Ultrafast spin dynamics in ferromagnetic half-metallic compound Sr2FeMoO6 is investigated by pump-probe measurements of the magneto-optical Kerr effect. The half-metallic nature of this material gives rise to anomalous thermal insulation between spins and electrons and allows us to pursue the spin dynamics from a few to several hundred picoseconds after the optical excitation. The optically det...

In this work we study microwimmers, whether colloids or polymers, embedded in bulk confinement. We explicitly consider hydrodynamic interactions and simulate the swimmers via an implementation inspired by squirmer model. Concerning surrounding fluid, employ a Dissipative Particle Dynamics scheme. Differently from Lattice-Boltzmann technique, on one side approach allows us to properly deal not o...

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...

We performed a series of high-resolution (up to 1024) direct numerical simulations of hydro and MHD turbulence. Our simulations correspond to the ”strong” MHD turbulence regime that cannot be treated perturbatively. We found that for simulations with normal viscosity the slopes for energy spectra of MHD are similar to ones in hydro, although slightly more shallower. However, for simulations wit...

Invasive alien plant species negatively impact native plant communities by out-competing species or changing abiotic and biotic conditions in their introduced range. River systems are especially vulnerable to biological invasions, because waterways can function as invasion corridors. Understanding interactions of invasive and native species and their combined effects on river dynamics is essent...

Propagation dynamics of spin-dependent optical excitations is investigated by back-pump front-probe experiments in Au/Fe/MgO(001). We observe a decrease for all pump-probe signals detected at the Au surface, if the Fe thickness in increased. Relaxation processes within Fe limit the emission region of ballistic spins at the Fe/Au interface to ~1 nm. Recently, we have established magneto-optical ...
