In recent years, the coupling of magnetic insulators (bismuth-doped yttrium iron garnet, Bi-YIG) with platinum has garnered significant interest in spintronics research due to applicability as spin-current-driven thermoelectric coatings. These coatings bridge the gap between spintronics technologies and thermoelectric materials, providing a novel means of transforming waste heat into electricit...

The technology involves a new type of compact device based on magneto-optics in a fiber micro modulator. This type of modulator allows the user to inter manipulate and control the propagation of the incoming light. The operation mechanism uses external magnetic field to manipulate Fe micro particle in order to cause modulation of an optical signal that propagates along an optical waveguide. Thi...

For magneto-optical(MO) recording media we propose particulate films with magnetic fine particles dispersed in binders. Using effective dielectric tensor Faraday rotation ~ and absorption coefficient -a-are calculated for the particulate films containing Bi-substituted YIG and Co fine particles. The MO figure of merit O'~ of the particulate films exceeds that of continuous magnetic films. This ...

A transition from a low to a high spin state in the magnetization saturation between 1000 and 1100 oC calcination temperature is observed in YIG powders prepared by oxides mixture. Spark plasma sintering of these powders between 900 and 950 oC leads to dense samples with minimal formation of YFeO3, opening the way to cosintering of YIG with metals or metallic alloys. The optical properties depe...

Insight into protein structure and function is best obtained through a synthesis of experimental, structural and bioinformatic data. Here, we outline a framework that we call MUSE (mutual information, unigenic evolution and structure-guided elucidation), which facilitated the identification of previously unknown residues that are relevant for function of the GIY-YIG homing endonuclease I-BmoI. ...

Two yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) oscillator technologies are comparerk the more mature YIG sphere oscillator technology which is based on the uniform (resonant) precession of the electron spins in a smafl sphere of YIG, and the new planar YIG technology which utilizes the propagation of magnetostatic waves in an epitaxiaf film of YIG. The YIG sphere technology has been used for microwave oscillato...

The LEM domain (for lamina-associated polypeptide, emerin, MAN1 domain) defines a group of nuclear proteins that bind chromatin through interaction of the LEM motif with the conserved DNA crosslinking protein, barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF). Here, we describe a LEM protein annotated in databases as 'Ankyrin repeat and LEM domain-containing protein 1' (Ankle1). We show that Ankle1 is co...

A magnetoresistance (MR) effect induced by the Rashba spin-orbit interaction was predicted, but not yet observed, in bilayers consisting of normal metal and ferromagnetic insulator. We present an experimental observation of this new type of spin-orbit MR (SOMR) effect in the Cu[Pt]/Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) bilayer structure, where the Cu/YIG interface is decorated with nanosize Pt islands. This new MR is...

We report the investigation of spin-to-charge current interconversion process in hybrid structures yttrium iron garnet (YIG)/metallic bilayers by means two different experimental techniques: spin pumping effect (SPE) and Hall magnetoresistance (SMR). demonstrate evidence a correlation between conversion YIG/Pd, YIG/Pt, YIG/IrMn. The was verified directly angles amplitudes voltage signals measur...

Homing endonucleases typically contain one of four conserved catalytic motifs, and other elements that confer tight DNA binding. I-CreII, which catalyzes homing of the Cr.psbA4 intron, is unusual in containing two potential catalytic motifs, H-N-H and GIY-YIG. Previously, we showed that cleavage by I-CreII leaves ends (2-nt 3' overhangs) that are characteristic of GIY-YIG endonucleases, yet it ...
