Magneto-transport measurements of ferromagnetic MnAs epilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy reveal the presence of both positive and negative charge carriers. Electrical transport at high temperatures is dominated by holes, and at low…
We present data of multi harmonic magneto-dynamic experiments. In particular, we performed ac magnetic susceptibility experiments on layered pnictide-oxide quaternary compound NdOFeAs doped with fluorine. The experiments allow measure the…
The discovery in 2014 of the pulsation from the ultra-luminous X-ray source (ULX) M82 X-2 in 2014 has changed our view of ULXs. Because of the relatively short baseline over which pulsations have been detected so far, M82 X-2's spin state…
We analyze two flare events which occurred in active region NOAA 501 on November 20, 2003. The H-alpha and magnetogram measurements show interaction between two filaments which produced a slowly rising flare event, corresponding to two…
We report a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of the quasi-one-dimensional quantum magnet CuNCN. Based on magnetization measurements above room temperature as well as muon spin rotation and electron spin resonance…
The charge ordering in the bilayer manganite system La$_{2-2x}$Sr$_{1+2x}$Mn$_{2}$O$_{7}$ with $0.30 \le x \le 0.50$ has been studied by neutron diffraction. The charge order is characterized by the propagation vector parallel to the [1 0…
The magnetization switching of a thin ferromagnetic layer placed on top of a heavy metal (such as Pt, Ta or W) driven by an in-plane current has been observed in recent experiments. The magnetization dynamics of these processes is studied…
It is proposed that the observation of orbital ordering in manganite materials should be possible at the L_II and L_III edges of manganese using X-ray resonant scattering. If performed, dipole selection rules would make the measurements…
We provide an overview of progress on the exchange biasing of a ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga1-xMnxAs) by proximity to an antiferromagnetic oxide layer (MnO). We present a detailed characterization study of the antiferromagnetic layer…
The active region NOAA 11158 produced the first X-class flare of Solar Cycle 24, an X2.2 flare at 01:44 UT on 2011 February 15. Here we analyze SDO/HMI magnetograms covering a 12-hour interval centered at the time of this flare. We describe…
A theory of a thermally induced single-electron "shuttling" instability in a magnetic nanomechanical device subject to an external magnetic field is presented in the Coulomb blockade regime of electron transport. The model magnetic shuttle…
We propose a model for 1/f flux noise in superconducting devices (f is frequency). The noise is generated by the magnetic moments of electrons in defect states which they occupy for a wide distribution of times before escaping. A trapped…
Measurements of magnetization, specific heat, electrical resistivity, Hall effect, and magnetoresistance on single crystalline samples of LaFeAsO grown in a NaAs flux are reported. While this material is known to be a semimetal, the…
We predict that a lateral electrical current in antiferromagnets can induce non-equilibrium N\'eel order fields, i.e. fields whose sign alternates between the spin sublattices, which can trigger ultra-fast spin-axis reorientation. Based on…
We report on the detection of a rapidly variable narrow Fe K$\alpha$ line in Mkn 841. The source has been observed two times by XMM-Newton and simultaneously with BeppoSAX. The two observations, of about 10ks long each, were separated by…
We analyze an event in front of the bow shock observed by Cluster spacecraft on 22.02.2006. This event has many attributes of Hot Flow Anomaly at early stage of development including strong upstream beam and disturbed magnetic profile with…
Powder neutron diffraction experiments have been employed to establish the effects of site-selective magnetic dilution in the Sm2MnMnMn4-x Tix O12 A-site columnar ordered quadruple perovskite manganites (x = 1, x = 2 and x = 3). We show…
We study the effect of an external magnetic field on the transport properties of a quantum dot using a recently developed extension of the functional renormalization group approach to non-equilibrium situations. We discuss in particular the…
