The physics of superconducting films, and especially the role of remnant magnetization has a defining influence on the magnetic fields used to hold and manipulate atoms on superconducting atomchips. We magnetically trap ultracold ^{87}Rb…

We have studied the film thickness dependence of the current-induced magneto-optical Kerr effect in Pt and V thin films. The Kerr signal for Pt shows little dependence on the thickness in the range studied (20-80 nm). In contrast, the…

Right- and left-handed circularly polarized light interact differently with electronic charges in chiral materials. This asymmetry generates the natural circular dichroism and gyrotropy, also known as the optical activity. Here we…

Conventionally, intrinsic orbital angular momentum (OAM) is associated with phase vortices. However, our investigation into the propagation dynamics of 2D superimposed catastrophe beams, termed cyclone catastrophe beams (CCBs), reveals that…

The emergence of an orbital angular momentum (OAM) response to a charge current holds promise for technological applications, allowing electrical control of magnetization dynamics. Often, the OAM current is invoked in explaining…
