Nano-hillock formation in diamond-like carbon induced by swift heavy projectiles in the electronic stopping regime: Experiments and atomistic simulations
Full text linkThe formation of surface hillocks in diamond-like carbon is studied experimentally and by means of large-scale molecular dynamics simulations with 5 × 106 atoms combined with a thermal spike model. The irradiation experiments with swift heavy ions cover a large electronic stopping range between ∼12 and 72 keV/nm. Both experiments and simulations show that beyond a stopping power threshold, the hillock height increases linearly with the electronic stopping, and agree extremely well assuming an efficiency of approximately 20% in the transfer of electronic energy to the lattice. The simulations also show a transition of sp3 to sp2bonding along the tracks with the hillocks containing almost no sp3 contribution.Fil: Schwen, D.. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Magnetic texturing of ferromagnetic thin films by sputtering induced ripple formation
No full textRipple patterns created by sputter erosion of iron thin films induce a correlated magnetic texture of the surface near region. We investigated the magnetic anisotropy as a function of the residual film thickness and determined the thickness of the magnetically anisotropic layer as well as the magnitude of the magnetic anisotropy using by magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy measurements. Ripple patterns were created by sputter erosion with 5 keV Xe ions under grazing incidence of 80 degrees with respect to the surface normal. For ion fluences of above 1x10(16) cm(-2), the formation of ripples, with wavelengths between 30 and 80 nm oriented parallel to the ion beam direction, is observed. MOKE measurements reveal a pronounced uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of the surface region of the films with orientation parallel to the ripple orientation and the ion beam direction. We find a layer thickness of 12 +/- 3 nm, in accordance with the average grain size. The magnetic anisotropy within this layer varies from about 25% for thick residual films toward 100% for films with less than 30 nm thickness. The magnitude of the magnetic anisotropy is determined by the shape anisotropy of the rippled surface as well as the interface roughness. We have demonstrated that sputter erosion yields highly anisotropic magnetic thin films and can be used to fabricate nanorods and nanowires with pronounced uniaxial magnetic anisotropy.

Highly conductive ion tracks in tetrahedral amorphous carbon by irradiation with 30 MeV C-60 projectiles
No full textElectrically conducting ion tracks are produced when high-energy heavy ions pass through a layer of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C). The tracks are embedded in the insulating ta-C matrix and have a diameter of about 8 nm. Earlier studies showed that the electrical currents through individual tracks produced with Au and U projectiles exhibit rather large track-to-track fluctuations. In striking contrast, 30 MeV C-60 cluster ions are shown to generate conducting tracks of very narrow conductivity distributions. Their current-versus-voltage curves are linear at room temperature. We also investigated ta-C films doped with B, N, Cu and Fe at a concentration of 1 or 2 at.%. In particular, Cu-and Fe-doped samples show increased ion track conductivity.DFG [Ho1125/17-1]; BMBF [05KK4MGA/9]Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 201
A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing
No full textIn this latest Advance & Rutgers Report, entitled “A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing,” Dean James W. Hughes and Professor Joseph J. Seneca deliver an incisive assessment of the current market conditions and obstacles in the path of our economic recovery. They offer a statistical cautionary tale that the private and public sector need to hear and acknowledge in order for the economy to make continued progress.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 7, November 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report
Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
Full text linkFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
