We demonstrate a layer- and time-resolved measurement of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in a Ni81Fe19∕Cu∕Co93Zr7 trilayer structure. Time-resolved x-ray magnetic circular dichroism has been developed in transmission, with resonant field excitation at a FMR frequency of 2.3GHz. Small-angle (to 0.2°), time-domain magnetization precession could be observed directly, and resolved to individual layers through elemental contrast at Ni, Fe, and Co edges. The phase sensitivity allowed direct measurement of relative phase lags in the precessional oscillations of individual elements and layers. A weak ferromagnetic coupling, difficult to ascertain in conventional FMR measurements, is revealed in the phase and amplitude response of individual layers across resonance.

We report a method for fabricating, anisotropically designed, multiphasic nano-particles with uniform magnetic half-shells. Cobalt layers were deposited onto commercially made non-magnetic polystyrene nanospheres and microspheres, using ultrahigh vacuum vapor deposition, which produced particles with a half-shell of uniform size, shape and magnetic content. Iron was also deposited onto commercially made silica nanospheres and microspheres and was characterized using transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The coercivity of the magnetic material layers, on the substrate-supported spheres, was enhanced compared to the bulk values of such films without spheres. The particles, once removed from the substrate, were amenable to being rotated in solution, which could allow for more accurate physical and chemical measurements in a variety of fluidic environments. Applications for imaging local mechanical, magnetic and electrical environments are also delineated.

In aerial surveys conducted during the Tropical Ocean-Global Atmosphere (TOGA) Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) and the low wind component of the Coupled Boundary Layer Air-Sea Transfer (CBLAST-Low) oceanographic field programs, sea surface temperature (SST) variability at relatively short spatial scales (10's of meters to kilometers) has been observed to increase under low wind conditions. A unique data set of coincident surface and subsurface oceanic temperature measurements is used to investigate the subsurface expression of this spatially organized sea surface temperature variability, and it is shown that the SST signal is associated with oceanic internal waves. The data are used to test the two previously hypothesized mechanisms for SST signatures of oceanic internal waves: that internal wave signals in SST are caused by modulation of the cool-skin effect and that signals are caused by modulation of vertical mixing within the diurnal warm-layer. Under conditions of weak winds and strong insolation (which favor formation of a diurnal warm-layer), the data reveal a strong link between the spatially periodic SST fluctuations and subsurface temperature and velocity fluctuations associated with oceanic internal waves, suggesting that some mechanism involving the diurnal warm-layer is responsible for the observed internal wave signal. The lack of a clear internal wave signal in SST when no warm layer is present further suggests that the cool-skin straining may not be as effective a mechanism for producing internal wave signals in SST.

The inverted-pendulum method of thrust measurement for high-power electric thrusters is described analytically and experimentally. Two sources of uncertainty in the thrust measurements are investigated: those due to changes in the sensitivity of the inverted pendulum and those due to tare forces resulting from thermal stresses and electromagnetic forces acting on the flexural elements. An idealized analytical model shows that changes in sensitivity occur due to changes in the mass loading of the inverted pendulum and the temperature of the flexure elements. The sensitivity can be increased only at the expense of more stringent requirements on mass loading and thermal control. The results of the model are validated with measurements made using a carefully calibrated inverted pendulum thrust stand having several advantageous design features including gallium pots for current conduction, an optical two-axis displacement sensor, and careful consideration of flexure shape and cooling requirements. The sensitivity is shown to be constant over a wide range of operating conditions. Measurements show that thermal drifts of the stand are linear on the time scale of the thrust measurements and are less than 0.6% of the expected thrust. The thrust stand operation was demonstrated during experiments with a 30-kW lithium-fed applied-field magnetoplasmadynamic thruster. Under nominal conditions (400 A, 0.1 T, 17.5 mg/s) the thermal and electromagnetic tare forces were measured at less than 9% of the thrust and the total thrust uncertainty at ≤ 10% of the thrust.

In late 2005, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) selected a multi-University consortium led by the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) to form a University Center of Excellence (UCE) focused on the study of Preparedness and Catastrophic Event Response (PACER). One of the initial three-year cross-cutting projects being performed under the PACER UCE is the construction of an initial integrated M&S framework focused on preparing for the response to catastrophic events. This project, started in the fall of 2006, is led by the appliedphysics Laboratory of JHU (JHU/APL), and involves researchers from the University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB), Florida Atlantic University (FAU), Florida A&M University (FAMU), and the Brookings Institution. After an initial effort to catalog the variety of models and simulations appropriate to this area of study, the project will establish two prototype federations based on the High Level Architecture (HLA) - an Urban Chemical Disaster federation to be constructed in 2007-08, and a Bioterrorism Crisis Management federation to be constructed in 2008- 09. Ultimately, the M&S framework is intended to provide a composable set of simulations that can be used as an aid to decision-makers in training/rehearsal for responses to catastrophic events. This paper will outline the plans for the integrated M&S framework project, focusing on the design of the initial Urban Chemical Disaster prototype federation, the definition of its initial scenario of interest, and the focus areas of the simulations to be employed in the federation, to include airborne chemical transport and traffic flow simulation.
