Published: June 2007

We have investigated the magnetoelastic nature of the dodecagonal anisotropy in the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) in the basal plane of the hcp crystalline structure in holmium single crystal. We have proved that the origin of the second harmonic of the hexagonal symmetry in MAE clearly lies on a sixth-order magnetoelastic coupling term. The appearance of a 12-fold anisotropy in MAE in a single crystal having hexagonal symmetry provides a new insight on how the magnetic anisotropy can be modified in a magnetic material with giant spin-lattice coupling.

Taking the nonlocal effect into account, the vibration governing differential equation and boundary conditions of a magnetostrictive composite cantilever resonator were established based on the Euler magnetoelastic beam theory. The frequency equation and vibration mode function of the composite cantilever were obtained by means of the separation of variables method and the analytic solution of ordinary differential equations. The lateral deflection, vibration governing equations, and boundary conditions were nondimensionalized.

One-dimensional (1D) interacting electrons are often described as a Luttinger liquid having properties that are intrinsically different from those of Fermi liquids in higher dimensions. In materials systems, 1D electrons exhibit exotic quantum phenomena that can be tuned by both intra- and inter-1D-chain electronic interactions, but their experimental characterization can be challenging. Here we demonstrate that layer-stacking domain walls (DWs) in van der Waals heterostructures form a broadly tunable Luttinger liquid system, including both isolated and coupled arrays.

Magnetic skyrmions have great potential for developing novel spintronic devices. The electrical manipulation of skyrmions has mainly relied on current-induced spin-orbit torques. Recently, it was suggested that the skyrmions could be more efficiently manipulated by surface acoustic waves (SAWs), an elastic wave that can couple with magnetic moment via the magnetoelastic effect.
