Recently it has been proposed the study of a new class of bidimensional metamaterials, 33, 34 which have been called extensible pantographic sheets. Such bidimensional continua are the generalization of the continua introduced in 68, 69, 80 as they take simultaneously into account the elastic energy in the extensional…

Precessional switching allows subnanosecond and deterministic reversal of magnetic data bits. It relies on triggering a large-angle, highly nonlinear precession of magnetic moments around a bias field. Here we demonstrate that a surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagating on a magnetostrictive semiconducting material prod…
