Magneto-optical effects in plasmonic nanostructures represent an exciting frontier in the convergence of photonics, nanomagnetism and materials science. By harnessing the strong local electromagnetic ...

(A) a single magnetic domain and (B) multiple magnetic domains with opposite polarization. (C) Following the subtraction of image (A) from image (B), a Kerr image with sharp contrast is obtained [39].

Nearly two centuries after Michael Faraday first showed that magnetism can twist light, physicists have uncovered a hidden magnetic ingredient inside this classic effect. The new work reveals that the ...

Photon, an elementary particle that transmits electromagnetic interaction, is a kind of gauge boson. Photons are the carriers of electromagnetic radiation, and photons are considered as the medium of ...

Recently, with the help of the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility, a research team led by Professor SHENG Zhigao at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, for ...

Now, researchers at Aalto University in Finland have created a new optical metamaterial that may make true one-way glass a reality. In its most general form, the magnetoelectric (ME) effect denotes a ...

MOUNT PLEASANT, PA, Aug. 13, 2008 – ABB, a power and automation technology company, today announced the launch of a new generation of magneto optical current transducer (MOCT-P) optical instrument ...

Multicrystalline Fine Ceramics (also referred to as "advanced ceramics") possess a microstructure of crystal grain boundaries and microscopic pores, which diffuses light and impedes light transmission ...
