The influence of the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) on the eigenmodes of magnetic nanostructures is attracting interest for both fundamental reasons and prospects in applications. In this study, the characteristics of spin waves eigenmodes in either long stripes or elliptical dots magnetized in-plane, with lateral dimensions of the order of 100 nm, are analyzed by micromagnetic simulations in presence of a sizeable DMI. Using the GPU-accelerated software MuMax3, we show that the eigenmodes spectrum is appreciably modified by the DMI-induced non-reciprocity in spin-waves propagation: the frequencies of the eigenmodes are red-shifted and their spatial profiles appreciable altered due to the lack of stationary character in the direction orthogonal to the magnetization direction. As a consequence, one finds a modification of the expected cross-section of the different modes in either ferromagnetic resonance or Brillouin light scattering experiments, enabling one to detect modes that would remain invisible without DMI. In this respect, the modifications of the spectrum can be directly connected to a quantitative estimation of the DMI constant. Moreover, it is seen that for sufficiently large values of the DMI constant, the low-frequency odd eigenmode changes its profile and becomes soft, reflecting the transition of the ground state from uniform to chiral.

Inelastic neutron scattering, probing the temporal spin-spin correlation at the different microscopic scale, is a powerful technique to study the magnetic behaviour of ferromagnetic crystals. In addition, high penetration power of neutron in samples has made it as a useful way for spin-spin interaction in neutron scattering. Changes in the magnetic cross section in term of different energy transfer and temperatures are calculated for nickel and iron as transition metals in Heisenberg model versus spin wave theory by considering atomic form factor. Finally, the effect of magnetic structure and behaviour of crystal in measuring cross-section shows that increasing temperature results in the Cross-section increase Also, the existence of propagating spin waves below Tc is compared in Ni and Fe in different momentum transfers. The relation of spin wave energy with temperature dependence of nickel has created different behaviour in the changes of cross section rather than iron.

Experimental and theoretical study of submillimeter (terahertz) spectroscopic and magnetic properties of the rare-earth aluminum borate HoAl3(BO3)4 were performed at temperatures 3–300 K. In the transmittance spectra a number of resonance lines were detected at frequencies 2–35 cm–1 for different radiation polarizations. These modes were identified as transitions between the lower levels of the ground multiplet of the Ho3+ ion split by the crystal field, including both transitions from the ground state to the excited ones and transitions between the excited states. The established excitation conditions of the observed modes and the simulation of the spectra made it possible to separate the magnetic and electric dipole transitions and to determine the energies of the corresponding states, their symmetry, and the matrix elements of the transitions. Low-frequency lines that do not fit into the established picture of the electron states of Ho3+ were also found; these lines, apparently, correspond to the ions with the distorted by defects local symmetry of the crystal field.

<div><div><div><p>We present a novel and flexible method to optimize the phase response of reflective metasurfaces towards a desired scattering profile. The scattering power is expressed as a spin-chain Hamiltonian using the radar cross section formalism. For metasurfaces reflecting an oblique plane wave, an Ising Hamiltonian is obtained. Thereby, the problem of achieving the scattering profile is recast into finding the ground-state solution of the associated Ising Hamiltonian. To rapidly explore the configuration states, we encode the Ising coefficients with quantum annealing algorithms, taking advantage of the fact that the adiabatic evolution efficiently performs energy minimization in the Ising model. Finally, the optimization problem is solved on the D-Wave 2048-qubit quantum adiabatic optimizer machine for binary phase as well as quadriphase reflective metasurfaces. Even though the work is focused on the phase modulation of metasurfaces, we believe this approach paves the way to fast optimization of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces that are mod- ulated in both amplitude and phase for multi-beam generation in and beyond 5G/6G mobile networks.</p></div></div></div>

A recently developed modulation method is used to obtain cross sections for the photoionisation of ground state neutral to ground state ionic, atomic and molecular chlorine relative to that of the HCl + (X2n 1IZ,3IZ) +-- HCl(XI ~ +) transition at the He Ia wavelength. With the known absolute cross section of the latter process, determined by (e,2e) coincidence spectroscopy, the present ell,periments provide absolute photoionisation cross sections of the CI + epz,l,o) +-- Clep) and Cli (XZ n g, 1IZ,3 IZ) +-- Clz (X I ~ t) transitions. Relative cross sections, previously determined for the transitions to the additional Cl and Clz ionic states accessible with He Ia radiation, are used to obtain absolute cross sections for the Cl+(IDz, ISO) +-- Clep) and Cli(AZnu,1IZ,3IZ, BZ~t) +-- Clz(XI~t) ionisation processes.

Low current, low pressure, steady state Townsend discharges in helium and neon gas have been investigated using the photon flux technique. Such discharges have been found to exhibit spatial non-uniformity resulting in luminous layers throughout the discharge. The separation and structure of these layers has been investigated experimentally in both gases along with the wavelength distribution of the photon flux. A Monte Carlo simulation of the discharge in neon has been used to gain information on the cross sections necessary to describe these discharges. It is found that direct excitaton of ground state atoms to the resonance level of each gas is less than indicated by some published cross section data.

This paper discusses the prospects for using magnetic nanostructures as elements of neural networks. At present neural network learning programs are actively used in analyzing and processing large data arrays; however, the development of computer technologies based on the neural network principle still remains open. Possibilities for using magnetic elements as physical carriers of information bits in these systems attract much attention from researchers and technologists due to the presence of several easily controlled parameters (order parameter) in the magnetic system, possibilities for the dimensionality reduction in magnetic elements by using magnetic nanostructures (domain boundaries, vortices, ckyrmions), superquick switching between magnetic states and some other factors. One of the key aspects of research in this regard is to determine basic controlled magnetic parameters in restricted geometries and to identify ways of controlling these parameters through internal and external factors. The paper presents a research on the magnetic ground state in restricted geometries. It deals with the magnetic state rebuilding in the system under changes in both external factors (applied magnetic field, sample dimensions) and internal ones (magnetic anisotropy constant, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction constant). Calculations were performed within the framework of micromagnetic modelling using the Object Oriented MicroMagnetic Framework ( OOMMF) sogtware. It is shown that the anisotropic exchange interaction (Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction) has a significant effect on the magnetization distribution in restricted geometries. Namely, when changing the value of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya constant in the system with uniaxial magnetic anisotropy there is a series of phase transitions observed between magnetic states of different types: transitions from the homogenous magnetic state into the skyrmion-type vortex state (domain structure with the skyrmion-type unidomain state) with subsequent domain structure reversal when changing the value of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya constant. In the case of magnetic anisotropy of easy -axis type, chirality and properties of the structures in question do not depend on the constant symbol of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction.
