Despite the crucial role of interfacial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in a Co(Fe)/MgO-based magnetic tunnel junction, the underlying mechanism is still being debated. Here, we report an anatomical study of the oxygen and Mg effect on Pt/Co bilayers through repeated in situ anomalous Hall effect measurements, controlled oxygen exposure, and Mg deposition in an ultrahigh vacuum system. We found that chemisorbed oxygen not only quenches the effective magnetic moment of the Co surface layer, but also softens its magnetic anisotropy. However, a subsequent Mg dusting on the oxygen preexposed Pt/Co surface can recover the magnetic anisotropy. The ab initio calculations on the exchange splitting and orbital hybridization near the Fermi level give a clear physical explanation of the experimental observations. Our results suggest that the Co(Fe)-O-M bond plays a more important role than the widely perceived Co(Fe)-O bond does in realizing interfacial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in Co(Fe)/MgO heterostructures.

Argumentation in multi-agent systems provides both a mechanism for agent reasoning under uncertainty and conflicting information as well as for communication in a more elaborate way, allowing agents to understand each other through the exchange of additional information when compared to other forms of agent communication. Even though argumentation techniques can play an important role in multi-agent systems, little research has been carried out on the issues in integrating argumentation techniques and agent-oriented programming languages, which would allow the development of practical applications taking advantage of such combined techniques. In this work, we present an argumentation framework developed on the basis of an agent-oriented programming language. We cover mainly the practical aspects of such integration, focusing on the knowledge representation expressivity resulting from it. Our approach allows the development of multi-agent applications where agents are able to use arguments in their decision-making processes as well as for communication. The framework has been successfully used as part of the development of a healthcare multi-agent prototype application.

Argumentation-based reasoning plays an important role in agent reasoning and communication. In this work, we extend an argumentation-based reasoning mechanism to take into account preferences over arguments supporting contrary conclusions. Such preferences come from elements that are present or can be more easily obtained in the context of practical multi-agent programming platforms, such as multiple sources from which the information (used to construct the arguments) was acquired, as well as varying degrees of trust on them. Further, we introduce different agent profiles by varying the way certain operators are applied over the various information sources. Unlike previous approaches, our approach accounts for multiple sources for a single piece of information and is based on an argumentation-based reasoning mechanism implemented on a multi-agent platform.
