Metal-dielectric Au-Co-SiO(2) magnetoplasmonic nanodisks are found to exhibit large magneto-optical activity and low optical losses. The internal architecture of the nanodisks is such that, in resonant conditions, the electromagnetic field undertakes a particular spatial distribution. This makes it possible to maximize the electromagnetic field at the magneto-optically active layers and minimize it in the other, optically lossy ones.

Spiral Annealing of Magnetic Microwires.

Sensors (Basel)

September 2024

Department of Polymers and Advanced Materials, University of Basque Country, UPV/EHU, 20018 San Sebastian, Spain.

A preprocessing technique named "spiral annealing" was applied for the first time to magnetic microwires. In this process, the sample was arranged in a flat spiral shape during annealing, and subsequent measurements were conducted on the unbent sample with the induced stress distribution along and transverse to the sample. The research utilized both magnetic and magneto-optical methods.

Article Synopsis
  • Transition-metal centers, specifically chromium (Cr) and manganese (Mn), show potential as paramagnetic spin defects in wide-bandgap semiconductors like AlN and GaN, making them valuable for applications in nanophotonics and quantum information processing.
  • The study employs advanced hybrid density functional theory to analyze the electronic structure, stability, and optical properties of these centers, predicting their behavior and interactions under various conditions.
  • Results indicate that these substitutional centers produce narrow quantum emissions around 1.2 eV, confirming their potential as effective spin qubits due to their favorable zero-field splitting parameters and proposed optical spin polarization methods.*

The photocatalytic properties of CoFeO nanoparticles were activated by the doping and co-doping of a low level of Y and Sm cations. After optimizing the annealing temperature, 900 °C was found to be the optimal temperature for the successful incorporation of Y and Sm into the spinel structure. The purity of our samples annealed at 900 °C was confirmed using several characterization methods, including PXRD, SEM, XPS, VSM, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy.

In this study, we propose and simulate a magnetoplasmonics heterostructure that utilizes spin-orbit fields to generate an internal magnetic field and create a significant magneto-optical effect. Our approach offers a new way to overcome the challenges of using permanent magnets or magnetic coils in conventional magnetoplasmonics, such as high-power consumption and non-scalability. We demonstrate that it is possible to create an appropriate amount of magnetic field using spin-orbit fields induced by the spin-Hall effect, such that the consumption power becomes reasonable and the dimensions could be miniaturized.

The magneto-optical response of chiral materials holds significant potential for applications in physics, chemistry, and biology. However, exploration of the near-infrared (NIR) magneto-optical response remains limited. Herein, we report the synthesis and strong NIR-II magneto-optical activity of three pairs of chiral 34 clusters of (Ln = Sm, Gd, and Dy).
