Controlling domain wall (DW) generation and dynamics behaviour in ferromagnetic nanowire is critical to the engineering of domain wall-based non-volatile logic and magnetic memory devices. Previous research showed that DW generation suffered from a random or stochastic nature and that makes the realization of DW based device a challenging task. Conventionally, stabilizing a Néel DW requires a l...

The diffraction efficiency (DE) of guided optical waves (GOWs) and the magneto-optic (MO) −3 dB bandwidth are key parameters in MO Bragg cells. To improve the diffraction performance, the MO Stokes interaction between magnetostatic forward volume waves (MSFVWs) and GOWs are studied by use of the coupledmode theory in metal clad yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) waveguides. Our analysis shows that, by a...

Monodisperse cobalt nanoparticles are synthesized via a high-temperature thermal decomposition method in the presence of oleic acid and triphenylphosphine. The as-synthesized nanoparticles are stable against further deep oxidation when they are kept in heptane .C7H16/. Time-dependent XPS studies indicate that oxidation of the as-synthesized cobalt nanoparticles in air is slow. The valence chang...

An integrated platform for the capture, transport, and detection of individual superparamagnetic microbeads is described for lab-on-a-chip biomedical applications. Magnetic domain walls in magnetic tracks have previously been shown to be capable of capturing and transporting individual beads through a fluid at high speeds. Here it is shown that the strong magnetostatic interaction between a bea...

The two-plate initial boundary-value problem of Parker is reviewed, treating the relaxation a 3D magnetic field prescribed with an arbitrary topology to terminal force-free in cold, viscous, electrically perfect fluid conductor. Anchored by their foot-points at perfectly conducting rigid plates, relaxing preserves its topology. magnetostatic theorem states that for most topologies, must embed c...
