Magnonics is an exciting and rapidly growing field revolving around the study and manipulation of magnons, the low-lying collective excitations of magnetically ordered systems. This field has emerged in response to both fundamental physics interests and th ...
Mechanical stimuli are ubiquitous in the human body. In contrast to biochemical stimuli such as pH, redox, hypoxia or enzymes as well as exogenous stimuli such as magnetic fields, temperature or ultrasound, endogenous biomechanical stimuli have only receiv ...
Although the frustrated (zigzag) spin chain is the Drosophila of frustrated magnetism, our understanding of a pair of coupled zigzag chains (frustrated spin ladder) in a magnetic field is still lacking. We address this problem through nuclear magnetic reso ...
We describe the use of grown nanowires as scanning directional force sensors. Two orthogonal flexural modes are used to demonstrate vectorial sensing of electric and magnetic fields. Furthermore, we show that the modes can be strongly coupled by demonstrat ...
We present superconducting microwave-frequency resonators based on NbTiN nanowires. The small cross section of the nanowires minimizes vortex generation, making the resonators resilient to magnetic fields. Measured intrinsic quality factors exceed 2×105 in ...
The unique optical properties of lanthanide-doped nanomaterials have made them broadly attractive to a wide range of applications in chemical, physical, and biomedical fields. As an external and real-time reg-ulation tool, the magnetic field is highly usef ...
The design and construction of compact and lightweight gantries for hadron therapy are essential steps toward wider accessibility to this cancer treatment. The use of a high-field steady-state toroidal gantry, i.e., GaToroid, represents an attractive alter ...
Precision measurements of the magnetization and ac susceptibility of Cu2OSeO3 are reported for magnetic fields along different crystallographic directions, focusing on the border between the conical and the field-polarized state for a magnetic field along ...
The AC loss measurements of the high temperature superconductor (HTS) cable prototype in the EDIPO test facility motivated detailed investigations of the loss contributions from the tape, strand and cable stages of the HTS fusion conductor design proposed ...
Multiferroic materials show, in a single phase, at least two ferroic properties. The latter are are (anti-)ferroelectricity, (anti-)ferromagnetism or (anti-)ferroelasticity. Interesting applications can use the properties of multiferroics, especially with ...
