Abstract:
Some mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of high Tc superconductors such as (Ba, Y) cuprates can be substantially improved by the dispersal of an appropriate metal in the superconductive body. For instance, mixing Ag particles with superconductive powder of nominal composition Ba2YCu3O7 and processing the mixture in the conventional manner can produce superconductive bodies having Tc of about 93 K and substantially greater fracture strength and normal state electrical and thermal conductivity than otherwise identical bodies that do not contain Ag particles.
Abstract:
The invention is embodied in a soft magnetic thin film article comprising an iron--chromium-nitrogen (Fe--Cr--N) based alloy and methods for making such article. The soft magnetic thin film article is formed using an iron--chromium--nitrogen based alloy with tantalum in one embodiment and with at least one of the elements titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), vanadium (V), molybdenum (Mo), niobium (Nb) or tungsten (W) in another embodiment. The article is formed such that the alloy has a relatively high saturation magnetization (e.g., greater than approximately 15 kG) and a relatively low coercivity (e.g., less than approximately 2.0 oersteds) in an as-deposited condition or, alternatively, with a very low temperature treatment (e.g., below approximately 150.degree. C.). The inventive films are suitable for use in electromagnetic devices, for example, in microtransformer cores, inductor cores and in magnetic read-write heads.

A thin film inductive element according to this invention comprises an elongate conductor, and spaced apart magnetic strips that substantially surround the conductor, with dielectric material between the magnetic strips and the conductor. The inductive element can have relatively high inductance and low loss, can be used in linear form, meander on spiral form, or any other desired form, is suitable for use at RF frequencies, and can be integrated with conventional circuitry. Criteria for choosing the length of the magnetic strips and the thickness of the dielectric are disclosed.

A class of superconductive materials containing copper-oxygen bonding and with mixed cation-occupancy designed with a view to size and valence consideration yield useful values of critical temperature and other properties. Uses entail all applications which involves superconducting materials such as magnets and transmission lines which require continuous superconductivity paths as well as detectors (e.g., which may rely on tunneling).

Abstract:
The device has a single strip having a first end, a second end, a length and a width. The first end of the strip is curved toward the second end of the strip to form a loop having a height. The length is approximately 10 mm, the width is approximately 5-8 mm, and the height is approximately 0.8-1.2 mm. The loop is preferably fabricated from copper. The loop is mounted directly to a test instrument such as a computer controlled impedance analyzer or network analyzer. The test instrument measures the inductance and resistance of the loop with no thin film sample placed therein, and then measures the inductance and resistance of the loop containing the sample under test. From these measurements, the device ultimately derives the permeability of the sample under test. The method for measuring the complex permeability of thin films at ultra-high frequencies includes the steps of recording the residual inductance and resistance for the loop empty; measuring the total inductance and resistance for the loop loaded with the sample under test; determining the change in resistance by subtracting the resistance of the loop without any sample from the resistance when the loop is loaded with the sample under test; determining the change in inductance by subtracting the inductance of the loop without any sample from the inductance when the loop is loaded with the sample under test; and calculating permeability.
Abstract:
A ferrite layer formation process that may be performed at a lower temperature than conventional ferrite formation processes. The formation process may produce highly anisotropic structures. A ferrite layer is deposited on a substrate while the substrate is exposed to a magnetic field. An intermediate layer may be positioned between the substrate and the ferrite to promote bonding of the ferrite to the substrate. The process may be performed at temperatures less than 300° C. Ferrite film anisotropy may be achieved by embodiments of the invention in the range of about 1000 dyn-cm/cm3 to about 2×106 dyn-cm/cm3.

Abstract:
The present invention is a planar spiral inductor a top magnetic layer a bottom magnetic layer; and a plurality of conductive coils disposed between said top magnetic layer and said bottom magnetic layer. A significant difference from prior art is that the top and bottom magnetic layers have their centers effectively cut out using lithographic techniques or other techniques to frame the core of the conductive spirals. An advantage of this structure over the prior art is that when magnetic anisotropies other than shape are kept small, then the magnetic configuration will produce a magnetostatic shape anisotropy such that the easy axis (low energy direction of magnetization) lies parallel to the legs of a rectangular frame or the circumference of a circular frame, as will be described. During operation of the inductor, the field produced by the coils flows in a radial direction and will be perpendicular to the easy axis direction thereby causing magnetization reversal to occur by rotation while advantageously utilizing the full structure in this mode.
