Erasure temperature measurements of heat assisted magnetic recording media by Chen, Y. J., Yang, H. Z., Leong, S. H., Cher, K. M., Hu, J. F., Sethi, P., Lew, Wen Siang

“…Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and magnetic Kerr microscopy observations of the scanning laser induced degradation/erasure/demagnetization of the pre-recorded magnetic patterns on disk media (over a wide area of a few hundreds of μm2) show that the magnetic (MFM and Kerr signal) amplitude of the pre-recorded magnetic patterns decreases slowly with increasing laser power (Pw) (/temperature rise) for Pw ≲ 66 mW and then drops sharply to nearly zero for Pw ≥ ∼72 mW (the laser power corresponding to complete thermal erasure when the media temperature is ∼Te). …”

Retention of the structure and function of heparan sulfate biomaterials after gamma irradiation by Smith, Raymond A. A., Chua, R. J. E., Carnachan, Susan M., Tan, Clarissa L. L., Sims, Ian M., Hinkley, Simon F. R., Nurcombe, Victor, Cool, Simon M.

“…When HS3 was gamma irradiated, no significant effect on binding affinity toward BMP2 was observed, based on competitive surface plasmon resonance and differential scanning fluorimetry assays. Furthermore, irradiation did not significantly affect HS3's ability to synergistically enhance the osteogenic effects of BMP2 in vitro; as measured by the relative abundance of osteogenic transcripts in transdifferentiating C2C12 murine myoblasts. …”
