Phenomenology of altermagnets
Altermagnets have recently emerged as a new class of magnetic materials sharing properties of both antiferromagnets and ferromagnets. Despite very small net magnetization, they show phenomena usually associated with ferromagnetism, such as the Faraday, Kerr and Anomalous Hall effects, resulting from the relativistic spin-orbit coupling, as well as the spin splitting of electron bands and Spin Hall Effect of non-relativistic origin. Spin space groups and magnetic multipoles are used to explain s…

Engineering Magnetization with Photons: Nanoscale Advances in the Inverse Faraday Effect for Metallic and Plasmonic Systems
The inverse Faraday effect, the ability of light to act as a source of magnetism, is a cornerstone of modern ultrafast optics. Harnessing this effect at the nanoscale promises to transform data storage and spintronics, yet its predictive understanding remains elusive. This review synthesizes recent progress in engineering the IFE within plasmonic architectures. We bridge the theoretical foundations, from classical drift current models to quantum descriptions, with the latest experimental milest…

Adiabatic observables and Berry curvatures in insulators and metals
A sharp definition of what "adiabatic" means is given; it is then shown that the time-dependent expectation value of a quantum-mechanical observable in the adiabatic limit can be expressed -- in many cases -- by means of the appropriate Berry curvature. Condensed-matter observables belonging to this class include: Born effective charges in insulators and in metals, quantized Faraday charges in electrolytes, and linear dc conductivities (longitudinal and transverse). Remarkably, the adiabatic li…

Tonight was great. I tried dried Lychee for the first time, which was quite an experience! Feels like a bearded dragon I had in a past life, but somehow tastes like a grape mixed with a pear.
More importantly though, I have discovered slap bracelet rulers during our trip to Target this evening. Haha

tin foil hats are old fashioned.
we need Faraday balaclavas.

A new window into the sub-parsec scale magnetic field in the Milky Way? Unveiling small-scale magneto-ionic structures with Faraday complexity
Radio broadband spectro-polarimetric observations are sensitive to the spatial fluctuations of the Faraday depth (FD) within the telescope beam. Such FD fluctuations are referred to as "Faraday complexity", and can unveil small-scale magneto-ionic structures in both the synchrotron-emitting and the foreground volumes. We explore the astrophysical origin of the Faraday complexity exhibited by 191 polarised extragalactic radio sources (EGSs) within 5 deg from the Galactic plane in the longitude r…

Modeling Polarized Radio Sounding Observations of a Coronal Mass Ejection
Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) evolve significantly as they propagate from the Sun to the Earth, so remote observations of their changes in speed, strength of the magnetic field, density, and overall structure are critical for predicting their arrival time and geoeffectiveness. Radio line-of-sight observations of Faraday rotation and Total Electron Content combined with white-light observations enables the measurement of these properties with careful analyses. This paper describes the analysis t…

The Flexible Accumulation Model for High Density Temporal Exposures
Emerging technologies enable continuous monitoring of temporal exposures to disease risk factors, leading to complex structures in the exposure process that consists of a subject-specific number and duration of exposure episodes. A key scientific question is how does the number and duration of episodic exposure affect disease risk. We address this question by introducing the FLexible Accumulation ModEl (FLAME) and the associated inferential tools, whose finite sample performance is evaluated th…

Hey everyone! I've made the jump from Mastodon.Social and wanted to introduce myself. I'm an electrical engineer living in the southeastern USA.
You'll find me tooting about Linux, FOSS, Python, and scripting. When I'm not on the keyboard, I'm into photography, hiking, and enjoying nature with my spouse.
Also, I have two black cats that pay rent with their winning personalities and love. lol :rickdance:

Detecting Collective Excitations in Self-Gravitating Bose-Einstein Condensates via Faraday Waves
We propose Faraday waves as a probe for collective excitations in self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates (SGBECs), driven by periodic modulation of the $s$-wave scattering length. Linear stability analysis of the driven Gross-Pitaevskii-Newton equations reveals that parametric instability follows a Mathieu-like equation, with Faraday waves emerging resonantly when half the driving frequency matches the collective excitation frequency of the SGBEC. This framework yields a stability phase dia…

Nitrogen vacancy center in diamond-based Faraday magnetometer
The nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond is a versatile color center used for magnetometry, quantum computing, and quantum communications. In this article, using a single laser beam as a pump and probe, we measure the spin states of the NV center using the Faraday effect and use such measurements to develop a novel magnetic field sensor. Using the spin-state-dependent effect on the left and right circularly polarized light, we probe and confirm the existence of spin-orbit coupling in the NV …

Competing Mechanisms at Vibrated Interfaces of Density-Stratified Fluids
Fluid--fluid interfacial instability and subsequent fluid mixing are ubiquitous in nature and engineering. Two hydrodynamic instabilities have long been thought to govern the interface behavior: the pressure gradient-driven long-wavelength Rayleigh--Taylor (RT) instability and resonance-induced short-wavelength Faraday instability. However, neither instability alone can explain the dynamics when both mechanisms act concurrently. Instead, we identify a previously unseen multi-modal instability e…

Wind of Change: Faraday Rotation in a Simulated Large Magellanic Cloud
Magnetic fields significantly influence the structure of galaxies' interstellar media, but our understanding of magnetic field strengths and structures in external galaxies is severely limited. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) offers a unique opportunity for improvement due to its proximity and large angular size, allowing for various detailed observations, particularly rich datasets of rotation measures and dispersion measures (RM and DM). However, interpreting these measurements is challengin…

Design and performance of a Toroidal RF Volume Coil with Intrinsic Electromagnetic Interference Rejection for low-field Portable Halbach-Based MRI Systems
Purpose: One of the intrinsic limitations of low-field MRI is low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which can be further reduced by electromagnetic interference (EMI) due to the lack of a Faraday shielded room. To address this issue, we propose a novel RF coil design that is inherently less sensitive to EMI while maintaining high receive sensitivity. Methods: The proposed coil structure is based on an anapole (toroidal) design and consists of six rings, each containing four continuous wires wound ar…

The polarization of strongly lensed point-like radio sources
Aims. The magnetized medium induces birefringence, splitting the light into two distinct wave modes. The differing propagation speeds of the two modes result in different trajectories. Strong gravitational lensing amplifies the birefringence and introduces an additional geometric rotation on top of the Faraday rotation. We compare the geometric rotation with the Faraday rotation. Methods. We construct the lens equation for massive objects in a magnetized plasma environment, and calculate the ti…

Deeper insight into the terahertz response of conventional superconductors under magnetic field
We investigate the terahertz conductivity of conventional superconductors in Voigt and Faraday magneto-optical configurations. First, we review theoretical approaches describing the fundamental processes of suppression of superconductivity in magnetic field and how the in-gap states are filled. In the Voigt geometry, thin superconducting films are fully penetrated by the magnetic field which interacts with the spin, thus modifying the magnitudes of the optical gap and of the density of the cond…
