Thermally activated magnetization reversal in magnetic tunnel junctions

In this paper, the magnetization reversal of the ferromagnetic layers in the IrMn/CoFe/AlO_x/CoFe magnetic tunnel junction has been investigated using bulk magnetometry. The films exhibit very complex magnetization processes and reversal mechanism. Thermal activation phenomena such as the training effect, the asymmetry of reversal, the loop broadening and the decrease of exchange field while holding the film at negative saturation have been observed on the hysteresis loops of the pinned ferromagnetic layer while not on those of the free ferromagnetic layer. The thermal activation phenomena observed can be explained by the model of two energy barrier distributions with different time constants.     

Thermal Stability of CoFe/Cu/CoFe/IrMn Top Spin Valve

We present a study of thermal stability of the top spin valve with a structure of seed Ta （Snm）/Co75Fe25 （5 nm ） /Cu （2.5 nm） /Co75Fe25 （5 nm ） /Ir20Mn80（12 nm） /cap Ta （8 nm） deposited at room temperature by magnetron sputtering. A vibrating sample magnetometer fixed with a heater was used to record the magnetic hysteresis loops at variational temperatures and x-ray diffraction was performed to characterize the structure of the multilayer. The exchange field Hex and the coercivity of the pinned CoFe layer Hop decrease monotonically with increasing temperature. The coercivity of the free CoFe layer Hcf in the spin valve shows a maximum at 498K. The temperature dependences of Hex, Hop and Hcf have also been discussed.     

含Fe2O3摩擦层的促进形成对H13和45钢磨损性能的影响

Fe_2O_3是钢材高温或高速干滑动表面摩擦氧化物层的重要构成.本文作者通过在H13钢、45钢/GCr15钢的滑动界面添加Fe_2O_3纳米颗粒,试图促进保护性摩擦氧化物层的快速形成,避免了高温恶化材料的机械性能.研究了Fe_2O_3对H13钢和45钢磨损性能的影响,分析了摩擦氧化物层的形成机理,并探讨了基体硬度对摩擦氧化物层的作用.研究结果表明:无添加时,低硬度45钢的耐磨性明显差于高硬度的H13钢;GCr15钢在与45钢对摩时,磨损率也明显大于与H13钢对摩时.添加Fe_2O_3后,纳米颗粒在H13和GCr15钢表面迅速相互黏着并形成保护性的摩擦氧化物层,导致磨损率急剧下降,且随载荷增加仅轻微波动.而较软45钢基体对摩擦氧化物层的支撑能力较弱,摩擦氧化物层破碎,高载下磨损率明显大于低载下.     

Thermal relaxation of exchange bias field in an exchange coupled CoFe/IrMn bilayer

This paper reports that a CoFe/IrMn bilayer was deposited by high vacuum magnetron sputtering on silicon wafer substrate; the thermal relaxation of the CoFe/IrMn bilayer is investigated by means of holding the film in a negative saturation field at various temperatures. The exchange bias decreases with increasing period of time while holding the film in a negative saturation field at a given temperature. Increasing the temperature accelerates the decrease of exchange field. The results can be explained by the quantitative model of the nucleation and growth of antiferromagnetic domains suggested by Xi H W et al. [2007 Phys. Rev. B 75 014434], and it is believed that two energy barriers exist in the investigated temperature range.     

新型牙齿正畸丝材料在唾液中的往复滑动摩擦磨损特性研究

采用小振幅往复滑动摩擦磨损试验机评价了新型牙齿正畸丝材料13Cr24Mn0.44N不锈钢在水和唾液中的摩擦磨损行为,并探讨其磨损机理.结果表明:在唾液中活性成分的作用下,试样表面生成了软质易剪切的表面膜,使得摩擦系数降低,同时部分残留于磨痕中的磨屑在水或唾液介质润滑下承担了类似滚动轴承中"滚珠"的角色,进一步降低了摩擦系数;在2种介质中磨痕深度均随载荷增大而增加,但在唾液中的磨痕深度均小于在水中的磨痕深度,磨损和腐蚀之间呈现"负交互"作用;不锈钢在水中的磨痕呈现微切削和犁沟机制,在唾液中小载荷下的磨痕与水中相似,磨痕呈现微切削和犁沟机制,但在较大载荷时的磨损机制为疲劳脱层并伴有显微切削.     

BiFeO3/Ni81Fe19磁性双层膜中的交换偏置及其热稳定性研究

研究了磁场诱导生长的BiFeO₃/Ni₁₈Fe₁₉磁性双层膜中 的交换偏置及其热稳定性. 结果表明: BiFeO₃/Ni₁₈Fe₁₉双层膜中的交换偏置场H_ex未表现出明显的磁练习效应. 在负饱和磁场等待过程中, BiFeO₃/Ni₁₈Fe₁₉双层膜磁滞回线的前支和后支曲 线都随着在负饱和磁场中等待时间t_sat的增加向正场方向偏移. 交换偏置场H_ex的大小随着等待时间t_sat的增加而减小, 矫顽力H_c基本不变. 交换偏置场H_ex的大小随测量温度T_m的升高变化不明显, 表现出良好的热稳定性; 但矫顽力H_c随T_m的升高而显著减小. 良好的热稳定性应该来源于铁电性和反铁磁性间的共同耦合作用. 关键词： 多铁性 磁性薄膜 交换偏置 热稳定性
