0301930BrownThe International Research Fellowship Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty-four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a twelve-month research fellowship by Dr. Heather L. Brown to work with Dr. Amanda K. Petford-Long at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Co-support is provided by the Math and Physical Sciences Directorate's Office of Multi-disciplinary Activities.Exchange biased layers form important components in magnetic multilayer systems used for advanced data storage and sensing application. Better understanding of the interactions that can take place between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic films will be of interest particularly in regard to the role that the interface plays. During this fellowship, the PI will learn three new and powerful techniques that have applicability to a wide range of film systems. The PI will study films whose bulk properties she has already measured. These three techniques will provide a good description of the film microstructure, the local elemental distribution around the interface and the magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic layer. From these a fuller characterization of the interface should be possible.

Petford-Long博士在英国牛津大学开展为期12个月的研究。共同支持由数学和物理科学理事会的多学科活动办公室提供。交换偏置层是用于高级数据存储和传感应用的磁性多层系统的重要组成部分。更好地理解铁磁和反铁磁薄膜之间可能发生的相互作用将会引起人们的兴趣，特别是关于界面所起的作用。在此期间，PI将学习三种新的强大技术，这些技术适用于广泛的电影系统。PI将研究她已经测量过的体积特性的薄膜。这三种技术将很好地描述薄膜微观结构、界面周围局部元素分布和铁磁层的磁性。通过这些，应该可以对界面进行更全面的描述。
