Magnetic ferrites such as Fe3O4 and Fe2O3 are extensively used in a range of applications because they inexpensive chemically stable. Here we show that rhodium-substituted ε-Fe2O3, ε-RhxFe2−xO3 nanomagnets prepared by nanoscale chemical synthesis using mesoporous silica template, exhibit huge coercive field (Hc) 27 kOe at room temperature. Furthermore, crystallographically oriented sample recorded an Hc value 31 kOe, which is the largest among metal-oxide-based magnets comparable to those...

Coherent control of the precession motion magnetizations in a single crystal YFeO3 with double half-cycle pulse terahertz waves was demonstrated. Quasiferromagnetic (0.299 THz) and quasiantiferromagnetic (0.527 modes were selectively excited by choosing an appropriate interval two pulses observed as free induction decay (FID) signals from spin system. By observing circularly polarized FID due to ferromagnetic resonance, we also succeeded confirming directly energy storage system recovery...

Depending orientation of single crystal, can be detected as either mode switching between modes or polarization change emission. This method enables picosecond resolved observation without disturbances such electronic excitation and heating, it is expected to open doorway observe ultrafast with terahertz pulse.
We investigated the ultrafast terahertz response to photoexcitation for vanadium dioxide single crystals and thin films using optical-pump terahertz-probe technique at room temperature. The optical excitation induced an decrease of transmittance radiation within 0.7ps. Since we expect only free carrier in range, is unambiguously assigned appearance high electronic conductivity due carriers. increases more than ten times picosecond time range after it concluded that states are metallic.

We report the first observation of sub-terahertz bulk-magnetization precession, using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The magnetization precession in gallium-substituted epsilon-iron oxide nano-ferromagnets under zero magnetic field is induced by impulsive THz wave through gyromagnetic effect. Just at resonance frequency, linear to circular polarized conversion realized. This understood as free induction decay signal radiated from a rotating dipole corresponding natural resonance....

We compare the ultrafast dynamics of spin reorientation transition in orthoferrite ${\mathrm{Sm}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{Er}}_{0.3}{\mathrm{FeO}}_{3}$ following two different pumping mechanisms. Intense few-cycle pulses midinfrared selectively excite either $f\text{\ensuremath{-}}f$ electronic ${\mathrm{Sm}}^{3+}$ or optical phonons. With phonon pumping, a finite time delay exists for reorientation, reflecting energy transfer between lattice and $4f$ system. In contrast, an instantaneous response is...
Abstract In special relativity, four-vectors, such as space–time, energy–momentum and electromagnetic potential vectors, follow the Lorentz transformation. The transformations of space–time vectors have been tested by time dilation rest mass energy experiments, respectively. However, transformation potentials has never directly demonstrated in experiments due to limitations diagnostics. Here we show spatiotemporal electric-field profiles around a highly energetic electron beam with...

We introduce a simple and efficient method of enhancing the terahertz field in an air plasma produced by two-color laser pulses, inserting specially designed dual-wavelength wave plate between non-linear optical crystal plasma. Adjusting polarization two pulses yielded electric 1.4 MV/cm, which was 1.7 times as intense that obtained from unmodified system. Additionally, taking dispersion group velocities into account, we discussed validity enhancement factor.
We have generated and detected a longitudinally polarized (Z-polarized) terahertz (THz) wave by focusing conically propagating THz beam from plasma filament induced femtosecond laser pulse. In the experiment, we observed radially field in collimated region Z-polarized at focus time domain. The maximum value of electric reached 1.0 kV/cm. It was also quantitatively discussed about radial focal point. expect this technique to find application domain spectroscopy.
