We study both experimentally and theoretically the driven motion of domain walls in extended amorphous magnetic films patterned with a periodic array of asymmetric holes. We find two crossed ratchet effects of opposite sign that change the preferred sense for domain wall propagation, depending on whether a flat or a k…

Exchange interactions among defects in semiconductors are commonly treated within effective-mass theory using a scaled hydrogenic wave-function. However such a wave-function is only applicable to shallow impurities; here we present a simple but robust generalization to treat deep donors, in which we treat the long-ran…

Effect of a magnetic field on martensitic transformation in the NiCoMnGa alloys was investigated. A field-induced reversible martensitic transformation from the martensitic phase of low magnetization to the parent phase of high magnetization has been realized. The substitution of Co for Ni atoms has turned the magneti…

A method is suggested to separately determine the surface density of positively and negatively charged impurities that limit the mobility in a graphene monolayer. The method is based on the exact result for the transport cross section, according to which the massless carriers are scattered more strongly when they are…

The experimental Mn K-edge x-ray absorption spectra of La$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$MnO$_{3}$, $x$ = 0 - 0.7 are compared with the band structure calculations using spin polarized density functional theory. It is explicitly shown that there is a correspondence between the inflection point on the absorption edge and the centre of g…

Lead sulfide is an important semiconductor that has found technological applications for over a century. Raman spectroscopy, a standard tool for the investigation and characterization of semiconductors, has limited application to this material because of the forbidden nature of its first order scattering and its opaci…

The recent finding of a 1-bond->2-phonon `percolation'-type behaviour in several random zincblende alloys, supporting an unsuspected 1-bond->2-mode behaviour in the bond length distribution, renews interest for a discussion of CuPt-type spontaneous ordering (CPSO) as a purely intrinsic effect. We investigate this key…

Gel permeation chromatography with differential refractometry is used to obtain molecular weight distributions (MWD) of poly-(epsilon-caprolactams). Elution is carried out using an m-cresolchlorobenzene mixture (50:50, v/v) at 50 degrees C. MW values are obtained by a Hamielec-based calibration method, using broad-MWD…
