Thin film permalloy (with compositions around Ni80Fe20 continues to be an important ferromagnetic material for a range of applications including sensors, inductors and spintronic devices. Very weak magnetostriction and magnetocrystalline anisotropy a... Read More about Controlling Anisotropy of NiFe Thin Films During Deposition for Device Applications.

Multilevel 3 Bit-per-cell Magnetic Random Access Memory Concepts and Their Associated Control Circuit Architectures (2012)
Journal Article
Cramman, H., Eastwood, D., King, J., & Atkinson, D. (2012). Multilevel 3 Bit-per-cell Magnetic Random Access Memory Concepts and Their Associated Control Circuit Architectures. IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology, 11(1), 63-70. https://doi.org/10.1109/tnano.2011.2149538

Designs for two novel multilevel magnetic random access memory (MRAM) concepts are presented in this paper along with their associated control circuit architectures. Both the ChiralMEM and 3-D-MRAM concepts contain eight states with distinct electric...

Chirality-dependent domain wall pinning in a multinotched planar nanowire and chirality preservation using transverse magnetic fields (2011)
Journal Article
Eastwood, D., King, J., Bogart, L., Cramman, H., & Atkinson, D. (2011). Chirality-dependent domain wall pinning in a multinotched planar nanowire and chirality preservation using transverse magnetic fields. Journal of Applied Physics, 109(1), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3525733

Chirality-dependent pinning of magnetic domain walls (DWs) has been observed in a planar Ni81Fe19 nanowire with two spatially separated notches on opposite edges of the wire. Using focused magneto-optical Kerr effectmeasurements of field-driven magne...

Photoluminescence of gold, copper and niobium as a function of temperature (2009)
Journal Article
Armstrong, H., Halliday, D., & Hampshire, D. (2009). Photoluminescence of gold, copper and niobium as a function of temperature. Journal of Luminescence, 129(12), 1610-1614. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jlumin.2009.04.022

A specially constructed instrument for measuring the low intensity photoluminescence emission spectra of metals is described. It uses low luminescence optical components and dedicated sample mounting techniques. Room temperature measurements agree cl...
