Published: February 2014

In this Letter we address spin wave dynamics involved in fast and selective vortex core polarity reversal by rotating magnetic field bursts. In a first example we explain the origin of the delayed switching for excitations with short bursts of only one period duration as an interference effect between spin wave modes. Second, when the vortex core is initially no longer at rest but in gyrotropic motion, the magnetization dynamics become more complicated and the interaction of spin waves with the vortex core leads to a variety of nonlinear effects. Our analysis allows us to explain the experimentally observed switching diagram for simultaneous excitation of spin waves and gyrotropic mode.

A magnetic vortex (MV) is one of the fundamental and topologically nontrivial spin textures in condensed matter physics. Magnetic vortices are usually the ground states in geometrically restricted ferromagnets with zero magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Magnetic vortices have recently been proposed for use in a variety of spintronics applications due to their resistance to thermal perturbations, flexibility in changing core polarity, simple patterning procedure, and potential uses in magnetic data storage with substantial density, sensors for the magnetic field, devices for logic operations, and other related fields.

Control of flow deflection angle around the corner using microjet array.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Advanced Science and Technology, Toyota Technological Institute, 2-12-1 Hisakata, Tempaku-Ku, Nagoya, Aichi, 468-8511, Japan.

In this study, a new technique for active control of the flow around a corner is proposed and a key parameter dominating the flow deflection angle is proposed. In the technique, a microjet array is used for controlling the deflection of the flow at 33 m/s ~ 54 m/s around the 25-degree corner with a small downstream-facing step, the surface of which is lined with the micro-orifices from which jets are injected into the flow. The flow velocities around the corner are measured using a PIV (particle image velocimetry) technique under each condition for injecting the microjets into the flow.

The southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP) is the preeminent summer heavy precipitation region within the Tibetan Plateau (TP). However, the large-scale circulation types and dynamics driving summer heavy precipitation in the SETP remain inadequately elucidated. Using the hierarchical clustering method, two distinctive atmospheric circulation patterns associated with heavy precipitation were identified: the Tibetan Plateau vortex type (TPVT, constituting 56.

Polar Vortices in Relaxor Ferroelectric Ceramics for High-Efficiency Capacitive Energy Storage.

Functional Materials Research Laboratory, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 201804, P. R. China.

Polar vortices are predominantly observed within the confined ferroelectric films and the ferroelectric/paraelectric superlattices. This raises the intriguing question of whether polar vortices can form within relaxor ferroelectric ceramics and subsequently contribute to their energy storage performances. Here, we incorporate 10 mol % CaSnO into the 0.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the thermoelectric properties of Abrikosov vortices in type-II superconductors under quantum conditions, focusing on two setups: a superconductor-insulator-normal-metal junction and a scanning tunneling microscope tip over the superconductor.
  • The strong breaking of particle-hole symmetry in these vortices leads to a significant thermoelectric response, predicting thermovoltage values of a few mV/K at temperatures near absolute zero.
  • The study finds favorable thermoelectric coefficients, with a figure of merit (ZT) around 1 for the S-I-N junction and over 3 when using the STM junction, suggesting potential applications as low-temperature thermocouples or in detecting single low-energy photons.
