface area,which are proved to be one of the most promising candidates of stretching and wearable sensors.However,polarized electric charges need to overcome the barrier of graphene sheets to cross over flakes to penetrate into the electrode,as the graphene planes are usually parallel to the electrode surface.By introducing electron-induced perpendicular graphene(EIPG)electrodes incorporated with a stretchable dielectric layer,a flexible and stretchable touch sensor with"in-sheet-chargestransportation"is developed to lower the resistance of carrier movement.The electrode was fabricated with porous nanostructured architecture design to enable wider variety of dielectric constants of only 50-μm-thick Ecoflex layer,leading to fast response time of only 66 ms,as well as high sensitivities of 0.13 kPa-1 below 0.1 kPa and 4.41 MPa-1 above 10 kPa,respectively.Moreover,the capacitance-decrease phenomenon of capacitive sensor is explored to exhibit an object recognition function in one pixel without any other integrated sensor.This not only suggests promising applications of the EIPG electrode in flexible touch sensors but also provides a strategy for internet of things security functions.
