We investigate the interplay of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions and an external field in spin-1∕2 dimers. For isolated dimers and at low field, we derive simple expressions for the staggered and uniform magnetizations which show that the orientation of ...
We present a microscopic theory for the phonon-driven decay of the magnetization fluctuations in a wide class of nanomagnets where the dominant energy is set by isotropic exchange and/or uniaxial anisotropy. Based on the Zwanzig-Mori projection formalism, ...
We study a diffusive superconductor--ferromagnet--superconductor (SFS) junction with in-plane ferromagnetic domains. Close to the superconducting transition temperature, we describe the proximity effect in the junction with the linearized Usadel equations. ...
We present a combined experimental, computational, and semianalytical study of the magnetization dynamics of permalloy disks and nanostructured rings with a systematically varied ring width. We investigate the dynamics of the quasisaturated state. In the c ...
We study a diffusive superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor (SFS) junction with in-plane ferromagnetic domains. Close to the superconducting transition temperature, we describe the proximity effect in the junction with the linearized Usadel equations [P ...
We show that Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions can substantially modify the phase diagram of spin-1/2 Heisenberg ladders in a magnetic field provided they compete with exchange. For nonfrustrated ladders, they induce a local magnetization along the D ...
During the last several years, new lead-free piezoelectric materials have been developed to replace the lead-based materials, such as PZT. Presently, the family of lead-free ceramics showing the most promising piezoelectric properties is based on potassium ...
We study phase separation in a deeply quenched colloid-polymer mixture in microgravity on the International Space Station using small-angle light scattering and direct imaging. We observe a clear crossover from early-stage spinodal decomposition to late-st ...
Effective-medium theory and inelastic neutron scattering are used to study the magnetic excitations in the Ising ferromagnet LiHoF4 near its magnetic-field-induced quantum phase transition (QPT). As expected, the dominant mode softens at the QPT, but reach ...
AllnN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on sapphire substrate have yielded a maximum drain current density of 1.26 A/mm with a current gain cutoff and maximum oscillation frequencies about 26 and 40 GHz, respectively, for a 0.25 mu m gate leng ...
