The main issue of the pulsar magnetosphere is how the rotation power is converted into both particle beams which causes pulsed emissions, and a highly relativistic wind of electron-positron plasmas which forms surrounding nebulae shining in…
In ferromagnetic thin films, the presence of an out-of-plane component of the magnetic anisotropy may induce a transition from planar to stripe-like magnetic domains above a critical thickness, $t_c$. Because of the changes in the domain…
