In our studies, we combined two powdered materials, i.e., ferroelectric triglycine sulfate (TGS) and ferrimagnetic magnetite FeO, to obtain a magnetoelectric composite.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe study the dispersion and scattering properties of electromagnetic modes coupled to a helically ordered spin lattice hosted by a dielectric oxide with a ferroelectric polarization driven by vector spin chirality. Quasianalytical approaches and full-fledged numerics evidence the formation of a chiral magnonic photonic band gap and the presence of gate-voltage dependent circular dichroism in the scattering of electromagnetic waves from the lattice. Gating couples to the emergent ferroelectric polarization and hence, to the underlying vector-spin chirality.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe studied the propagation of an artificial skyrmion coupled to the vortex domain wall (VDW). We discovered the following effect: depending on the propagation's direction, the dynamics of the coupled skyrmion VDW can be faster than the isolated VDW's velocity. The reason for such behavior is the structural distortion that occurs in the coupled system.

The optical lattice is the essence of the standing interference pattern of the surface plasmon polaritons created through coherent or incoherent laser sources. The nodal points of the interference pattern play the role of lattice sites where skyrmions are confined.

These findings have ultimately led to creating antitumour immunotherapies in patients with different kind of cancer including prostate cancer. The increasing number of reports confirms that immune-based therapies have clinical benefit in patients with prostate cancer with potentially less toxicity in comparison with traditional systemic treatments including surgical resection, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy in various forms.

We suggest and demonstrate via large scale numerical simulations an electrically operated spin-wave inducer based on composite multiferroic junctions. Specifically, we consider an interfacially coupled ferromagnetic/ferroelectric structure that emits controllably spin waves in the ferromagnets if the ferroelectric polarization is poled by an external electric field. The roles of geometry and material properties are discussed.

We perform analytical and numerical simulations based on discretized, coupled equations for the self-consistent Maxwell/ferroelectric/ferromagnetic dynamics and obtain a biquadratic relation for the refractive index. Various scenarios of ordinary and negative refraction in different frequency ranges are analyzed and quantified by simple analytical formula that are confirmed by full-fledge numerical simulations.

The driving mechanism is an exchange torque fueled by magnon accumulation at the DWs. Depending on the thickness of the sample, both hot-to-cold and cold-to-hot DW motion directions are possible.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe study the dynamics of an electron confined in a one-dimensional double-well potential in the presence of driving external magnetic fields. The orbital motion of the electron is coupled to the spin dynamics by spin-orbit interaction of the Dresselhaus type. We derive an effective time-dependent model Hamiltonian for the orbital motion of the electron and obtain a condition for synchronization of the orbital and the spin dynamics.

The nonlinear-oscillating system in action-angle variables is characterized by the dependence of frequency of oscillation ω(I) on action I. Periodic perturbation is capable of realizing in the system a stable nonlinear resonance at which the action I adapts to the resonance condition ω(I(0))≃ω, that is, "sticking" in the resonance frequency. For a particular physical problem there may be a case when I≫ℏ is the classical quantity, whereas its correction ΔI≃ℏ is the quantum quantity.

We study the magnetization dynamics of a single molecular nanomagnet driven by static and variable magnetic fields within a classical treatment. The underlying analysis is valid for a regime where the energy is definitely lower than the anisotropy barrier, but still a substantial number of states are excited. We find the phase space to contain a separatrix line.

We study a chain of nonlinear interacting spins driven by a static and a time-dependent magnetic field. The aim is to identify the conditions for the locally and temporally controlled spin switching. Analytical and full numerical calculations show the possibility of stochastic control if the underlying semiclassical dynamics is chaotic.

In the present paper we investigate the pendulum with the aim to reveal the properties of a quantum analogue of dynamic stochasticity or, in other words, to obtain the basic properties of quantum chaos. It is shown that a periodic perturbation of the quantum pendulum (similarly to the classical one) in the neighborhood of the separatrix can bring about irreversible phenomena.

The quantum-mechanical investigation of nonlinear resonance in terms of approximation to moderate nonlinearity is reduced to the investigation of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the Mathieu-Schrodinger equation. The eigenstates of the Mathieu-Schrodinger equation are nondegenerate in a certain area of pumping amplitude values in the neighborhood of the classical separatrix. Outside this area, the system finds itself in a degenerate state for both small and large pumping amplitude values.

The motion of a nonlinearly oscillating particle under the influence of a periodic sequence of short impulses is investigated. We analyze the Schrödinger equation for the universal Hamiltonian. It is shown that the quantum criterion of overlapping of resonances is of the form lambdaK>or=1, where K is the classical coefficient of stochasticity and lambda is the functional defined with the use of Mathieu functions.
