Dilute magnetic semiconducting oxide thin films and nanostructures

Lead Institution
University of Washington
Principal Investigator
Kannan Krishnan
Project type
Exploratory Research
As JIN Award 2002, we propose to investigate the growth, magnetic properties and spin-dependent transport in the recently discovered Co-doped anatase ferromagnetic semiconductor thin films. Emphasis…

Exchange bias in Fe/MnPd bilayers

Lead Institution
University of Washington
Principal Investigator
Goran Blomqvist
Project type
Exploratory Research
We are investigating the magnetic exchange bias in Fe/MnPd bilayers. The Fe layers are ferromagnetic whereas the MnPd layers are antiferromagnetic. SQUID, VSM, XMCD and neutron scattering will be…

Spin valve with perpendicular anisotropy for spin torque experiments

Lead Institution
University of Washington
Principal Investigator
Kannan Krishnan
Project type
Exploratory Research
We propose a research project directed at the study of spin torque effects in multilayer spin valves with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy for magnetic random access memory applications. The spin…

L10 Ordering and Microstructure of FePd Epitaxial Film with Pt Additive

Lead Institution
University of Washington
Principal Investigator
Kannan Krishnan
Project type
Limited Scope
Nowadays, perpendicular magnetic anisotropic (PMA) system draws much attention due to its promising application in Bit Patterned Media (BPM) as the next generation of ultrahigh density magnetic…

Common Architecture Chemistry Components for Terascale Simulations

Lead Institution
Sandia National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Joseph Kenny
Project type
Exploratory Research
We plan to utilize the HP cluster for porting and testing of our Common Component Architecture infrastructure and components on the IA64 architecture. In addition, we will utilize this platform in…

Composition characterization of ZnO:Cr & ZnO:Co

Lead Institution
University of Washington
Principal Investigator
Bradley Roberts
Project type
Exploratory Research
Thin film samples of ZnO:Cr and ZnO:Co have been grown via the co-sputtering method. Our initial magnetic measurements indicate that ZnO:Cr is ferromagnetic up to and above room temperature which is…

Characterization of sputter deposited Co doped TiO2 films

Lead Institution
University of Washington
Principal Investigator
Kelli Griffin
Project type
Exploratory Research
Sputter deposited Co:TiO2 films are of interest as part of the joint NSF Oxide Spintronics project between UW and PNNL. The films were sputtered onto LaAlO3 substrates, and have shown enhanced…
