APS posts Nobel Prize articles free

[Gene Sprouse <sprouse@ridge.aps.org>]

The American Physical Society is pleased to announce that both of 
the original articles describing the work that led to this year's 
physics Nobel Prize have been made "Free-to-Read" so they can be 
downloaded without a subscription.  Links to the articles follow:

Enhanced magnetoresistance in layered magnetic structures with 
antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange( G. Binasch, P. Gruenberg, 
F. Saurenbach, and W. Zinn, Phys. Rev. B 39, 4828 (1989)): 
http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PRB/v39/i7/p4828_1

Giant Magnetoresistance of (001)Fe/(001)Cr Magnetic 
Superlattices(M. N. Baibich, J. M. Broto, A. Fert, F. Nguyen Van 
Dau, F. Petroff,  P. Eitenne, G. Creuzet, A. Friederich, and J. 
Chazelas, Phys. Rev. Lett. 61, 2472 (1988)):

In addition, to honor the 50th anniversary celebration of the 
Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer Theory of Superconductivity being held 
Oct 10-13 at the Univ. of Illinois, the APS has also made the 
three original BCS papers "Free-to-Read"

Bound Electron Pairs in a Degenerate Fermi Gas (L.N. Cooper, 
Phys. Rev. 104, 1189 (1956)) Microscopic Theory of 
Superconductivity (J. Bardeen, L.N. Cooper: 
http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PR/v104/i4/p1189_1

and

J. R. Schrieffer, Phys. Rev. 106, 162 (1957)) Theory of 
Superconductivity (J. Bardeen, L. N. Cooper, and J. R. 
Schrieffer, Phys. Rev. 108, 1175 (1957)): 
http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PR/v106/i1/p162_1

We are honored to have published these seminal works that have 
become the basis for many important technological developments.
