The effects of tungsten (W) doping on the material properties of VO2 films and the magnetic properties of VO2/Ni bilayers were investigated. Doped VO2 films are fabricated using a sol-gel synthesis technique. As seen in previous studies, the vanadium dioxide metal to insulator transition (MIT) is shifted to lower temperature and reduced in magnitud...
Storing information in magnetic recording technologies requires careful optimization of the recording media’s magnetic properties. For example, heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) relies on a prerecording heating step that momentarily lowers the coercivity of the ferromagnetic recording media, and thereby decreases the energy expenditure for ea...
We studied the temperature dependence of the magnetic properties of VO<sub>2</sub>/Ni bilayers. The Ni films were deposited on either monoclinic or rutile phase VO<sub>2</sub>, which allows for tuning of the magnetic properties. The temperature induced VO<sub>2</sub> transformation from a monoclinic to a rutile structure induces strain in the Ni fi...
The magnetic properties of bulk hybrid V2O3/Ni composites were studied as a function of composition and synthesis conditions. We find a sharp increase in the coercivity and a sharp decrease of the magnetization as the temperature of the bulk materials passes through the V2O3 structural phase transition. The magnitude of the effect of the V2O3 phase...
We studied the temperature dependence of the magnetic properties of VO2/Ni bilayers deposited on three different substrates. The temperature induced VO2 transformation from a monoclinic to a rutile structure induces strain in the Ni film. Due to an inverse magnetostrictive effect, the coercivity of the Ni films is strongly modified. The morphology...
The local structure of two skutterudite families—CeM4As12 (M=Fe, Ru, Os) and LnCu3Ru4O12 (Ln=La, Pr, and Nd)—have been studied using the extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) technique with a focus on the lattice vibrations about the rare-earth “rattler atoms” and the extent to which these vibrations can be considered local modes, with t...
We present an x-ray pair distribution function (XPDF) analysis and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data for ZrW2O8 (10-500 K) with a focus on the stiffness of the Zr-O-W linkage. The XPDF is highly sensitive to W-Zr and W-W correlations, but much less so to O-O or W-O correlations. The Zr-W peak in the XPDF data has a weak temperat...
