Magnetic Properties of Nanocrystals
Abstract
This Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) award was instrumental in developing new technological capabilities to study nanomagnetism and superconductivity, two enabling technologies for future Air Force systems. Three distinct technological measurement capabilities were developed: variable-temperature cantilever torque magnetometry; variable-temperature magnetic force microscopy; and large-scan-area fast-turnaround Hall probe microscopy optimized for studying coated conductors. This report focuses on the second two capabilities and in particular on their application to the problems of vortex pinning and dissipation in superconductors, which are an enabling technology for such critical Air Force needs as high-power microwave sources and superconducting generators.
