Promising designs and experimental realizations of devices with unusual properties in the
field of plasmonics have attracted a great deal of attention over the past few decades …

Plasmonic devices, made of apertures or antennas, have played significant roles in
advancing the fields of optics and opto-electronics by offering subwavelength manipulation …

The key problem currently faced by plasmonics is related to material limitations. After almost
two decades of extreme excitement and research largely based on the use of noble metals …

We have demonstrated that multi-wavelength Raman and photoluminescence
spectroscopies are sufficient to completely characterize the structural properties of ultra-thin …

In this paper, an alternative magnetic recording architecture and corresponding signal
processing schemes are presented, named interlaced magnetic recording (IMR). Tracks are …

A systematic study was performed on mechanical and microstructural properties of Ti/Ni
multilayers with layer thickness from 200 nm to 6 nm and annealing temperature from room …

Ultrafast laser-induced magnetization dynamics in ferromagnetic thin films were measured
using a femtosecond Ti: sapphire laser in a pump-probe magneto-optic Kerr effect setup …

In heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology for hard disk drives, the media will
be heated to about 500 C during the writing process in order to reduce its magnetic …

Currently, heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology has been proposed as a
method for enabling higher storage density. In this paper, the molecular dynamic simulation …

High coercivity (H c) Co-rich type Co–Pt alloy thin films with a columnar grain structure were
deposited at room temperature (RT) by magnetron sputtering. Films with a thickness (t) of up …
