Two general procedures for the measurement and analysis of angular correlations gamma radiations from nuclear reactions are described which have wide applications in spectroscopy determination spins gamma-ray multipolarities. Cases can be studied by these methods when reaction proceeds through a compound state too complex to allow usual made, example where several levels overlap or direct interaction is dominant. The basis exploit simplifications brought about making reacting system axially...

An enhancement in Brillouin light scattering of optical photons with magnons is demonstrated magneto-optical whispering gallery mode resonators tuned to a triple-resonance point. This occurs when both the input and output modes are resonant those resonator, separation given by ferromagnetic resonance frequency. The identification excitation specific allows us gain clear understanding mode-matching conditions. A selection rule due wave vector matching leads an intrinsic single-sideband...

Quantum computation requires a qubit-specific measurement capability to readout the final state of individual qubits. Promising solid-state architectures use external electrometers but these can be replaced by more compact element, an in situ gate sensor. Gate-sensing couples qubit resonant circuit via and probes qubit's radiofrequency polarizability. Here we investigate ultimate performance such scheme noise sources that limit its operation. We find charge sensitivity 37 μe Hz−1/2, best...

We demonstrate that yttrium iron garnet microspheres support optical whispering gallery modes similar to those in non-magnetic dielectric materials. The direction of the ferromagnetic moment tunes both resonant frequency via Voigt effect as well degree polarization rotation Faraday effect. An understanding magneto-optical coupling modes, where propagation rotates with respect magnetization, is fundamental emerging field cavity optomagnonics.

We demonstrate that an antiferromagnet can be employed for a highly efficient electrical manipulation of ferromagnet. In our study we use detection technique the ferromagnetic resonance driven by in-plane ac-current in NiFe/IrMn bilayer. At room temperature, observe antidamping-like spin torque acting on NiFe ferromagnet, generated current through IrMn antiferromagnet. A large enhancement torque, characterized effective spin-Hall angle exceeding most heavy transition metals, correlates with...

${\mathrm{He}}^{3}$-induced reactions in carbon have been studied for bombarding energies the range 1.0 to 3.0 Mev. Absolute excitation curves obtained proton groups leading first three states ${\mathrm{N}}^{14}$ and neutron group ${\mathrm{O}}^{14}$ ground state; these show pronounced resonance structure corresponding levels ${\mathrm{O}}^{15}$. Angular distributions measured at seven different protons four neutrons. These are not directly explicable as resulting from either compound...

The well-defined field profile within cavity yields specific strength for each mode. experimentally measure different and, by calculating expected strengths, we are able identify themselves.

Quantum mechanical effects induced by the miniaturization of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology hamper performance and scalability prospects field-effect transistors. However, those quantum effects, such as tunnelling coherence, can be harnessed to use existing CMOS for information processing.
