Structural characterizations of Co2MnSi/MgO/Co2MnSi magnetic tunnel junctions by transmission electron microscopy

We have investigated the structure of Co₂MnSi/MgO/Co₂MnSi magnetic tunneling junctions with different tunnel magnetoresistance values depending on the in situ annealing temperatures just after the deposition of the upper Co₂MnSi electrodes. The nano-beam diffraction patterns indicated that the degree of order of the upper Co₂MnSi electrode annealed at 550 °C was higher than that of an electrode annealed at 400 °C. Moreover, the degree of the L2₁ order of the upper Co₂MnSi electrode annealed at 550 °C was even lower than that of the lower Co₂MnSi electrode annealed at an almost equal temperature of 600 °C. Atomic-scale observation using a high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) method distinctly showed the existence of the L2₁-ordered regions in the B2-ordered matrix in the upper Co₂MnSi electrode annealed at 400 °C.     

Electron beam induced purification of dilute off gases from industrial processes and automobile tunnels

The electron beam process has proved to be an efficient method for the removal of inorganic pollutants from flue gas. Since it simulates natural processes which occur in the atmospheric photochemistry, it appeared attractive to investigate the potential of the e-beam process to clean off-gases which contain hydrocarbon and inorganic trace components. Such emissions arise from industrial processes and from automobile tunnels. Commercial solvents were vaporized in air and irradiated with energetic electrons (300 keV). CO, CO₂ and aerosol particles were found as products and were determined quantitatively. The aerosol particles can be collected by a gravel bed filter and can be removed by combustion or biological degradation. From experiments and model calculations it was found that the e-beam process is a very economic tool to remove hydrocarbons from large off-gas volumes at initial concentrations of 50–100 mg C/m³, and that NO_x can be removed very efficiently from tunnel off-gas.

Driver gas contaminationin a detonation-driven reflected-shock tunnel

A computational study has been carried out to examine the effects of driver gas contamination in the NASA HYPULSE facility at GASL when operating with a detonation driver in reflected-shock tunnel mode. Unlike high-enthalpy shock tunnels which use helium as a driver gas, the driver gas in a detonation driver consists of a mixture of water vapour and argon, which has very different chemical and thermodynamic properties than those of helium. The purpose of the present work is to quantitatively evaluate the effects of driver gas contamination on the flow properties in the test section. Two computational analyses have been performed. The first analysis examined the nozzle flow under the influence of a prescribed level of driver gas contamination. In the second analysis, the transient development of the driver gas leakage in the reflected-shock region in the shock tube is studied. The unique flow features brought about by the detonation-driver gas and the method for detecting the contamination are discussed.Received: 6 August 2002, Revised: 22 September 2003, Published online: 10 February 2004Correspondence to: R.S.M.

Magnetization switching driven by spin-transfer-torque in high-TMR magnetic tunnel junctions

This paper presents a numerical study of magnetization switching driven by spin-polarized current in high-TMR magnetic tunnel junctions (TMR>100%). The current density distribution throughout the free-layer is computed dynamically, by modeling the ferromagnet/insulator/ferromagnet trilayer as a series of parallel resistances. The validity of the main hypothesis, which states that the current flows perpendicular to the sample plane, has been verified by numerically solving the Poisson equation. Our results show that the nonuniform current density distribution is a source of asymmetry to the switching process. Furthermore, we observe that the reversal mechanisms are characterized by well-defined localized pre-switching oscillation modes.     

双势垒磁性隧道结中量子阱共振隧穿效应的第一性原理理论

磁性隧道结材料中自旋相关的量子阱态所导致的共振隧穿现象具有很重要的研究和应用价值，文章介绍了最近在Fe（001）／MgO／Fe／MgO／Fe双势垒磁性隧道结中存在的量子阱共振隧穿效应的理论研究工作，通过量子阱态的第一性原理的计算以及结合对中间Fe薄膜孤岛结构所导致Coulomb阻塞效应的分析，证实了最近Nozaki等人（Nozaki T et al．Phys．Rev．Lett．，2006，96：027208）实验中得到的振荡效应确实来源于中间Fe层多数自旋电子在Г点处形成的△1对称性的量子阱态．Coulomb阻塞效应的存在正是导致实验中低温下量子阱共振隧穿效应不够明显的主要原因．
