This Perspective surveys the state-of-the-art and future prospects of science and technology employing the nanoconfined light (nanophotonics and nanoplasmonics) in combination with magnetism. We denote this field broadly as nanoscale…
We show that broadband optical magnetism can be achieved through incorporating multi-scaled 3D metallic meta-elements into Z-shaped nanohole arrays. The broadband effect arises from the excitation of multiple magnetic resonances in the…
Our ability to generate new distributions of light has been remarkably enhanced in recent years. At the most fundamental level, these light patterns are obtained by ingeniously combining different electromagnetic modes. Interestingly, the…
We show the possibility to periodically modulate refractive index in atomic medium in space or/and time while simultaneously keeping vanishing absorption/gain. Such modulation is based on periodic resonant enhancement of refractive index,…
Spontaneous emission spectra of two initially excited closely spaced identical atoms are very sensitive to the strength and the direction of the applied magnetic field. The relevant schemes are considered that ensure the determination of…

The optical response of spiral magnets is studied, with special attention to its electromagnon features. We show that these features trace back to the resonant magnetoelectric response resulting from the spiral ordering (irrespective of any…
Optical fibres have transformed the way people interact with the world and now permeate many areas of science. Optical fibres are traditionally thought of as insensitive to magnetic fields, however many application areas from mining to…
We utilize the generation of large atomic coherence to enhance the resonant nonlinear magneto-optic effect by several orders of magnitude, thereby eliminating power broadening and improving the fundamental signal-to-noise ratio. A…
Manipulation of light-induced magnetization has become a fundamentally hot topic with a potentially high impact for atom trapping, confocal and magnetic resonance microscopy, and data storage. The control of the magnetization orientation…
The distance of a binary operation from being associative can be "measured" by its associative spectrum, an appropriate sequence of positive integers. Particular instances and general properties of associative spectra are studied.
We study orbital magnetism of a degenerate electron gas in a number of two-dimensional integrable systems, within linear response theory. There are three relevant energy scales: typical level spacing, the energy related to the inverse time…
Following our recent theoretical development of the concept of nano-inductors, nano-capacitors and nano-resistors at optical frequencies and the possibility of synthesizing more complex nano-scale circuits, here we theoretically investigate…
Irradiating ${\rm Cu}_2{\rm Mo}({\rm CN})_8\cdot 8{\rm H}_2{\rm O}$ with blue light induces a global magnetization, whereas succeeding irradiations with red or longer-wavelength light demagnetize this material. We solve the time-dependent…
The magnetic field from a uniformly magnetised, rectangular prism is known exactly, which is the basis for a large number of micromagnetic simulations. Here we derive an analytical solution for the field from a periodically repeating…
As we read this text, our eyes dynamically adjust the focal length to keep the line image in focus on the retina. Similarly, in many optics applications the focal length must be dynamically tunable. In the quest for compactness and…
Fully internal and motional state controlled and individually manipulable polar molecules are desirable for many quantum science applications leveraging the rich state space and intrinsic interactions of molecules. While prior efforts at…
The use of a wire mesh facilitates creation of multiple optical traps for manipulation of small micron or sub-micron particles. Such an array of optical traps can be easily controlled. The trap that is formed in this manner is a continuous…
