Strong Circular Dichroism in Single Gyroid Optical Metamaterials

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Wiesner | Summary:Over the past two decades, metamaterials have led to an increasing number of biosensing and nanophotonic applications due to the possibility of a careful control of light propagating through subwavelength features. Chiral nanostructures (characterized by the absence of any mirror symmetry), in particular, give rise to unique chiro-optical properties such […]

Polarizing an antiferromagnet by optical engineering of the crystal field

Kavli Affiliate: Ankit Disa | Summary:Strain engineering is widely used to manipulate the electronic and magnetic properties of complex materials. An attractive route to control magnetism with strain is provided by the piezomagnetic effect, whereby the staggered spin structure of an antiferromagnet is decompensated by breaking the crystal field symmetry, which induces a ferrimagnetic polarization. […]

Benchmarking the Neural Linear Model for Regression

Kavli Affiliate: Christopher Ober| First 5 Authors: Sebastian W. Ober, Sebastian W. Ober, , , | Summary:The neural linear model is a simple adaptive Bayesian linear regression method that has recently been used in a number of problems ranging from Bayesian optimization to reinforcement learning. Despite its apparent successes in these settings, to the best […]

Role of Element-Specific Damping on the Ultrafast, Helicity-Independent All-Optical Switching Dynamics in Amorphous (Gd,Tb)Co Thin Films

Kavli Affiliate: Amal El-Ghazaly | Summary:Ultrafast control of the magnetization in ps timescales by fs laser pulses offers an attractive avenue for applications such as fast magnetic devices for logic and memory. However, ultrafast helicity-independent all-optical switching (HI-AOS) of the magnetization has thus far only been observed in Gd-based, ferrimagnetic amorphous (textita-) rare earth-transition metal […]
