We study the interaction between two important features of ferromagnetic nanoparticles: magnetic domain walls and spin waves. Micromagnetic simulations reveal that magnetostatic spin waves change their phase as they pass through domain walls. Similar to an Aharonov-Bohm experiment, we suggest to probe this effect by splitting the waves on different branches of a ring. The interference of mergin...

Transcranial magneto-acoustical stimulation (TMAS) is a novel stimulation technology in which an ultrasonic wave within a magnetostatic field generates an electric current in an area of interest in the brain to modulate neuronal activities. As a key part of the neural network, neurons transmit information in the nervous system. However, the effect of TMAS on the neuronal firing pattern remains ...

Dispersion and attenuation of non-linear surface magnetostatic waves (MSSW) propagating in thin ythium-irongarnet (YIG) fenite Nms have been studied both experimentally and theoretically. They were defined from the amplitude and phase alterations of the wave as it traveled along the "non-equilibrium" part of the film. At the border of such a non-equilibrium part the wave power is equal to the t...

The utilization of spin waves as eigenmodes of the magnetization dynamics for information processing and communication has been widely explored recently due to its high operational speed with low power consumption and possible applications for quantum computations. Previous proposals of spin wave Mach-Zehnder devices were based on the spin wave phase, a delicate entity which can be easily disru...

Because of confinement phenomena, semiconductorquantum dots show typical atomic properties such as discrete energy levels and shell structures. The energy eigenstates are described based on the Schrödinger-like equation for the electronic envelope wavefunctions. From the point of view of fundamental studies, the reduction of dimensionality in microwave ferrites brings into play new effects, whi...

The Schrödinger theory of electrons in an external electromagnetic field can be described from the perspective of the individual electron via the ‘Quantal Newtonian’ laws (or differential virial theorems). These laws are in terms of ‘classical’ fields whose sources are quantal expectations of Hermitian operators taken with respect to the wave function. The laws reveal the following physics: (a)...
