Switching Reciprocity On and Off in a Magneto-Optical X-Ray Scattering Experiment Using Nuclear Resonance ofα−Fe57Foils
2012
Reciprocity is when the scattering amplitude of wave propagation satisfies a symmetry property, connecting a scattering process with an appropriate reversed one. We report on an experiment using nuclear resonance scattering of synchrotron radiation, which demonstrates that magneto-optical materials do not necessarily violate reciprocity. The setting enables us to switch easily between reciprocity and its violation. In the latter case, the exhibited reciprocity violation is orders of magnitude larger than achieved by previous wave scattering experiments.
Topological Defects in Nanostructures—Chiral Domain Walls and Skyrmions
2016
In this chapter, spin structures with particular topologies in confined geometries are presented. Domain walls in nanowires exhibit a spin structure that depends on the material and geometry while in discs Skyrmions can be stabilized by different competing interactions. The topologies of these spin structures can be characterized by a Skyrmion or Winding number that governs the dynamics and stability.
Influence of domain wall anisotropy on the current-induced hysteresis loop shift for quantification of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction
2021
Using several material systems with various magnitudes of the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), we elucidate a critical influence of domain wall (DW) anisotropy on the current-induced hysteresis loop shift scheme widely employed to determine the magnitude of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya effective field (${H}_{\mathrm{DMI}}$). Taking into account the DW anisotropy in the analysis of the hysteresis loop shift, which has not been included in the original model [Phys. Rev. B 93, 144409 (2016)], we show that it provides quantitative agreement of ${H}_{\mathrm{DMI}}$ with that determined from an asymmetric bubble expansion technique for small DMI material systems. For large DMI sy…
Solitary excitations in one-dimensional magnets
1991
Abstract The present status of theoretical and experimental investigations of solitary excitations in one-dimensional magnetic systems is reviewed. A survey of exact solutions to the nonlinear equations of motion for pertinent classical chain systems (sine-Gordon chain and ferromagnetic Heisenberg chains with various anisotropies) is given. Particular emphasis is devoted to the role of solitons in the thermodynamics of such systems. Models corresponding to real quasi-one-dimensional magnets are broadly discussed to demonstrate the properties of their solitary excitations. The experimental significance of such nonlinear excitations in the static and dynamic quantities of such systems is disc…
Reply to “Comment on ‘Polarizability of the pion: No conflict between dispersion theory and chiral perturbation theory’”
2009
We show that the alleged discrepancies between chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) and dispersion theory, reported for the polarizability of the pion by Fil'kov and Kashevarov [Phys. Rev. C 72, 035211 (2005)], result from applying dispersion theory to nonanalytic functions.
The polarizability of the pion: no conflict between dispersion theory and chiral perturbation theory
2008
Recent attempts to determine the pion polarizability by dispersion relations yield values that disagree with the predictions of chiral perturbation theory. These dispersion relations are based on specific forms for the absorptive part of the Compton amplitudes. The analytic properties of these forms are examined, and the strong enhancement of intermediate-meson contributions is shown to be connected with spurious singularities. If the basic requirements of dispersion relations are taken into account, the results of dispersion theory and effective field theory are not inconsistent.
Study of non-fusion products in the Ti50+Cf249 reaction
2018
The isotopic distribution of nuclei produced in the 50Ti + 249Cf reaction has been studied at the gas-filled recoil separator TASCA at GSI Darmstadt, which separates ions according to differences in magnetic rigidity. The bombardment was performed at an energy around the Bass barrier and with the TASCA magnetic fields set for collecting fusion-evaporation reaction products. Fifty-three isotopes located “north-east” of 208Pb were identified as recoiling products formed in non-fusion channels of the reaction. These recoils were implanted with energies in two distinct ranges; besides one with higher energy, a significant low-energy contribution was identified. The latter observation was not ex…
Enhanced solar anti-neutrino flux in random magnetic fields
2004
We discuss the impact of the recent KamLAND constraint on the solar anti-neutrino flux on the analysis of solar neutrino data in the presence of Majorana neutrino transition magnetic moments and solar magnetic fields. We consider different stationary solar magnetic field models, both regular and random, highlighting the strong enhancement in the anti-neutrino production rates that characterize turbulent solar magnetic field models. Moreover, we show that for such magnetic fields inside the Sun, one can constrain the intrinsic neutrino magnetic moment down to the level of mu_nu lessthan few times 10^-12 x mu_B irrespective of details of the underlying turbulence model. This limit is more str…
Model independent bounds on the tau lepton electromagnetic and weak magnetic moments
2000
Using LEP1, SLD and LEP2 data, for tau lepton production, and data from CDF, D0 and LEP2, for W decays into tau leptons, we set model independent limits on non-standard electromagnetic and weak magnetic moments of the tau lepton. The most general effective Lagrangian giving rise to tau moments is used without further assumptions. Precise bounds ($2\sigma$) on the non-standard model contributions to tau electromagnetic ($-0.007<a_\gamma< 0.005$), tau Z-magnetic ($-0.0024 <a_Z< 0.0025$) and tau W-magnetic ($-0.003 < \kappa^W < 0.004$) dipole moments are set from the analysis.
