Magnetic domain walls (DWs) in nanostructures are low-dimensional objects that separate regions with uniform magnetisation. Since they can have different shapes and widths, DWs are an exciting playground for fundamental research, and became…
We investigate the structure of magnetic domain walls in a classical double exchange ferromagnet, evaluating domain wall energies and charges. Three different cases are studied: (i) a conventional smooth Bloch wall, (ii) an abrupt…
Here we consider an interplay between the topology of the magnetization texture (which is a topological soliton, or Skyrmion) in a planar magnetic nano-element and the topology of the element itself (its connectivity). We establish the…
We have used Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the magnetic properties of asymmetric dots as a function of their geometry. The asymmetry of round dots is produced by cutting off a fraction of the dot and is characterized by an…
The shape of materials is often subject to a number of geometric constraints that limit the size of the system or fix the structure of its boundary. In soft and biological materials, however, these constraints are not always hard, but are…
We report measurements of the electron transport through atomic-scale constrictions and tunnel junctions between ferromagnetic electrodes. Structures are fabricated using a combination of e-beam lithography and controlled electromigration.…
How does magnetism behave when the physical dimension is reduced to the size of nanostructures? The multiplicity of magnetic states in these systems can be very rich, in that their properties depend on the atomic species, the cluster size,…
We study the effect of the magnetic field geometry on the oscillation spectra of strongly magnetized stars. The magnetic field distributions include both toroidal and poloidal contributions. We observe that the toroidal contribution does…
The size of micromagnetic structures, such as domain walls or vortices, is comparable to the exchange length of the ferromagnet. Both, the exchange length of the stray field $l_s$ and the magnetocrystalline exchange length $l_k$ are…
Nonlinear growth of one-dimensional density structures with a frozen-in magnetic field is investigated in Newtonian cosmology. A mechanism of magnetic field amplification is discussed. We discuss the relation between the initial conditions…
Low-temperature properties of a crystal containing superconducting inclusions of two different materials have been studied. In the approximation that the size of inclusions is much smaller than the coherence length/penetration depth of the…
We propose a theory for the new effects recently observed by Willett et al [1] in the magnetoresistance of a weakly modulated two dimensional electron gas near filling factor 1/2. Minima in transverse magnetoresistance and maxima in…
In a continuing effort to understand divergences which occur when quantum fields are confined by bounding surfaces, we investigate local energy densities (and the local energy-momentum tensor) in the vicinity of a wall. In this paper,…
Closed shell molecular structures are under normal conditions time-reversal invariant. Experimental evidences point, however, towards that this invariance may be locally violated when the structure is in contact with a particle reservoir.…
Geometrical structures intrinsic to non-expanding, weakly isolated and isolated horizons are analyzed and compared with structures which arise in other contexts within general relativity, e.g., at null infinity. In particular, we address in…
It is shown that a new kind of information can be extracted from the Fourier transform of negative magnetoresistance in 2D semiconductor structures. The procedure proposed provides the information on the area distribution function of closed…
A new phenomenon is observed experimentally in a heavily doped asymmetric quantum-size structure in a magnetic field parallel to the quantum-well layers - a transverse magnetoresistance which is asymmetric in the field (there can even be a…
In solid state physics, giant magnetoresistance is the large change in electrical resistance due to an external magnetic field. Here we show that giant magnetoresistance is possible in a spin chain composed of weakly interacting layers of…
The presence of magnetized anomalies in the shell of the Earth interrupts its geomagnetic field. We consider the inverse problem of identifying the anomalies by monitoring the variation of the geomagnetic field. Motivated by the theoretical…
The presence of a domain wall trapped by a sub-micron notch is probed in two ways: through electronic transport measurements and by Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM). We observe complex magnetic features which are consistent with numerical…
