Thermal robustness of magnetic tunnel junctions with perpendicular shape anisotropy.

The concept of Perpendicular Shape Anisotropy STT-MRAM (PSA-STT-MRAM) has been recently proposed as a solution to enable the downsize scalability of STT-MRAM devices beyond the sub-20 nm technology node. For conventional p-STT-MRAM devices with sub-20 nm diameters, the perpendicular anisotropy arising from the MgO/CoFeB interface becomes too weak to ensure thermal stability of the storage layer. In addition, this interfacial anisotropy rapidly decreases with increasing temperature which constitutes a drawback in applications with a large range of operating temperatures.

Microwave amplification in a magnetic tunnel junction induced by heat-to-spin conversion at the nanoscale.

Heat-driven engines are hard to realize in nanoscale machines because of efficient heat dissipation. However, in the realm of spintronics, heat has been employed successfully-for example, heat current has been converted into a spin current in a NiFe|Pt bilayer system, and Joule heating has enabled selective writing in magnetic memory arrays. Here, we use Joule heating in nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions to create a giant spin torque due to a magnetic anisotropy change.

A highly thermally stable sub-20 nm magnetic random-access memory based on perpendicular shape anisotropy.

A new approach to increase the downsize scalability of perpendicular STT-MRAM is presented. It consists of significantly increasing the thickness of the storage layer in out-of-plane magnetized tunnel junctions (pMTJ) as compared to conventional pMTJ in order to induce a perpendicular shape anisotropy (PSA) in this layer. This PSA is obtained by depositing a thick ferromagnetic (FM) layer on top of an MgO/FeCoB based magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) so that the thickness of the storage layer is of the order of or larger than the diameter of the MTJ pillar.

Fabrication of nanotweezers and their remote actuation by magnetic fields.

A new kind of nanodevice that acts like tweezers through remote actuation by an external magnetic field is designed. Such device is meant to mechanically grab micrometric objects. The nanotweezers are built by using a top-down approach and are made of two parallelepipedic microelements, at least one of them being magnetic, bound by a flexible nanohinge.

[Monitoring of human physiological functions during the daily night sleep].

The basic somnological methodology, which is extensively used in the present time, focuses only on clinical practice. However, this approach is not appropriate for monitoring of physiological functions during natural sleep under home conditions. Our work was designed to develop a new information-and-equipment device for the reliable study of human physiological functions during sleep in the real everyday life.

Pathologic morphology of acute experimental osteomyelitis.

The goal of our work was to study the changes in the bone tissue, bone marrow and surrounding tissues in animals during early stages of experimental osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis was simulated in 30 infants rabbits aged 3-4 months whose body weight accounted 1200-1600 grams through the insertion of 5-6 million of aurococcus into the marrow channel of a shinbone. The study of bone marrow, bone tissue and surrounding tissue was conducted 30 minutes, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 60 hours after the contamination with the help of light and electronic (transmission and scanning) microscopy.

Spontaneous anomalous and spin Hall effects due to spin-orbit scattering of evanescent wave functions in magnetic tunnel junctions.

We theoretically investigated the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and spin Hall effect (SHE) transversal to the insulating spacer I, in magnetic tunnel junctions of the form F/I/F where the F's are ferromagnetic layers and I represents a tunnel barrier. We considered the case of purely ballistic (quantum mechanical) transport. These effects arise because of the asymmetric scattering of evanescent wave functions due to the spin-orbit interaction in the tunnel barrier.

[Physico-chemical and biophysical factors of post-injection aggression of the drug solutions in infiltrated tissues and methods of necrosis prevention].

Ultrasonic visualization of infiltration of the soft tissues increases precision of injection of drug solutions to the appointment place. It's proved that water for injection and 0,25% solution of novocainum can be used as antidote of hyperosmotic solutions and 5% solution of Natrii citrate is offered as antidote to calcium preparations. Fastly injection of these drugs infiltration caused by error injection of connective tissues by antidotes of hyperosmotic solutions and calcii preparation prevent post-injection necrosis.

[Impact of isovolumic hemodilution on the local hemodynamics of the resected stomach in patients with ulcer disease].

The influence of isovolumic hemodilution on the local hemodynamics of the resected stomach in patients with a complicated course of duodenal ulcer was studied. In the course of the analysis of parameters of the local blood flow of the intact and resected stomach, the best indices were received in patients with preoperative isovolumic hemodilution. Preoperative isovolumic hemodilution in patients with a complicated course of duodenal ulcer after the stomach resection reduces the risk of early postoperative complications.

[Individual prospects of control over process of transfer of solid and liquid drugs inside the stomach].

It was discovered that patients with stomach ulcers take anti-ulcer drugs while standing, sitting, lying, or moving in the space. The overwhelming majority of them take drugs while sitting and keep the same position almost without any motion during one hour.

A method for lysozyme measurement in the urine is developed, based on adsorption of lysozyme molecules on the surface of chitin. The urine of healthy children, men, and women contains 1.76, 1.

The paper outlines an intraosseous paracentesic tool, a needle-screw device that combines the properties of a drill and a hollow tube with external thread. The techniques of bone paracentesis and appropriate procedures are described. The results of examining osseous injuries while using various tools to form perforating tools have shown that the needle-screw device has advantages over others.

A method for measuring fucose not bound to proteins in the serum is developed. The level of this enzyme is shown to increase with age. It is increased in adult patients with myeloma, liver cirrhosis, and rheumatic fever and in children with exacerbations of chronic osteomyelitis and gastroduodenitis.
