Abstract Magneto-optical (MO) effects, viz. magnetically induced changes in light intensity or polarization upon reflection from transmission through a magnetic sample, were discovered over century and half ago. Initially they played crucially relevant role unveiling the fundamentals of electromagnetism quantum mechanics. A more broad-based relevance wide-spread use MO methods, however, remained quite limited until 1960s due to lack suitable, reliable easy-to-operate sources. The advent...
Epitaxial films and ordered arrays of submicron structures nickel cobalt ferrites were deposited on Nb doped SrTiO3 by pulsed laser deposition. X-Ray diffraction atomic force microscopy showed that the have a good crystalline quality smooth surfaces. A larger number phonon bands was observed in polarization dependent Raman spectra ferrite than expected for cubic spinel structures. This is explained short range ordering Ni2+ (or Co2+) Fe3+ cations at octahedral sites inducing lowering...

Organic diodes consisting of molecular nano-pyramid structures sandwiched between metal and strained nanomembrane electrodes are created. The robust smooth contacts provided by self-curled layers render the nano-pyramids efficent channels for detecting nitrogen dioxide airflow.
The influence of the substrate temperature on pulsed laser deposited (PLD) CoFe2O4 thin films for supercapacitor electrodes was thoroughly investigated.

Abstract We present the development of multifunctional blue-emission organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using TADF-exciplex materials. These OLEDs exhibit sensitivity to external stimuli and achieve a maximum quantum efficiency (EQE) 11.6% through partly liquid processing. This technique allows for large-scale production on arbitrary geometries. The potential multifunctionality devices arises from their response low magnetic fields (up 100 mT) with an up 2.5% magnetoconductance, while...

We demonstrate that the direction of all-optical switching (AOS) in rare-earth transition-metal (RE-TM) alloy Tb-Fe thin films depends on orientation sublattice magnetization and not resulting net magnetization. For this purpose, we investigated AOS ability for a sample dominated by Fe (Tb24Fe76) another Tb (Tb30Fe70). This finding dependence contributes to understanding RE-TM multilayered heterostructures.

It is thus desirable to establish a direct relation between the and resulting ferromagnetism. Here, we contribute revealing origin of defect-induced ferromagnetism using SiC prototypical example. We show that long-range ferromagnetic coupling be attributed p electrons nearest-neighbor carbon atoms around VSiVC divacancies. Thus, traced down its microscopic, electronic origin.
