We report an experimental study of the motion of magnetized beads driven by a travelling wave magnetic field. For sufficiently large wave speed, we report the existence of a backward motion, in which the sphere can move in the direction…
We report the first experimental observation of reversals of a dynamo field generated in a laboratory experiment based on a turbulent flow of liquid sodium. The magnetic field randomly switches between two symmetric solutions B and -B. We…
Problems involving rotating systems analyzed from an inertial frame, without invoking fictitious forces, is something that freshman students find difficult to understand in an introductory mechanics course. One of the problems that I…
We study theoretically the effect of a rotating electric field on a diffusive nanowire and find an effect that is analogous to spin pumping, which refers to the generation of spin through a rotating magnetic field. The electron spin couples…
The levitation of a cylindrical permanent magnet over a high-temperature superconductor cooled by liquid nitrogen can be accompanied by spontaneous oscillations and rotation. The reason for spontaneous rotation of the magnet is…
We study different configurations of permanent magnets and ferromagnetic circuit, in order to optimize the magnetic field for the so-called ``magnetic tweezers'' technique, for studing mechanical properties of DNA molecules. The magnetic…
Ferromagnetic filaments in a rotating magnetic field are studied both numerically and experimentally. The filaments are made from micron-sized ferromagnetic particles linked with DNA strands. It is found that at low frequencies of the…
A single-sided magnet generates a magnetic field on only one side while canceling it on the opposite side, a feature that has enabled diverse applications in both fundamental science and engineering. Here, we propose the {\it inverse}…
The dynamics of magnetic moments consist of a precession around the magnetic field direction and a relaxation towards the field to minimize the energy. While the magnetic moment and the angular momentum are conventionally assumed to be…
We report a novel relation between rotation and magnetic field in a charged fluid system: there is naturally a magnetic field along the direction of fluid vorticity due to the currents associated with the swirling charges. This general…
The reversal of spins in a magnetic material as they relax toward equilibrium is accompanied by the release of Zeeman energy which can lead to accelerated spin relaxation and the formation of a well-defined self-sustained propagating…
The inverse Faraday effect is a magneto-optical process allowing the magnetization of matter by an optical excitation carrying a non-zero spin of light. In particular, a right circular polarization generates a magnetization in the direction…
It is shown that a pulsed current driven through Ni nanowires provokes an irreversible magnetization reversal at a field distant from the spontaneous switching field $H_{sw}$ by $\Delta H$ of as much as 40 % of $H_{sw}$. The state of the…
We present a new approach to controlling magnetization in gold nanoparticles using the Inverse Faraday Effect combined with Laguerre-Gauss beams carrying orbital angular momentum. By tailoring the tilt of isophase planes, we induce drift…
We predict unidirectional magnetoresistance effects arising in a bilayer composed of a nonmagnetic metal and a ferromagnetic insulator, whereby both longitudinal and transverse resistances vary when the direction of the applied electric…
We have studied the magnetotransport through an indium antimonide (InSb) nanowire grown in [111] direction, with a geometric constriction and in an external magnetic field applied along the nanowire axis. We have found that the…
Twisting is a novel technique for creating strongly correlated effects in two-dimensional bilayered materials, and can tunably generate nontrivial topological properties, magnetism, and superconductivity. Magnetism is particularly…
The magnetization reversal in a single molecular magnet (SMM) weakly coupled to an electrode with spin-dependent splitting of chemical potentials (spin bias) is theoretically investigated by means of the rate equation. A microscopic…
The spin flip of the conduction electrons at the interface of a ferromagnetic and a nonmagnetic part of a metallic wire, suspended between two electrodes, is shown to tort the wire when a current is driven through it. In order to enhance…
The magnetization switching of a thin ferromagnetic layer placed on top of a heavy metal (such as Pt, Ta or W) driven by an in-plane current has been observed in recent experiments. The magnetization dynamics of these processes is studied…
