Tuning magnetic anisotropy in thin films helps create magnon valves
Tuning of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in iron garnets is used to create trilayer valve structures.
Record performance of nitride-based resonant tunneling diodes
GaN-based resonant tunneling diodes show record peak-to-valley current ratio and switching speeds, as well as improved yield and repeatability, bringing these devices closer to high power, high frequency applications.
Alternating current probe system allows access to a wide electron energy range in plasmas
Obtaining the electron energy distribution function in the low energy region of low pressure plasmas is a difficult problem. A Langmuir probe with alternating current may be the solution.
Alternative method for solving the graph coloring problem discovered
By transforming a combinatorial optimization problem into a functional optimization problem, methods from across two fields can be combined to solve the classic graph coloring problem.
Photolithographic method used to control the formation of DNA hydrogels
Method of controlling the shape of DNA hydrogels at a micrometer scale using light irradiation doesn’t require radical polymerization.
Arrays of fiber laser sensors can detect and locate cracks in a material
The multiplexed sensors use arrival times of signals to determine the source location of acoustic emissions caused by structural changes.
Electrical stimulation affects adsorption dynamics in a conductive, biocompatible polymer
Application of electrical stimulation on a conductive, partially biodegradable copolymer results in increased adsorption and heightened growth of fibroblast cells.
Identifying the transition region between splashing and spreading of fuel drops
Whether an impacting droplet splashes or spreads is determined by a number of parameters, and a transition region exists between the two behaviors.
