The influence of surface plasmons on the magneto-optic activity in a two-dimensional hexagonal array is addressed. The experiments were performed using hexagonal array of circular holes in a ferromagnetic Ni film. Well pronounced troughs are observed in the optical reflectivity, resulting from the presence of surface plasmons. The surface plasmons are found to strongly enhance the magneto-optic...

The technology involves a new type of compact device based on magneto-optics in a fiber micro modulator. This type of modulator allows the user to inter manipulate and control the propagation of the incoming light. The operation mechanism uses external magnetic field to manipulate Fe micro particle in order to cause modulation of an optical signal that propagates along an optical waveguide. Thi...

Magnetic granular solids consist of nanometer-sized magnetic particles uniformly dispersed and embedded in an immiscible insulating or metallic medium. They display a rich variety of magnetic properties and giant magneto-transport properties due to their unique nanostructure, which can be usefully described by the metal volume fraction and the metal particle diameter of granular solids. Fabrica...

An approach to compute the polarizability tensor of magnetic nanoparticles having general ellipsoidal shape is presented. We find a surprisingly excellent quantitative agreement between calculated and experimental magneto-optical spectra measured in the polar Kerr configuration from nickel nanodisks of large size (exceeding 100 nm) with circular and elliptical shape. In spite of its approximati...

The magneto-rheological fluid Dual Clutch Transmission (MDCT for short) adopts the magneto-rheological (MR for short) effect of magneto-rheological fluid (MRF for short) and the working characters of Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT for short), and combines the characteristics with long service life, no wear, simple structure, accurate control of MR effect with the principles of DCT technology, it...

The magneto-optical activity, namely the polarization conversion capabilities of high-index, non-absorbing, core-shell dielectric nanospheres is theoretically analyzed. We show that, in analogy with their plasmonic counterparts, the polarization conversion in resonant dielectric particles is linked to the amount of electromagnetic field probing the magneto-optical material in the system. Howeve...

this paper presents a new method called vespiary regular hexagonal (vrh) model to calculate parasitic capacitance between conductor wire filaments of one turn of a coil and between conductor wires filament and liner and also total capacitance of n-turns having single-layers, multi-conductor wire filaments of the helix magneto cumulative generator (mcg) coil. the presented method is an analytica...

In this paper, we provide the mathematical basis for three different magnetoacoustic imaging approaches (vibration potential tomography, magneto-acoustic tomography with magnetic induction, and magneto-acoustic current imaging) and propose new algorithms for solving the inverse problem for each of them.

In magneto-optic systems, Kerr and Faraday effects bring into play reflection and transmission matrices. Considering planar multilayer systems, we show that the elements of the reflection and transmission matrices obey general and simple relations valid whatever the geometry of the magneto-optic device may be. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
