The intensity contrast of solar photospheric faculae and network elements : II. Evolution over the rising phase of solar cycle 23
2006
We studied the radiative properties of small magnetic elements (active region faculae and the network) during the rising phase of solar cycle 23 from 1996 to 2001, determining their contrasts as a function of heliocentric angle, magnetogram signal, and the solar cycle phase. We combined near-simultaneous full disk images of the line-of-sight magnetic field and photospheric continuum intensity provided by the MDI instrument on board the SOHO spacecraft. Sorting the magnetogram signal into different ranges allowed us to distinguish between the contrast of different magnetic structures. We find that the contrast center-to-limb variation (CLV) of these small magnetic elements is independent of …
Diseño, fabricación, caracterización y estudio de aplicabilidad de un sensor de corriente eléctrica basado en tecnología válvula de espín y un detect…

El efecto magnetorresistivo (MR) es el cambio de resistencia eléctrica de un material conductor cuando éste es sometido a un campo magnético externo. Este fenómeno se conoce desde 1856 (Lord Kelvin) como efecto magnetorresistivo anisotrópico. Se trata, en general de un fenómeno de baja intensidad donde la variación de resistencia es del 3%. En los años 80, los sensores basados en el efecto AMR eran aplicados como cabezas lectoras en los sistemas de almacenamiento de datos. A mediados de esa misma década se desarrolló la tecnología capaz de fabricar capas nanométricas permitiendo el estudio y desarrollo de nuevos materiales. En 1988 dos grupos de investigación descubrieron materiales donde e…
Molecular spintronics: from magnetic materials to light emitting spintronic devices
2014
En el campo de la electrónica tradicional de semiconductores, la detección de cambios en la corriente eléctrica bajo la influencia de estímulos externos es el principio operacional de los dispositivos fabricados. La manipulación activa del grado de libertad de espín de los portadores de carga, sumado al control sobre la carga eléctrica, es el tema central que concierne a un campo de investigación relativamente joven denominado espintrónica. En el área de la nanotecnología, la espintrónica es una de los campos de investigación más emergentes, suponiendo una rama muy activa dentro del nanomagnetismo. El origen de esta área de conocimiento se puede situar en 1982 con el trabajo de Albert Fert …

X-rays from accretion shocks in classical T Tauri stars: 2D MHD modeling and the role of local absorption
2013
AbstractIn classical T Tauri stars (CTTS) strong shocks are formed where the accretion funnel impacts with the denser stellar chromosphere. Although current models of accretion provide a plausible global picture of this process, some fundamental aspects are still unclear: the observed X-ray luminosity in accretion shocks is order of magnitudes lower than predicted; the observed density and temperature structures of the hot post-shock region are puzzling and still unexplained by models.To address these issues we performed 2D MHD simulations describing an accretion stream impacting onto the chromosphere of a CTTS, exploring different configurations and strengths of the magnetic field. From th…
Timing of the accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J17591-2342: evidence of spin-down during accretion
2020
We report on the phase-coherent timing analysis of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar IGR J17591-2342, using Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) data taken during the outburst of the source between 2018 August 15 and 2018 October 17. We obtain an updated orbital solution of the binary system. We investigate the evolution of the neutron star spin frequency during the outburst, reporting a refined estimate of the spin frequency and the first estimate of the spin frequency derivative ($\dot{\nu} \sim -7\times 10^{-14}$ Hz s$^{-1}$), confirmed independently from the modelling of the fundamental frequency and its first harmonic. We further investigate the evolution of the X-ra…

UV And X-Ray Emission from Impacts of Fragmented Accretion Streams on Classical T Tauri Stars
2016
According to the magnetoshperic accretion scenario, during their evo- lution, Classical T Tauri stars accrete material from their circumstellar disk. The accretion process is regulated by the stellar magnetic eld and produces hot and dense post-shocks on the stellar surface as a result of impacts of the downfalling material. The impact regions are expected to strongly radiate in UV and X-rays. Several lines of evidence support the magnetospheric accretion scenario, especially in optical and infrared bands. However several points still remain unclear as, for instance,where the complex-pro le UV lines originate, or whether and how UV and X-ray emission is produced in the same shock region. Th…
Magnetic properties of Co2Mn1−xFexSi Heusler alloys
2006
Co2Mn1−xFexSi Heusler alloys with Fe concentration x = 0–0.4 as prepared by arc melting show a L21 long range order for all Fe concentrations. Magnetic properties of Co2Mn1−xFexSi Heusler alloys were investigated by magnetometry and circular magnetic dichroism. The magnetization of the Fe doped Heusler alloys is in agreement with the Slater–Pauling values expected for half-metallic ferromagnets. Element specific magnetic moments as determined by x-ray absorption using the total electron yield method are in disagreement with theoretical predictions for x = 0 but approach the predicted values as the Fe concentration increases. Surprisingly small Fe concentration increases the magnetic moments…
High-spin polarization of Heusler alloys
2006
Fermi surface of a half-metal compound with cubic Fm–3m symmetry: Heusler alloy or double perovskite.The inset shows the spin resolved density of state for a CCFA Heusler compound. ( This illustration appears on the cover of the print edition. ) This cluster issue of Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics is devoted to magnetic Heusler alloys. This class of materials is currently considered to contain the most attractive half-metallic ferromagnets due to their high Curie temperatures and their structural relation to conventional semiconductors. The first compound to be identified as a half-metallic ferromagnet, by de Groot et al back in 1983, was the half-Heusler alloy NiMnSb. After a period…
