Facile Generation of L10‐FePt Nanodot Arrays from a Nanopatterned Metallopolymer Blend of Iron and Platinum Homopolymers

Hard ferromagnetic (L1₀ phase) FePt alloy nanoparticles (NPs) with extremely high magnetocrystalline anisotropy are considered to be one of the most promising candidates for the next generation of ultrahigh‐density data storage system. The question of how to generate ordered patterns of L1₀‐FePt NPs and how to transform the technology for practical applications represents a key current challenge. Here the direct synthesis of L1₀ phase FePt NPs by pyrolysis of Fe‐containing and Pt‐containing metallopolymer blend without post‐annealing treatment is reported. Rapid single‐step fabrication of large‐area nanodot arrays (periodicity of 500 nm) of L1₀‐ordered FePt NPs can also be achieved by employing the metallopolymer blend, which possesses excellent solubility in most organic solvents and good solution processability, as the precursor through nanoimprint lithography (NIL). Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) imaging of the nanodot pattern indicates that the patterned L1₀ phase FePt NPs are capable of exhibiting decent magnetic response, which suggests a great potential to be utilized directly in the fabrication of bit patterned media (BPM) for the next generation of magnetic recording technology.     

Time-Resolved Reflectance of an Optical Pulse in Adult Heads Based on the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) Analysis

Time-resolved reflectance of an optical pulse in adult head models including non-scattering cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been analyzed by the finite difference time domain (FDTD) analysis formulated by the authors. Averaged light intensity and mean time of flight dependences on the source-detector separations calculated by the FDTD analysis are in good agreement with previous experiments, hybrid finite element method (FEM) and Monte Carlo calculations, which justify the FDTD analysis. Based on the analysis, time-resolved reflectance sensitivities to detect optical property changes in brain have been analyzed. As a result, it has been become clear that the sensitivities to detect absorption changes of brain are enhanced in time-resolved reflectance compared to the sensitivities in averaged light intensity, whereas the sensitivities to detect scattering property changes of brain are almost the same in time-resolved reflectance and in averaged light intensity. © 2005 The Optical Society of Japan     

Recording of PIV images on photothermoplastic plates

In this paper we explore the possibility of utilizing commercially available photothermoplastic plates as recording support in Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), to allow real time analysis of recorded data. An experimental apparatus has been developed which allows holographic recording and reconstruction of simulated PIV images. We show that double exposed photothermoplastic plates can successfully be analysed provided that a suitable recording/reconstruction scheme is used.

Have women's voices lowered across time? A cross sectional study of Australian women's voices

Various aspects of our communication are well known to havechanged over time (1-3). This article describes a cross-sectional study that examined the acoustic characteristics of two groups of Australian women aged 18–25 years from recordings made in 1945 and 1993 and investigated the possible changes in the voice across generations. Archival recordings from 1945 which had been used in a longitudinal study (4) were compared to recordings made in 1993. The results of this study show that women in 1993 have significantly deeper voices than women of the same age recorded in 1945. The possible factors influencing this change are discussed.     

Cycloaliphatic-aromatic polyimides based on diamines with azobenzene unit

A new family of functionalized semiaromatic polyimides has been developed. Cycloaliphatic-aromatic polyimides, derived from the polycondensation of 1,2,3,4-cyclopentanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (CPDA) with various diamines bearing azobenzene group, have been prepared and characterized. Molecular structural characterization for the resulting polymers has been achieved by ¹³C NMR, ¹H NMR, FTIR and UV-visible spectroscopies. Light-induced optical anisotropy, in novel azobenzene functionalized polyimides, has been studied by holographic polarization grating recording performed at 514.5 nm line of Ar⁺ laser. Two-wave mixing technique has been employed to inscribe the gratings in these polymers. Formation of gratings has been investigated with two s-s and s-p polarized writing beams. The kinetics of grating recording observed within the studied polymers is discussed in relation to their structure.     

Measurement of the Waveguide Near—field Optical Spot

The characteristic of near-field spots is analyzed.The size of the near field and the heat response time of the hybrid record medium to overcome super paramagnetic effect are calculated based on the heat transfer theory.A novel measuring method for the diameter of near-field recording spot is also presented.Since the grain of the recording media is tiny enough,near-field optical lithography can be accomplished with the aid of atomic force microscope(AFM).The diameter of near-field recording sopt can be obtained by specifically designed computer.So the relationship between the near-field recording spot diameter and the probe size of near-field recording system,the near field recording distance coupling between head and disc can be got.
