Magnetoelasticity is the bond between magnetism and mechanics, but the intricate mechanisms via which magnetic states change due to mechanical strain remain poorly understood. Here, we provide direct nanoscale observations of how tensile strain modifies magnetic domains in a ferromagnetic Ni thin plate using in situ Fresnel defocus imaging, off-axis electron holography and a bimetallic deformation device. We present quantitative measurements of magnetic domain wall structure and its transformations as a function of strain. We observe the formation and dissociation of strain-induced periodic 180° magnetic domain walls perpendicular to the strain axis. The magnetization transformation exhibits stress-determined directional sensitivity and is reversible and tunable through the size of the nanostructure. In this work, we provide direct evidence for expressive and deterministic magnetic hardening in ferromagnetic nanostructures, while our experimental approach allows quantifiable local measurements of strain-induced changes in the magnetic states of nanomaterials.

Two-dimensional antiferromagnetic materials have attracted wide attention in both performance and application, which are of great significance for spin valves and next-generation magnetic random access memory devices. The spin-phonon coupling effect plays a crucial role in magnon dynamics. However, there is still a lack of research on the spin-phonon coupling effect of two-dimensional antiferromagnetic flakes.

Superconductivity in infinite layer nickelates Nd_{1-x}Sr_{x}NiO_{2} has so far been achieved only in thin films, raising questions on the role of substrates and interfaces. Given the challenges associated with their synthesis it is imperative to identify their intrinsic properties. We use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering to investigate the influence of the SrTiO_{3} capping layer on the excitations of Nd_{1-x}Sr_{x}NiO_{2} (x=0 and 0.

Introduction: Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) guidelines recommend 'four pillars' of medical therapy and device therapy if left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) remains ≤35% after 3 months optimum medical therapy.We conducted the first study to examine the effects of optimisation to contemporary medical therapy on cardiac reverse remodelling, as demonstrated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).We hypothesised a proportion of patients would undergo beneficial remodelling and LVEF improvement above the threshold for complex device prescription after 6 months.

Magnetorheological grease (MRG) is considered a promising alternative to magnetorheological fluids as a smart material because of its higher stability and less leakage. To enhance yield stresses in various applications, graphite is incorporated as an additive, resulting in graphite magnetorheological grease (GMRG). However, the nonlinear hysteresis properties of this new material and its prediction methods have not been investigated.

In this work, we have studied the effect of internal coupling in magnetic nanoparticles with inverted core-shell structure (antiferromagnet-ferrimagnet) and also magnetic surface anisotropy, performing Monte Carlo simulations based on a micromagnetic model applied in the limit of lattice size equal to the crystalline unit cell. In the treatment, different internal regions of the particle were labeled in order to analyze the magnetic order and the degree of coupling between them. The results obtained are in agreement with experimental observations in CoO/CoFeOand ZnO/CoFeO systems, which we have taken as reference.
