Analyzing admissions metrics as predictors of graduate GPA and whether graduate GPA mediates PhD completion

Mike Verostek, Casey Miller, Benjamin Zwickl

An analysis of 1,955 physics graduate students from 19 PhD programs shows that undergraduate grade point average predicts graduate grades and PhD completion more effectively than G…

Typical Physics PhD Admissions Criteria Limit Access to Underrepresented Groups but Fail to Predict Doctoral Completion, including some additional information

Casey W. Miller, Benjamin M. Zwickl, Julie R. Posselt +2

This work aims to understand how effective the typical admissions criteria used in physics are at identifying students who will complete the PhD. Through a multivariate statistical…

Nanoscale Magnetic Behavior Localization in Exchange Strength Modulated Ferromagnets

B. J. Kirby, L. Fallarino, P. Riego +3

Although ferromagnetism is in general a long-range collective phenomenon, it is possible to induce local spatial variations of magnetic properties in ferromagnetic materials. For e…

Depth dependent magnetization profiles of hybrid exchange springs

T. N. Anh Nguyen, R. Knut, V. Fallahi +8

We report on the magnetization depth profile of a hybrid exchange spring system in which a Co/Pd multilayer with perpendicular anisotropy is coupled to a CoFeB thin film with in-pl…
