The magnetic field and pressure dependence of the magnetic ordering transition in Na x CoO 2 Abstract. We have measured the magnetic field (H≤90 kOe) and pressure (P≤10 kbar) dependence of the magnetic ordering temperature, T mag , in single crystal samples of Na x CoO 2 for a range of Na concentrations (0.60≤x≤0.72). We show that in zero field, T mag remains constant with decreasing x before m...

The flow of magnetic charge carriers (dubbed magnetic monopoles) through frustrated spin ice lattices, governed simply by Coulombic forces, represents a new direction in electromagnetism. Artificial spin ice nanoarrays realise this effect at room temperature, where the magnetic charge is carried by domain walls. Control of domain wall path is one important element of utilizing this new medium. ...

We have investigated the possibility of producing a magnetic encoder by an innovative process. Instead of turning grooves in the encoder bar for precise positioning, we incorporated the information in 304L stainless steel by transforming the austenite to martensite after bar extrusion in liquid nitrogen and marking it with a laser, which caused a local transformation of martensite back into aus...

A scaling theory of the sub atto-molar (aM) detection limits of magnetic particle (MP) based biosensors (e.g., bio-barcode assays) is developed and discussed. Despite the dramatic differences of sensing protocols and detection limits, the MP-based sensors can be interpreted within the same theoretical framework as any other classical biosensor (e.g., nanowire sensors), except that these sensors...

The planar Landau system which describes the quantum mechanical motion of a charged particle in plane with uniform magnetic field perpendicular to plane, is explored within pedagogical settings aimed at beginning graduate level. known possess Euclidean symmetry two dimensions central extension $\bar{E}(2)$. In this paper, we revisit well-known energy eigenvalues system, as levels, by exploiting...
