It has been shown that exchange coupled composite (ECC) media exhibit a superior thermal stability to switching field ratio compared to conventional perpendicular media. However, optimal media designs have employed a low magnetization hard layer. A more physically achievable design may consist of replacing the hard la…

The origin of ferromagnetism appearing as a result of a magnetic-field-induced first-order phase transition in ${\mathrm{Gd}}_{5}{\mathrm{Ge}}_{4}$ is explored by calculating the total energy, local exchange splitting, density of states, and magnetic moments. The calculations were performed using the tight-binding lin…

Femtosecond reflection spectroscopy was performed on a perovskite-type manganite, Gd0.55Sr0.45MnO3, with the short-range charge and orbital order (CO/OO). Immediately after the photoirradiation, a large increase of the reflectivity was detected in the mid-infrared region. The optical conductivity spectrum under photoi…

A local growth algorithm for a decagonal quasicrystal is presented. We show that a perfect Penrose tiling (PPT) layer can be grown on a decapod tiling layer by a three dimensional (3D) local rule growth. Once a PPT layer begins to form on the upper layer, successive 2D PPT layers can be added on top resulting in a per…
