Magnetic multi-layered nanodisks (ND) show great promise as these are relatively easy to assemble and control, facilitating biological and storage applications. In the present work, Ti/Co/Nb ND were fabricated with a varying Co layer thickness between 6 and 14 nm. Using vibrating sample magnetometry and micromagnetic simulations (OOMMF), their magnetic properties were investigated. Our results reveal a peak in coercive field at a critical thickness that separates the two magnetic phases; single domain and vortex phase. This peak is characterized by a substantially larger coercive field and allows to establish an explicit phase diagram as a function of diameter and thickness of the ND. This opens the possibility to investigate such enhancement in other ferromagnetic materials too.

Background/objectives: The use of coercive measures (CMs) and security technologies (STs) in mental healthcare continues to raise ethical and practical concerns, affecting both patient and staff well-being. Mental health nurses (MHNs) and nursing students (NSs) play a key role in the decision-making process regarding these interventions. However, their attitudes, particularly toward STs, remain underexplored in Italy.

HfO-based multi-bit ferroelectric memory combines non-volatility, speed, and energy efficiency, rendering it a promising technology for massive data storage and processing. However, some challenges remain, notably polarization variation, high operation voltage, and poor endurance performance. Here we show Hf ZrO (x = 0.

Genomics research is regularly appropriated in social and political contexts to publicly legitimize unjust and malicious political views, policies, and actions. In recent years, there have been high-profile cases of mass shooters, public intellectuals, and political insiders using genomics findings to convince audiences that deadly force and coercive policies against racial minorities are warranted. To create a just genomics, geneticists must consider what makes their research so attractive and adaptable for the legitimization of unjust ends and what they can do to counter such appropriations.

Magnetic skyrmions, topologically stabilized chiral spin textures in magnetic thin films, have garnered considerable interest due to their efficient manipulation and resulting potential as efficient nanoscale information carriers. One intriguing approach to address the challenge of tuning skyrmion properties involves using chiral molecules. Chiral molecules can locally manipulate magnetic properties by inducing magnetization through spin exchange interactions and by creating spin currents.

The helical conformation of P1 leads to a highly stable chiral assembly of the appended ADA chromophores. This results in prominent ferroelectricity as evident from the superior hysteresis loop at room temperature, exhibiting a saturation polarization () value ∼2 μC cm and remanent polarization () value ∼1.
