1.)M. From, Z. Altounian ; Brillouin Light Scattering study of Fe/Ag Multilayers.

Submitted for publication.

I was the main contributor to this paper (roughly 80%). I did the BLS measurements, analysis of the data, and wrote the text. My colleague, Zaven Altounian, provided samples and suggested some changes to the text.

I contributed a relatively small amount to this paper (roughly 15%), by way of Brillouin Light Scattering measurements done at WWU. Another author, Duncan Harrison is a WWU alum and former research student of mine. However at the time of the article being published he was a graduate student at SFU.
