Controlling the coupling between localized spins and itinerant electrons can lead to exotic magnetic states. A novel system featuring local magnetic moments and extended 2D electrons is the interface between LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. The magnetism of the interface, however, was observed to be insensitive to the presence of t…

Diffusion of deuterated poly(methyl methacrylate) (dPMMA) is slowed down in a PMMA matrix filled with hydroxyl-capped spherical silica nanoparticles, from 13 to 50 nm in diameter and at loadings up to 40 vol %. At constant T – T g = 75 K, the normalized diffusion coefficients ( D / D 0 ) collapse onto a master curve,…

Sputtering of MoS2 films of single-layer thickness by low-energy argon ions selectively reduces the sulfur content of the material without significant depletion of molybdenum. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows little modification of the Mo 3d states during this process, suggesting the absence of significant reorg…

The mixed valent multiferroic compound CaMn7O12 is studied for its magnetic and electric properties. The compound undergoes magnetic ordering below 90 K with a helimagnetic structure followed by a low temperature magnetic anomaly observed around 43 K. This study shows that the magnetic anomaly at 43 K is associated wi…

Different energy shifts for majority and minority electrons occur. Thus, for example in case of (laser) excited ferromagnetic metals majority and minority electrons may respond differently in time during closing the exchange splitting. Spin flip transitions of the hot electrons due to electron interactions cause quasi…

We develop a Landau theory for bend flexoelectricity in liquid crystals of bent-core molecules. In the nematic phase of the model, the bend flexoelectric coefficient increases as we reduce the temperature toward the nematic to polar phase transition. At this critical point, there is a second-order transition from high…
