X-band ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) was used to characterize in-plane magnetic anisotropies in rectangular and square arrays of circular nickel and Permalloy microdots. In the case of a rectangular lattice, as interdot distances in one direction decrease, the in-plane uniaxial anisotropy field increases, in good agreement with a simple theory of magnetostatically interacting uniformly magnetized dots. In the case of a square lattice a four-fold anisotropy of the in-plane FMR field Hr was found when the interdot distance a gets comparable to the dot diameter D. This anisotropy, not expected in the case of uniformly magnetized dots, was explained by a non-uniform magnetization m(r) in a dot in response to dipolar forces in the patternedmagnetic structure. It is well described by an iterative solution of a continuous variation procedure. In the case of perpendicular magnetization multiple sharp resonance peaks were observed below the main FMR peak in all the samples, and the relative positions of these peaks were independent of the interdot separations. Quantitative description of the observed multiresonance FMR spectra was given using the dipole-exchange spin wave dispersion equation for a perpendicularly magnetized film where in-plane wave vector is quantized due to the finite dot radius, and the inhomogenetiy of the intradot static demagnetization field in the nonellipsoidal dot is taken into account. It was demonstrated that ferromagnetic resonance force microscopy (FMRFM) can be used to determine both local and global properties of patterned submicron ferromagnetic samples. Local spectroscopy together with the possibility to vary the tip-sample spacing enables the separation of those two contributions to a FMRFM spectrum. The global FMR properties of circular submicron dots determined using magnetic resonance force microscopy are in a good agreement with results obtained using conventional FMR and with theoretical descriptions.

AbstractBrillouin light scattering (BLS) is an emerging method for cell imaging and characterisation. It allows elasticity-related contrast, optical resolution and label-free operation. Phonon microscopy detects BLS from laser generated coherent phonon fields to offer an attractive route for imaging since, at GHz frequencies, the phonon wavelength is sub-optical. Using phonon fields to image single cells is challenging as the signal to noise ratio and acquisition time are often poor. However, recent advances in the instrumentation have enabled imaging of fixed and living cells. This work presents the first experimental characterisation of phonon-based axial resolution provided by the response to a sharp edge. The obtained axial resolution is up to 10 times higher than that of the optical system used to take the measurements. Validation of the results are obtained with various polymer objects, which are in good agreement with those obtained using atomic force microscopy. Edge localisation, and hence profilometry, of a phantom boundary is measured with accuracy and precision of approximately 60 nm and 100 nm respectively. Finally, 3D imaging of fixed cells in culture medium is demonstrated.

A critical thermodynamic assessment of the metastable c-TiAlZrN coatings, which are reported to spinodally decompose into triple domains, i.e., c-TiN, c-AlN, and c-ZrN, was performed via the CALculation of PHAse Diagram (CALPHAD) technique based on the limited experimental data as well as the first-principles computed free energies. The metastable c-TiAlZrN coatings were modeled as a pseudo-ternary phase consisting of c-TiN, c-AlN and c-ZrN species, and described using the substitutional solution model. The thermodynamic descriptions for the three boundary binaries were directly taken from either the CALPHAD assessment or the first-principles results available in the literature except for a re-adjustment of the pseudo-binary c-AlN/c-ZrN system based on the experimental phase equilibria in the pseudo-ternary system. The good agreement between the calculated phase equilibria and the experimental data over the wide temperature range was obtained, validating the reliability of the presently obtained thermodynamic descriptions for the c-TiAlZrN system. Based on the present thermodynamic description, different phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties can be easily predicted. It is anticipated that the present thermodynamic description of the metastable c-TiAlZrN coatings can serve as the important input for the later quantitative description of the microstructure evolution during service life.

In this work we have considered metrological problems and measurement of magnetic parameters and presented methods of measuring effective magnetic anisotropy field HAeff and ferromagnetic resonance bandwidth ∆H in magnetically uniaxial hexagonal ferrites in the electromagnetic microwave working frequency range. The methods allow measuring HAeff in the 10–23 and 28–40 kE ranges and ∆H in the 0.5–5.0 range. One method (suitable for wavelength measurements in free space in the 3-mm wavelength range) has been implemented for the 78.33–118.1 GHz range. The other method (based on the use of microstrip transmission lines) has been implemented for the 25–67 GHz range. The methods have been tested for polycrystalline specimens of hexagonal barium and strontium ferrites with nominal composition or complex substituted and having high magnetic texture. The measurement results have been compared with those obtained using conventional measurement methods and spherical specimens. Our methods prove to be highly accurate and reliable.

The need to study ultrafast processes in magnetism is due to the prospects for creating ultrafast magnetic recording and ultrafast spintronic devices. In order to excite the magnetic subsystem femtosecond optical pulses are used. The excitement is manifested as in spin precession. In metals, the material is heated first due to significant optical absorption, and significant Joule losses occur. The most important task is to search for materials in which spin processes are excited without heating. Obvious candidates are weakly absorbing materials, such as ferrite garnets. However, the range of such materials and the range of their functionality are limited.The purpose of this work is to study the dynamics of systems with nonthermal mechanisms of spin precession excitation. Such excitation is possible in ferromagnetic / antiferromagnetic heterostructures with exchange interaction, provided that the recombination time of photocarriers is shorter than the time of heat diffusion. Multilayer TbCo / FeCo structures of the near IR range were investigated for a femtosecond optical pulse. The spin dynamics are compared with the direction of the wave vector of the exciting pulse along and perpendicular to the axis of easy magnetization of the structures (“easy axis” and “hard axis” geometry, respectively). It is shown that in case of “easy axis” geometry the determinative mechanism is the thermal interaction. When the system is exposed to an excitation pulse, this mechanism leads to a decrease in the projection of magnetization on the direction of propagation of the test beam. In case of “hard axis” geometry, the magnetization turns to the magnetic field at the initial stage. Then it precesses and relaxes to an equilibrium angular orientation. Such dynamics indicate a rapid recovery of the uniaxial anisotropy field after laser irradiation. The presented results demonstrate an ultrafast change in the magnetic anisotropy induced during the fabrication of the heterostructure under study, which may be of interest for optical control of the orientation of the magnetization.

The influence of hydrogenation on the magnetoresonance characteristics of nanocomposite films during synthesis is studied by the method of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). It is shown that introduction of hydrogen into the working chamber during the synthesis of film nanogranular structures (CoFeB)mC100-m leads to a change in a resonant field, to increase of the absorption line width, to reduction of anisotropy field in the film plane.

A multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) collision operator is introduced into the author's rectangular lattice Boltzmann method for simulating fluid flows. The model retains both the advantages and the standard procedure of using a constant transformation matrix in the conventional MRT scheme on a square lattice, leading to easy implementation in the algorithm. This allows flow problems characterized by dominant feature in one direction to be solved more efficiently. Two numerical tests have been carried out and shown that the proposed model is able to capture complex flow characteristics and generate an accurate solution if an appropriate lattice ratio is used. The model is found to be more stable compared to the original rectangular lattice Boltzmann method using the single relaxation time.
