"We accomplish more every day by accident than others do by design"
Magnetic
device technologies are playing an ever expanding role in our day to day
lives. Magnetic storage dates from the 1930’s with the advent of tape
recording and the recent high capacity computer hard drives are simply a
variation on that same theme. However, the past few years has seen an
explosion in the number and type of magnetic devices that have appeared on the
scene. Position and location sensors, magnetic switching, and non-volatile
computer memory based upon magnetoresistance have all
come into common usage within recent years. This is the budding new field
of spintronics, devices based upon manipulating the
spin of the charge carriers.
Over the past few years we have been studying the effect
of ultra thin antiferromagnetic films on the magnetic
exchange bias in magnetic multilayer systems.
We are looking at the onset and nature of the exchange coupling as the antiferromagnetic pinning layer evolves with
thickness. This work is being carried
out in collaboration with Matt Carey at the Hitachi Global Storage Technologies
San Jose Research Center and with Julie Borchers at
NIST Gaithersburg.
