A two-dimensional disordered magnetic metamaterial

Two-dimensional disordered lattice solitons.

We investigate families of optical solitons supported by two-dimensional disordered lattices. The linear modes of the system are identified, and their eigenvalues are arranged in a band structure. Introducing Kerr nonlinearity, we find that families of solitons originate from linear modes. Such solutions, depending on the eigenvalue of the supporting linear mode, as the power increases may beco...

A d.c. magnetic metamaterial.

Electromagnetic metamaterials are a class of materials that have been artificially structured on a subwavelength scale. They are currently the focus of a great deal of interest because they allow access to previously unrealizable properties such as a negative refractive index. Most metamaterial designs have so far been based on resonant elements, such as split rings, and research has concentrat...

Resistivity of a Disordered Two-dimensional Electron Gas under Magnetic Field

Magnetic scattering effects on magnetoresistance in a quasi-two-dimensional disordered electron system

Magnetic-impurity-scattering effects in a quasi-2D disordered electron system have been investigated theoretically with the diagrammatic techniques in perturbation theory. The analytical expressions for magnetoconductivities due to weak-localization effects have been obtained as functions of elastic, inelastic and magnetic scattering times. The relevant dimensional crossover behavior from 3D to...

Berry phase mechanism of the anomalous Hall effect in a disordered two-dimensional magnetic semiconductor structure

The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) arises from the interplay of spin-orbit interactions and ferromagnetic order and is a potentially useful probe of electron spin polarization, especially in nanoscale systems where direct measurement is not feasible. While AHE is rather well-understood in metallic ferromagnets, much less is known about the relevance of different physical mechanisms governing AHE i...
