Direct-Current Induced Dynamics in Co 90 Fe 10 /Ni 80 Fe 20 Point Contacts

January 16, 2004
Author(s)
William Rippard, Matthew Pufall, Shehzaad F. Kaka, Stephen E. Russek, Thomas J. Silva
We have directly measured coherent high-frequency magnetization dynamics in ferromagnetic films induced by a spin-polarized dc current. The precision frequency can be tuned over a range of several gigahertz by varying the applied current. The frequencies

Polymer-derived SiCN composites with magnetic properties

November 1, 2003
Author(s)
Atanu Saha, Sandeep R. Shah, Rishi Raj, Stephen E. Russek
Composites consisting of particles of α-iron dispersed in silicon carbonitride (SiCN) were fabricated by a polymer route. The composites had iron inclusions with the same magnetization as bulk iron, but they resisted oxidation up to 500°C and had a

High-frequency noise measurements in spin-valve Devices

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
N. A. Stutzke, S. L. Burkett, Stephen E. Russek
High-frequency magnetic noise in magnetoresistive devices being developed for read-sensor and magnetic random access memory applications may present fundamental limitations on the performance of sub-micrometer magnetic devices. High- frequency magnetic

In-situ conductance characterization of Fe/Ag multilayer contacts on GaAs

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
Dustin Hite, Stephen E. Russek, David P. Pappas
Electrical transport characteristics for epitaxially grown Ag/Fe/Ag multilayers on GaAs(100) and GaAs(110) have been studied under various growth conditions. The surfaces and structure of the multilayer were characterized by low energy electron diffraction

High-Frequency Measurements of Spin Valve Films and Devices

May 15, 2003
Author(s)
Shehzaad F. Kaka, John P. Nibarger, Stephen E. Russek, N. A. Stutzke, S. L. Burkett
High-frequency measurements of spin-valve films and devices, made using several different measurement techniques, are presented and compared. Pulsed inductive measurements were made on sheet films and provide insight into the intrinsic dynamical properties

High-speed switching and rotational dynamics in small magnetic thin-film devices

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Stephen E. Russek, Shehzaad F. Kaka, Robert McMichael, Michael J. Donahue
The intent of this chapter is to review high frequency magnetic device measurements and modeling work at NIST which is being conducted to support the development of high-speed read sensors, magnetic random access memory, and magnetoelectronic applications

Spin-Current Induced Magnetotransport in Co/Cu/Co Nanostructures

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Fred B. Mancoff, Stephen E. Russek
We report measurements on sub-100 nm current-perpendicular-to-place Co/Cu/Co spin-valves. The giant magnetoresistance versus applied magnetic field shows the switching in individual patterned Co nanomagnets. Spin transfer from the spin-polarized current to

Magnetostriction and angular dependence of FMR linewidth in Tb-doped Ni 0.8 Fe 0.2 thin films

May 15, 2002
Author(s)
Stephen E. Russek, Pavel Kabos, Robert McMichael, C G. Lee, William E. Bailey, R Ewasko, S. Sanders
We present the dependence of the magnetostriction in Ni 0.8Fe 0.2 films on Tb and Gd doping concentration with the measured doping dependence of the high-frequency damping. While the magnetostriction and the high-frequency damping are correlated, the
