Research paper thumbnail of Magnon excitation by spin-polarized direct currents in magnetic nanostructures

In such a system, spin waves ͑magnons͒ may be critically driven out of equilibrium by an effective spin-injection field that is proportional to the current density. A direct comparison between the predicted critical current and previous experimental results sheds light on the nature of the excited mode. Beyond the threshold, it is assumed that the spin waves are coupled through nonlinear interactions arising from dipolar and surface anisotropy energies. It is shown that the magnon-magnon interactions play two major roles in the dynamics: ͑i͒ They govern and put a limit to the growth in the population of the unstable mode from the thermal level, and ͑ii͒ directly contribute to the renormalization of the magnon energy, which manifests itself through a shift in the precession frequency of the magnetic moments with varying current intensity. Numerical results are presented in remarkable quantitative agreement with recent experiments in nanometric magnetic multilayers, where microwave oscillations generated by direct currents have been observed in the postthreshold regime.

The magnons are driven out of equilibrium by a microwave current applied in the trilayer through point contacts. The magnitude of the scattering intensity is investigated as a function of the magnon wave number and applied magnetic field. Confirming recent theoretical predictions, the observations provide strong evidence of electronic spin injection in the rf driving field.

It is shown that nonlinear effects due to four-magnon interactions arising from dipolar and surface anisotropy energies limit the growth of the driven spin wave and produce shifts in the microwave frequency oscillations. The theory explains quantitatively recent experimental results in nanometric point contacts onto magnetic multilayers showing downward frequency shifts (redshifts) with increasing current, if the external field is on the film plane, and upward shifts (blueshifts), if the field is perpendicular to the film.

The increase in Sm content increases the lattice parameter and decreases the mean grain size. The material treated at 600 1C should be single spinel ferrite but with low magnetization saturation. Calcinations carried out at 800 and 1000 1C resulted in materials with cubic spinel phase, but a small amount of SmFeO 3 was also formed. A smooth diminution of the saturation magnetization with an increase in Sm amount was observed. The highest Curie temperatures were obtained for sample treatment at 1000 1C with higher Sm content. r

We tested the hypothesis that use of a high dose of a standard heparin bolus could achieve an acceptable rate of re-opening occluded infarct-related arteries thus providing an alternative to chemical thrombolysis before admission of the patient to hospital, and a pretreatment for primary angioplasty. Forty-eight patients who presented within 12 h of acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation were assigned randomly to groups to receive aspirin (200 mg orally) and high-dose standard heparin 300 U/kg as an intravenous bolus (n = 25), or aspirin and placebo bolus (n = 23). Thereafter, all patients underwent coronary arteriography to assess their suitability for primary angioplasty. The high-dose heparin group had greater patency rate (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction grade 2 or 3 flow in the infarct-related artery) than the placebo group (52% compared with 13%, P = 0.006). Hemorrhages related to the puncture site that required blood transfusion occurred in two of 25 and in one of 23 patients in the high-dose heparin and placebo groups, respectively. Our study suggests that high-dose standard heparin does have a thrombolytic action when administered as an intravenous bolus.
