We have developed magnetically modulated optical nanoprobes ~MagMOONs! to magnetically modulate the signal from fluorescent probes and thus separate it from autofluorescence, electronic offsets, and other background signals. These microand nanosized particles emit fluorescence signals, indicating chemical concentrations, and blink in response to rotating magnetic fields. Demodulating the signal...

Paramagnetic colloidal particles dispersed in water and deposited above magnetic bubble domains of a uniaxial ferrimagnetic garnet film are used as microscopic stirrer when subjected to external rotating magnetic fields. The hydrodynamic flow field above the stirrer is detected by tracking of nonmagnetic microspheres. The vorticity of the flow falls off inversely proportionally to the distance ...

Numerical solutions of Einstein, scalar, and gauge field equations are found for static and inflating defects in a higher-dimensional spacetime. The defects have (3 + 1)-dimensional core and magnetic monopole configuration in n = 3 extra dimensions. For symmetry-breaking scale η below the critical value ηc, the defects are characterized by a flat worldsheet geometry and asymptotically flat extr...

Magnetism has wide applications in various fields, such as diagnostics, drug targeting, molecular biology, cell isolation, cell purification, hyperthermia, and radioimmunoassay. In this study, we synthesized niosomes doped with iron oxide nanoparticles and a fluorophore for potential applications in magnetically targeted drug delivery. Release kinetics of the fluorophore and cytotoxicity were a...

Using a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) synthesis method, novel two-dimensional (2D) mixed-spin magnetic systems, in which each magnetic layer is both structurally and magnetically isolated, have been generated. Specifically, a 2D Fe-Ni cyanide-bridged network with a face-centered square grid structure has been magnetically and structurally characterized. The results indicate the presence of ferromagnet...

We express the Pontryagin index in Polyakov gauge completely in terms of magnetically charged gauge fixing defects, namely magnetic monopoles, lines, and domain walls. Open lines and domain walls are topologically equivalent to monopoles, which are the genuine defects. The emergence of non-genuine magnetically charged closed domain walls can be avoided by choosing the temporal gauge field smoot...

This article investigates the physics that is responsible for creating the outgoing Poynting flux emanating from the ergosphere of a rotating black hole in the limit that the magnetic energy density greatly exceeds the plasma rest mass density (magnetically dominated limit). The underlying physics is derived from published 3-D simulations that obey the general relativistic equations of perfect ...

The goal of this paper is to describe the identification and modeling of a 3-degree-of-freedom (DOF) platform with a manipulator on top of it, which is magnetically levitated by 9 voice-coil actuators. This 3-DOF experimental setup is a pre-prototype of a 6-DOF magnetically levitated platform with manipulator in order to study combined control of both the platform and manipulator.

We report the transport of magnetically trapped cold atoms over a large distance. Atoms are captured in a magneto-optical trap ~MOT! and loaded into a magnetic quadrupole trap. The quadrupole potential is then moved over a distance of 33 cm into an ultra-high-vacuum ~UHV! chamber using a chain of quadrupole coils. By running suitable currents through the quadrupole coil pairs the trapping geome...
