    Notes: High resolution measurements on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak [I. H. Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1551 (1994)] of the transport barrier in the "Enhanced Dα" (EDA) regime, which has increased particle transport without large edge localized modes, show steep density and temperature gradients over a region of 2–5 mm, with peak pressure gradients up to 12 MPa/m. Evolution of the pedestal at the L-H transition is consistent with a large, rapid drop in thermal conductivity across the barrier. A quasi-coherent fluctuation in density, potential, and Bpol, with f0∼50–150 kHz and kθ∼4 cm−1, always appears in the barrier during EDA, and drives a large particle flux. Conditions to access the steady-state EDA regime in deuterium include δ〉0.35, q95〉3.5, and L-mode target density n¯e〉1.2×1020 m−3. A reduced q95 limit is found for hydrogen discharges. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Cross-field particle transport in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of Alcator C-Mod [Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994)] can be characterized by an effective particle diffusivity (Deff) that increases markedly with distance from the separatrix. As a consequence, recycling onto the main-chamber walls is large compared to plasma flows into the divertor volume. The SOL exhibits a two-layer structure: Steep gradients and moderate fluctuation levels are typically found in a ∼5 mm region near the separatrix (near SOL) where parallel electron conduction typically dominates energy losses. Small gradients and larger fluctuation levels with longer correlation times are found outside this region (far SOL). Deff in the near SOL increases strongly with local plasma collisionality normalized to the magnetic connection length. As the discharge density limit is approached, Deff and associated fluctuation levels become large across the entire SOL and cross-field heat convection everywhere exceeds parallel conduction losses, impacting the power balance of the discharge. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Neutral particle densities and energy losses have been measured in the Alcator C-Mod tokamak [Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994)]. Their effect on the formation and evolution of the edge barrier which accompanies the enhanced confinement regime are discussed. The neutrals can enter the edge dynamics through the particle, momentum, and energy balance. Neutral densities of up to 5×1016 m−3 have been measured in the edge barrier region. Neutrals enter the local dynamics around most of the periphery, not just at the X-point. High resolution measurements of the ionization profile have been obtained for the region near the separatrix. The profile shifts inside the separatrix as the plasma is making a transition from low-to high-mode confinement (H-mode) regimes, partly accounting for the dramatic rise in edge density. The measured neutral density is large enough to affect the bulk ion momentum by charge exchange, and thereby introduces a negative radial electric field at the edge. At the same time, significant edge heat flux, carried by the neutrals, contributes to the measured power loss. At very high edge densities, this loss mechanism could contribute to quenching H-modes. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Large angle picosecond reorientation of the magnetization has been studied in circular Ni81Fe19 thin-film elements of 30 μm diameter and 500 Å thickness by means of an optical pump–probe technique. The sample was pumped by an optically triggered magnetic field pulse and probed by a time resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect measurement. The temporal profile of the pulsed field and the in-plane uniaxial anisotropy of the element were first determined from measurements made in large static fields where the magnetization exhibited small amplitude ferromagnetic resonance oscillations. Measurements of large amplitude oscillations were then made in a smaller static field that was still larger than the in-plane uniaxial anisotropy field and sufficient to saturate the sample. Using the measured temporal profile of the pulsed field, the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation was used to model the motion of the magnetization as a coherent rotation process. The same values of the anisotropy and damping constants provided an adequate simulation of both the high and low field data. The magnetization was found to move through an angle of up to about 30° on subnanosecond time scales. The dependence of the reorientation upon the direction of the static applied field and observed deviations from the coherent precession model are discussed. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A study has been made on the effect of annealing time on magnetization reversal of the pinned layer in NiFe(100 Å)/PtMnCr(500 Å) bilayers. In the as-deposited state, the PtMnCr layer is in a metastable, nonmagnetic, disordered fcc phase. Heating progressively transforms the alloy to the stable fct phase which is antiferromagnetic, providing the pinning layer for the soft ferromagnetic NiFe layer. The samples were annealed in a magnetic field at 250 °C for 1, 1.5, 2, and 8 h. The effect of annealing is to both increase the shift of the loops along the field axis and the coercivity of the pinned ferromagnetic layer. Although the widening of the loop is correlated with the degree of antiferromagnet transformation, the exact mechanism for the increased coercivity is unclear. Measurements of loops made at different field sweep rates and after different waiting times at saturation, on the sample annealed for 1.5 h, indicate two possible mechanisms for the increased coercivity: (i) thermally activated reversal of some of the antiferromagnetic layer (AFM) during the measurement of the hysteresis loop and/or (ii) spin-flop coupling between the AFM and ferromagnet moments at a partially compensated interface. