In previous works we examined they systematics of magnetic dipole transitions in a single j shell. We here extend the study to large space calculations.We consider the nuclei $^{44}$ Ti, $^{46}$Ti and $^{48}$C. Of particular interest is the…
The Two-Rotor Model predicts two levels above the Scissors Modes with degenerate intrinsic energy. They have $J^{\pi}= 0^+,2^+$ and are referred to as overtones. Their energy is below threshold for nucleon emission, which should make them…
We suggest that in an anisotropic crystal there should be a new mechanism of dichroism related to a scissors mode, a kind of excitation observed in several other many-body systems. Such an effect should be found in crystals, amorphous…
We have carried out a unified microscopic study of electric monopole, quadrupole and magnetic dipole excitations in fast rotating nuclei undergoing backbending, with special attention at the magnetic excitations. We found, among other…
The occurrence of scissors modes in crystals that have deformed ions in their cells has been predicted some time ago. The theoretical value of their energy is rather uncertain, however, ranging between 10 and a few tenths of eV, with the…
We study the scissors mode (orbital M1 excitations) in small Na clusters, triaxial metal clusters ${\rm Na}_{12}$ and ${\rm Na}_{16}$ and the close-to-spherical ${{\rm Na}_9}^+$, all described in DFT with detailed ionic background. The…
Scissors modes were predicted in the framework of the Two-Rotor Model. This model has an intrinsic harmonic spectrum, so that the level above the Scissors Mode, the first overtone, has excitation energy twice that of the Scissors Mode.…
Excitation of spin wave modes of a vortex-state magnetic dot by an out-of-plane oscillating magnetic field is studied numerically in the presence of a static in-plane magnetic field. It is shown, that the application of the in-plane static…

We report on the observation of the scissors mode of a single dipolar quantum droplet. The existence of this mode is due to the breaking of the rotational symmetry by the dipole-dipole interaction, which is fixed along an external…
We recently suggested that the Scissors Mode (a collective excitation in which one system rotates with respect another one conserving its shape) can occur in crystals with axially symmetric atoms as a precession of these atoms around the…
We examine the magnetic field dependent excitations of the dimerized spin-1/2 chain, copper nitrate, with antiferromagnetic intra-dimer exchange $J_1=0.44$ meV and exchange alternation $\alpha=J_2/J_1=0.24$. Magnetic excitations in three…

We study the scissors modes of a harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate under the influence of a synthetic magnetic field, which induces rigid rotational components in the velocity field. Our investigation reveals that the scissors…

A two interacting rotors Hamiltonian is alternatively treated semi-classically and by a Dyson boson expansion method. The linearized equations of motion lead to dispersion equation for the wobbling frequency. One defined a ground band with…
All the orbital M1 excitations, at both low and high energies, obtained from a rotationally invariant QRPA, represent the fragmented scissors mode. The high-energy M1 strength is almost purely orbital and resides in the region of the…
