  • The photodissociation dynamics of CH2I2 has been studied at 304 nm by state-selective photofragment translational spectroscopy. Velocity distributions, anisotropy parameters, and relative quantum yields are obtained for the ground I(2P3/2) and spin-orbit excited state I*(2P1/2) iodine atoms, which are produced from photodissociation of CH2I2 at this wavelength. These processes are found to occur via B1 ← A1 type electronic transitions. The quantum yield of I*(2P1/2) is determined to be 0.25, indicating that the formation of ground state iodine is clearly the favored dissociation channel in the 304 nm wavelength region. From the angular distribution of dissociation products, the anisotropy parameters are determined to be β(I)=0.4 for the I(2P3/2) and β(I*)=0.55 for the I*(2P1/2) which substantially differ from the limiting value of 1.13. The positive values of anisotropy parameter, however, show that the primary processes for I and I* formation channels proceed dominantly via a transition which is parallel to I-I axis. The above results are interpreted in terms of dual path formation of iodine atoms from two different excited states, i.e., a direct and an indirect dissociation via curve crossing between these states. The translational energy distributions of recoil fragments reveal that a large fraction of the available energy goes into the internal excitation of the CH2I photofragment; < Eint > /Eavl=0.80 and 0.82 for the I and I* formation channels, respectively. The quantitative analysis for the energy partitioning of available energy into the photofragments is used to compare the experimental results with the prediction of direct impulsive model for photodissociation dynamics.

  • Very recently, it was presented that the one dimensional (1D) CuO atomic chains can maintain large magnetic moments. In this work, we analyzed m-resolved density of states (DOS) to understand the peculiar spin polarization occurred in Cu atoms. It was found that the $\mid{m}\mid=1$ states play an essential role in the spin polarization of Cu atoms. In addition, we calculated magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) and observed that the distribution of MAE is strongly sensitive to the interatomic distance between Cu and O atoms. Besides, it was revealed that the contribution to MAE comes for the second half of Brillouin zone (BZ).

  • The mechanism responsible for liquid crystal (LC) alignment on solid substrates treated with mechanical rubbing or polarized UV is not understood. The results of x-ray reflectivity study of LC alignment on a large number of different alignment layers show that the anisotropy in the surface roughness of the substrate completely determines the LC alignment. The anchoring energy depends on the degree of roughness anisotropy and chemical interactions between the substrate and LC molecules.

  • The grain growth is very important because of its great influence on the various materials properties. Therefore, in this study, the effects of anisotropic grain boundary energy on grain growth in 2-D have been investigated with a large scale phase field simulation model on PC. A $2000{\times}2000$ grid system and the initial number of grains of about 73,000 were used in the computer simulation. The anisotropic ratio of grain boundary energy, ${\sigma}_{max}/{\sigma}_{min}$, has been varied from 1 to 3. As the anisotropy increased, the grain growth exponent, n, increased from 2.05 to 2.37. The grain size distribution showed a central plateau in the isotropic case, and was changed into no central plateau and the increasing population of very small grains in the anisotropic case, resulting from slowly disappearing grains. Finally, simulated microstructures were compared according to anisotropy.

  • The grain-boundary microcracking materials in the system $Al_2$TiO$_{5}$ -ZrTiO$_4$(ZAT) is influenced by the thermal expansion anisotropy. The range of ZAT compositions investigated had showed very low thermal expansions of 0.3~1.3$\times$10$^{-6}$ K loin compared to 8.29$\times$10$^{6}$ K of pure ZrTiO$_4$and 0.68$\times$10$^{6}$ K of polycrystalline $Al_2$TiO$_{5}$ , respectively, compared with the theoretical thermal expansion coefficient for a single crystal of $Al_2$TiO$_{5}$ , 9.70$\times$10$^{6}$ K. The low thermal expansion and microcraking temperature are apparently due to a combination of thermal contraction and expansion caused by the large thermal expansion anisotropy of the crystal a ies of the $Al_2$TiO$_{5}$ phase.

  • The grain-boundary microcracking materials in the system A1$_2$Ti $O_{5}$ -ZrTi $O_4$(ZAT) is influenced by the thermal expansion anisotropy. The range of ZAT compositions investigated had showed very low thermal expansions of 0.3~1.3$\times$10$^{-6}$K compared to 8.29$\times$10$^{-6}$K of pure ZrTi $O_4$and 0.68$\times$10$^{-6}$K of polycrystalline A1$_2$Ti $O_{5}$ , respectively, compared with the theoretical thermal expansion coefficient for a single crystal of A1$_2$Ti $O_{5}$ , 9.70$\times$10$^{-6}$K. The low thermal expansion and microcraking temperature are apparently due to a combination of thermal contraction and expansion caused by the large thermal expansion anisotropy of the crystal axes of the A1$_2$Ti $O_{5}$ phase.

  • We conducted a micromagnetic modeling study to investigate the spin torque oscillator (STO) using a perpendicular polarizer. We used an additional layer of negative anisotropy constant materials (NAM) on a conventional STO. For the NAM layer, the magnetic easy plane is parallel to the in-plane easy axis of the free layer, and inhibits the development of the out-of-plane component of the magnetization in the free layer. As a result, this new type of STO provides a high frequency limit up to 50 GHz.

  • Using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method, the influences of uniform and tetragonal strains on the magnetic state have been explored for chemically ordered bulk $L1_2$ $FePt_3$. The ordered state displays antiferromagnetic $Q_1$ (AFM-$Q_1$) state but it transitions into antiferromagnetic $Q_2$ (AFM-$Q_2$) state at about 10% uniform strain. The ferromagnetic (FM) state is observed at 11% uniform strain. For tetragonal strain, it is also seen that the transition from AFM-$Q_1$ to AFM-$Q_2$ depends on the strength and direction of the applied strain. The FM state does not appear in this case. Magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) calculations for tetragonal distortion reveal that the spin reorientation transition occurs. In addition, we find that the direction of magnetization and the magnitude of magnetic anisotropy energy strongly depend on the c/a ratio.