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The rise and damping of spin excitations in three Ni81Fe19 films of thickness 50, 500, and 5000 Å have been studied with an optical pump–probe technique in which the sample is pumped with an optically triggered magnetic field pulse. The motion of the magnetization was described by the uniform mode solution of the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation. The rise time of the pulsed field within the film was smallest in the 50 Å sample and was generally greater when the pulsed field was perpendicular to the film plane. The damping constant was smallest in the 500 Å sample. The variations in the rise time and damping are attributed to the presence of eddy currents and structural disorder in the films. Under certain excitation conditions a second mode was observed in the 5000 Å sample which we believe to be a magnetostatic surface mode. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Magnetization reversal in the pinned layer of exchange biased spin valves is a complex process due to the exchange interaction between the ferromagnetic layer and the antiferromagnetic layer. This interaction results in progressive reversal of the antiferromagnetic layer as the magnetization of the ferromagnetic layer changes direction. This reversal of the antiferromagnet will effect the subsequent reversal of the ferromagnet. It is known that this process is thermally activated but time dependence measurements are difficult to interpret, as the exchange field is nonconstant at many positions along the hysteresis curve. Measurements have been made of the time dependence of the reversal of the antiferromagnetic layer by measuring the recoil loops, following different times spent with the ferromagnetic layer saturated in the negative direction. In this manner, the exchange field can be assumed to be constant during the reversal of the antiferromagnet. These measurements show a shift of the loop of the pinned layer towards positive fields. This shift in the loop is interpreted as being the result of reordering of the antiferromagnet. Increasing the temperature during the time spent at saturation shows that the process is driven by thermal activation. Close examination of the degree of loop shift with time spent at saturation shows behavior consistent with thermal activation governed by a distribution of activation energies. At longer times and elevated temperatures, the behavior of the antiferromagnet reversal suggests that this distribution is complex and may be multimodal. The reversal process is, however, reversible even at high temperatures indicating that the elevated temperatures do not significantly change the structure of the ferromagnetic–antiferromagnetic layers or the interface between them. Finally, measurements at 77 K show that the active portion of the energy barrier distribution will change significantly at low temperatures. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An interferometer for use between 2.5 and 3.0 MHz has recently been developed for the purpose of studying auroral radio emissions. The instrument consists of an array of 17 antennas, associated electronics for amplitude and phase measurements, and computer hardware for instrument control and data recording. In its standard operational mode, the instrument sweeps from 2.5 to 3.0 MHz in 1 kHz steps every 1.5 s. The intensity of the received signal and the phase at each antenna is measured for each 1-kHz-wide bin. These data can be used to produce spectrograms showing the intensity of the received signal versus frequency and time and for determining the direction of arrival for any signal in the instrument bandwidth. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A high-resolution Thomson scattering diagnostic is in operation on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak, measuring radial profiles of electron temperature and density at the plasma edge. Photons are scattered from a Nd–yttrium–aluminum–garnet laser beam pulsed at 30 Hz (1.3 J, 8 ns pulse), and are measured by a filter polychromator with four spectral channels. The polychromator measures Te in the range of 15–800 eV and ne of 0.3–3×1020 m−3. Twenty scattering volumes are located about the last closed flux surface, spaced for a nominal resolution of 1.3 mm in midplane radial coordinates. High resolution is essential for measuring edge Te and ne profiles on C-Mod, since these quantities exhibit gradient scale lengths as small as 2 mm in H mode. The steep profiles at the H mode edge are fit to a parameterized pedestal function for ease of analysis. Measured profiles are compared with edge profiles from electron cyclotron emission and visible continuum diagnostics. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Current deep level transient spectroscopy was applied using enhancement n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors fabricated in silicon-on-insulator substrates (prepared by oxygen implantation) to study the deep levels existing in the substrates. The current transients are not affected by the large series resistances which affect the measurement of capacitance transients on thin films. For the transistors used in this work a hole trap was found with energy ET=0.63 eV above the valence-band edge. The concentration and capture cross section of this state were estimated to be 1014 cm−3 and 10−16 cm2, respectively.
