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 ...

Researchers from the Department of Molecular Physics at the Fritz Haber Institute have demonstrated the first magneto-optical ...

New research demonstrates that an applied magnetic field will interact with the electronic structure of weakly magnetic, or diamagnetic, molecules to induce a magnetic-field effect that, to their ...

Researchers from the Department of Molecular Physics at the Fritz Haber Institute have demonstrated the first magneto-optical trap of a stable "closed-shell" molecule: aluminum monofluoride (AlF).

(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].

A research group has discovered significant nonreciprocal optical absorption of LiNiPO4, referred to as the optical diode effect, in which divalent nickel (Ni2+) ions are responsible for magnetism, by ...

The engineering of optically synthesized magnetic fields allows neutral atoms to emulate charged behavior, paving the way 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 ...

Mini-MOT: A new miniaturized optical system for laser cooling atoms in a magneto-optical trap, or MOT. (Courtesy: NIST) The magneto-optical trap, or MOT, is the workhorse of cold-atom physics. Without ...

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 ...
