Free vibration of a simply-supported magneto-electro-elastic doubly-curved nano-shell is studied based on the first-order shear deformation theory in the presence of the rotary inertia effect. To model the electric and magnetic behaviors of the nano-shell, Gauss’s laws for electrostatics and magneto statics are used. By using Navier’s method, the partial differential equations of motion are red...

We experimentally studied the magneto-photocurrents generated by direct interband transition in InAs/GaSb type II superlattice. By varying the magnetic field direction, we observed that an in-plane magnetic field induces a photocurrent linearly proportional to the magnetic field; however, a magnetic field tilted to the sample plane induces a photocurrent presenting quadratic magnetic field depe...

Submitted for the MAR13 Meeting of The American Physical Society Numerical studies of non-Drude ac-conductivity and infrared magneto-optics in (Ga,Mn)As HUAWEI GAO, JAIRO SINOVA, Department of Physics, Texas A&M University — Optical absorption experiments on (III,Mn)V diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS’s) show that the ac-conductivity has nonDrude behavior at low frequency. STM study show man...

Density matrix theory is presented to explain recent experimental observations of intense optically induced magnetism due to a “mixed” type of nonlinearity proportional to the product of the electricand magnetic-field strengths of light. Two previously unknown quadratic optical effects are predicted—namely, transverse optical magnetization and magnetic charge separation—and quantitative agreeme...

Well-defi ned, functional colloids provide critical model systems for a variety of fundamental phenomena in materials and soft matter, and enable a broad range of technological applications from optics [ 1 ] to biotechnology. [ 2 ] The ability to fabricate large quantities of colloids with high uniformity and specifi ed shape and function has thus been greatly desired. For example, magnetic col...

We investigate the operation of optical isolators based on magneto-optics waveguide arrays beyond the coupled mode analysis. Semi-vectorial beam propagation simulations demonstrate that evanescent tail coupling and the effects of radiation are responsible for degrading the device's performance. Our analysis suggests that these effects can be mitigated when the array size is scaled up. In additi...

Magneto-plasmonics is a designation generally associated with ferromagnetic-plasmonic materials because such optical responses from nonmagnetic materials alone are considered weak. Here, we show that there exists a switching transition between linear and nonlinear magneto-optical behaviors in noble-metal nanocolloids that is observable at ultralow illumination intensities and direct current mag...
