The article focuses on photon drag effect under laser radiation in solid state materials. This effect causes a high concentration of nonequilibrium electrons in the area of the laser beam the exit out of material. Coulomb interaction of spatial charge of these electrons with the charged impurity atoms can cause their drift in the direction of laser radiation. The photon drag effect can be used ...

The one-dimensional Barkhausen effect was observed in lithographically defined magnetic strips of Co/Pd multilayer films. The magnetic domain expanded stepwise with a constant speed between pinning sites. Both the wall propagation and the pinning were characterized by the thermal activation process based on their exponential dependency on the strength of the applied magnetic field. The Barkhaus...

A Cu/Fe granular film, formed from a multilayer film and composed of particles of Fe imbedded in Cu, has had several of its important properties investigated. Measurements include ferromagentic resonance, magnetoresistance, Miissbauer effect, magnetic viscosity, and magnetization. The two-phase behavior of these immiscible alloy systems, and the effect of multilayering on the shape of the magne...

Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy and magnetic transmission soft x-ray microscopy (MTXM) experiments have been performed to gain insight into the magnetic anisotropy and domain structure of ultrathin Co9Ni multilayer films with a thin permalloy layer underneath. MTXM images with a spatial resolution better than 25 nm were obtained ...

This theoretical study describes the optical multilayer structure models leading to investigate Surface Plasmon Polariton (SPP) to an extern applied magnetic field at visible wavelenght using a 3D-FEM based on Comsol Multiphysics software. The layered structures include the amorphous silicon c-Si octahedral nanocrystals on the interface SiO2/dielectric were investigated to enhance the SPP inten...

An Fe/Au monatomic multilayer, consisting of alternating single Fe and Au layers, has been studied by means of the self-consistent full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. We show by total energy minimization that this artificial thin film is in the tetragonal L10 ordered structure with the ratio of the interlayer spacing to the intralayer lattice constant at 0.865. In this config...

This review reports on the recent progress in the synthesis, modelling and application of hybrid spin-crossover materials, including core-shell nanoparticles and multilayer thin films or nanopatterns. These systems combine, often in synergy, different physical properties (optical, magnetic, mechanical and electrical) of their constituents with the switching properties of spin-crossover complexe...

Magnetic properties of thin films can be modified through proximity effects with multilayer structures. Materials that undergo both a structural phase transition (SPT) and a metal to insulator transition (MIT) have been used for this purpose. This crystallographic change induces a stress to the adjacent layer that changes the magnetic properties of the film through magnetoelastic anisotropy. Th...
