9632171 Kurtz这个与工业界学术联络的资助机会（GOALI）项目将提供与惠普实验室（HP）和路易斯安那州立大学的教师和研究生密切的大学-工业界互动。重点研究巨磁阻（GMR）和巨磁阻（CMR）的机制。这些现象在高密度磁存储介质中引起了相当大的兴趣。这些薄膜将在HP进行制备，并在LSU高级微结构器件中心（CAMD）进行表征。CAMDE同步加速器光源将用于研究工业相关材料的电子结构和费米表面性质。其结果将具有根本性的意义，也将导致改进材料的发展。这项与工业界学术联络的资助机会（GOALI）研究将更好地理解使用磁性存储介质（如计算机硬盘驱动器）的材料的磁性和电阻特性的基本机制。这项合作包括惠普实验室（生产薄膜异质结构）和路易斯安那州立大学高级微结构和器件中心（CAMD）（利用光电子能谱表征薄膜）。感兴趣的材料包括巨磁阻（GMR）异质结构和巨磁阻（CMR）钙钛矿。＊＊＊

9632171 Kurtz This Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) project will provide a close University-Industry interaction with Hewlett-Packard Laboratories (HP) and faculty and graduate students at Louisiana State University. The research will focus on mechanisms underlying giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). These phenomena are of considerable interest in the context of high density magnetic storage media. The films will be prepared at HP and characterization at the LSU Center for Advanced Microstructures Devices (CAMD). The CAMDE synchrotron light source will be used to study the electronic structure and Fermi surface properties of industrially relevant materials. The results will be of fundamental interest and should also lead to the development of improved materials. %%% This Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) research will develop a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying magnetic and resistive properties of materials used magnetic storage media like computer hard drives. The collaboration involves Hewlett-Packard Laboratories (production of thin film hetero-structures) and the Louisiana State University's Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD) (film characterization using photoelectron spectroscopy). The materials of interest include giant magnetoresistive (GMR) hetero-structures and colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) perovskites. ***
