Transistor behavior via Au clusters etched from electrodes in an acidic gating solution: metal nanoparticles mimicking conducting polymers

Jacob E. Grose, Burak Ulgut, Abhay N. Pasupathy +2

We report that the electrical conductance between closely-spaced gold electrodes in acid solution can be turned from off [insulating; I] to on [conducting; C] to off again by monot…

Observed Effects of a Changing Step-Edge Density on Thin-Film Growth Dynamics

Aaron Fleet, Darren Dale, Y. Suzuki +1

We grew SrTiO3 on SrTiO3 [001] by pulsed laser deposition, while observing x-ray diffraction at the (0 0 .5) position. The drop dI in the x-ray intensity following a laser pulse co…

Ab initio mechanical response: internal friction and structure of divacancies in silicon

H. Ustunel, D. Roundy, T. A. Arias

This letter introduces ab initio study of the full activation-volume tensor of crystalline defects as a means to make contact with mechanical response experiments. We present a the…

Arrays of widely spaced atomic steps on Si(111) mesas due to sublimation

Kee-Chul Chang, Jack M. Blakely

Steps with spacings of microns form on top of mesas fabricated on Si(111) that is annealed at temperatures where sublimation becomes important. Upon annealing, mesas first develop…

Random-Field Ising Models of Hysteresis

James P. Sethna, Karin A. Dahmen, Olga Perkovic

This is a review article of our work on hysteresis, avalanches, and criticality. We provide an extensive introduction to scaling and renormalization--group ideas, and discuss analy…

Nearly strain-free heteroepitaxial system for fundamental studies of pulsed laser deposition: EuTiO3 on SrTiO3

Huan-Hua Wang, Aaron Fleet, Darren Dale +2

High quality epitaxial thin-films of EuTiO3 have been grown on the (001) surface of SrTiO3 using pulsed laser deposition. In situ x-ray reflectivity measurements reveal that the gr…

Spin-Transfer Effects in Nanoscale Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

G. D. Fuchs, N. C. Emley, I. N. Krivorotov +7

We report measurements of magnetic switching and steady-state magnetic precession driven by spin-polarized currents in nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions with low-resistance, < 5…

Temperature dependence of spin-transfer-induced switching of nanomagnets

I. N. Krivorotov, N. C. Emley, A. G. F. Garcia +4

We measure the temperature, magnetic-field, and current dependence for the switching of nanomagnets by a spin-polarized current. Depending on current bias, switching can occur betw…

Current-Induced Nanomagnet Dynamics for Magnetic Fields Perpendicular to the Sample Plane

S. I. Kiselev, J. C. Sankey, I. N. Krivorotov +5

We present electrical measurements of high-frequency magnetic dynamics excited by spin-polarized currents in Co/Cu/Ni80Fe20 nanopillar devices, with a magnetic field applied perpen…

Doublon Growth in Solidification

Brian Utter, E. Bodenschatz

We present experiments on the doublon growth morphology in directional solidification. Samples used are succinonitrile with small amounts of poly(ethylene oxide), acetone, or camph…
