Advanced Soft Magnetic Materials for Magnetic Recording Heads and Integrated Inductors

High performance magnetic heads, inductors and transformers, indispensable to information technology encompassing from information storage, portable power delivery, to wireless communication, require soft magnetic films with low coercivities, high permeability, and large ferromagnetic resonance frequencies. The Fe-Co-N-based films have a ferromagnetic resonance frequency of >1 GHz at zerobias f...

Fluid Mechanics, Drag Reduction and Advanced Configuration Aeronautics

Paper discusses Advanced Aircraft configurational approaches, across the speed range, which are either enabled, or greatly enhanced, by clever Flow Control. Configurations considered include Channel Wings with circulation control for VTOL [but non-hovering] operation with high cruise speed, strut-braced CTOL transports with wing-tip engines and extensive [ÒnaturalÓ] laminar flow control, a midw...

Ionic Liquids for Advanced Materials

Multidisciplinary research has served as the cornerstone of the first year ILEAD MURI programs leading to working collaborations among scientists and engineers with graduate student exchanges, real-time feedback, and multidisciplinary peer-reviewed publications. The MURI research team is organized according to interdisciplinary and integrative fundamental questions of science and engineering, a...

Polyfunctionalized tetrathiafulvalenes for advanced materials

Four topics developed in our group are presented. They deal with i) 1,4-dithiafulven-6yl subtituted TTFs or analogs of TTF behaving as space extended, S-rich and hypervalent strong π-donors, ii) fullerene C60-TTF assemblies prone to undergo intramolecular electron transfers, iii) O, S and N crown ether-TTF assemblies, behaving as redox switchable metal cation complexing agents, and iv) dendrime...
