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 ...

Nanoscale maze-like magnetic patterns form reliably across strained substrates, removing a key bottleneck for faster, more ...

A collaborative team has developed a new way to create magnetic optical materials, one that removes a long-standing design ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries ...

(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].

Researchers have developed a precision magnetometer based on a special material that changes optical properties in response ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The origins of magnetic steel can be traced back to the 18 th century when scientists began experimenting with iron alloys. In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted's accidental discovery of electromagnetism ...
