To advance the use of thermally-activated magnetic materials in device applications it is necessary to examine their behaviour on the localised scale in operando conditions. Equi-atomic FeRh undergoes a magnetostructural transition from an…

An exact arithmetic, memory efficient direct solution method for finite element method (FEM) computations is outlined. Unlike conventional black-box or low-rank direct solvers that are opaque to the underlying physical problem, the proposed…

Electromechanical response of solids underpins image formation mechanism of several scanning probe microscopy techniques including the piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and electrochemical strain microscopy (ESM). While the theory of…

We demonstrate a layer- and time-resolved measurement of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in a Ni81Fe19 / Cu / Co93Zr7 trilayer structure. Time-resolved x-ray magnetic circular dichroism has been developed in transmission, with resonant field…

Deterministic polarization reversal in ferroelectric and multiferroic films is critical for their exploitation in nanoelectronic devices. While ferroelectricity has been studied for nearly a century, major discrepancies in the reported…

Imaging with a layered superlens is a spatial filtering operation characterized by the point spread function (PSF). We show that in the same optical system the image of a narrow sub-wavelength Gaussian incident field may be surprisingly…

A method is presented to quantify resolution as a function of depth in features of morphologically complex 3D samples. Applying the method to the brain of Drosophila, resolution is measured at increasing depth throughout the central brain…

RF data-driven device fingerprinting through the use of deep learning has recently surfaced as a possible method for enabling secure device identification and authentication. Traditional approaches are commonly susceptible to the domain…
