Abstract We have investigated the dynamics of magnetization under a current pulse in a φ0 - junction with a direct coupling between the magnetic moment and the superconducting current. The correspondence between the magnetization value at the end of the pulse mz * and the realization of the magnetization reversal along the easy axis of the ferromagnetic is considered. The crucial influence of the ratio w of the ferromagnetic frequency to the characteristic frequency of the Josephson junction on the results of reversal predictions is demonstrated. Effect of w magnitude on the manifestation of periodicity bands in the mz * dependence on the model parameters is shown. There is a critical value of the Gilbert damping, above which the magnetization reversal is not realized. It is shown that at small w the magnitude mz * can be as a criterion of magnetization reversal. I.e., if mz * <0, the magnetization reversal would happen with 100 percent probability. The results can be used in various areas of superconducting spintronics, in particular, to create a memory element based on the Josephson $ {\varphi_0} $ junction

It is necessary to formpinning centers in superconductors to allow the flow of large currents throughthe specimens. To clarify the properties of pinning centers, it is preferableto investigate single crystals. In this study, heat treatment was used to dopevarious oxides into Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox(Bi-2212) single crystals prepared by self-flux methods and the criticalcurrent (Ic) was measured. The oxides used in this study were Al2O3and the rare earth oxides Er2O3and Nd2O3. At 77K, Nd2O3and Er2O3 are magnetic, whereas Al2O3is nonmagnetic. The Ic of the samples were measured as a current per width of 1cm (Ics). The resulting Ics of the Bi-2212 single crystal was 2.8A/cm and thatof the Al2O3 doped Bi-2212 sample was 4.5A/cm. Comparedwith these samples, doping the other rare earth oxides gave Ics values inexcess 10A/cm. The results indicated that the doping oxides were effective inoperating as pinning centers in the samples. We assumed the current path in asingle crystal, and calculated the Ics by superconducting current simulation.The results indicated that the oxides permeated from a crystal surface in aporous shape. The oxides increase the current which flow in the Cu-O2planes that are parallel to the a-b plane.

Energy harvesting using piezoceramic has drawn a lot of attention in recent years. Its potential usage in microelectromechanical systems is starting to become a reality thanks to the development of an integrated circuit. An accurate equivalent circuit of piezoceramic is important in energy harvesting and the sensing system. A piezoceramic is always considered to be a current source according to empirical testing, instead of the derivation from its piezoelectric characteristics, which lacks accuracy under complicated mechanical excitation situations. In this study, a new current output model is developed to accurately estimate its value under various kinds of stimulation. Considering the frequency, amplitude and preload variation imposed on a piezoceramic, the multivariate model parameters are obtained in relation to piezo coefficients. Using this model, the current output could be easily calculated without experimental testing in order to quickly estimate the output power in energy harvesting whatever its geometric shape and the various excitations.

We present our approach for a consistent, fully quantum mechanical description of the magnetization reversal process in natural and artificial atomic systems by means of short magnetic pulses. In terms of the simplest model of a two-level system with a magnetic moment, we analyze the possibility of a fast magnetization reversal on the picosecond timescale induced by oscillating or short unipolar magnetic pulses. We demonstrate the possibility of selective magnetization reversal of a superconducting flux qubit using a single flux quantum-based pulse and suggest a promising, rapid Λ-scheme for resonant implementation of this process. In addition, the magnetization reversal treatment is fulfilled within the framework of the macroscopic theory of the magnetic moment, which allows for the comparison and explanation of the quantum and classical behavior.

ABSTRACTThe lattice reconstructed bec Ni (001) in Fe/Ni (001) ultrathin layers allows one to engineer films in which the in-plane 4-fold anisotropies and coercive fields can be varied and adjusted according to specific requirements. Magnetization reversals have been studied in layered structures of Fe/Ag/Fe/Ni (001). For Ag (001) interlayers thicker than 13 ML Magnetization reversal can proceed in two steps. In these samples the minor loops switch the magnetization of the Fe (001) layer from the parallel to the antiparallel configurations with respect to the magnetic moment of the Fe/Ni film. Such Minor loops exhibit a rectangular behavior with switching fields of 15–25 Oe. The lattice transformed Fe/Ni layers could be useful in spin-valve structures.
