Ultrafast perturbation of magnetic domains by optical pumping in a ferromagnetic multilayer
Dmitriy Zusin, Ezio Iacocca, Loïc Le Guyader +23
Ultrafast optical pumping of spatially nonuniform magnetic textures is known to induce far-from-equilibrium spin transport effects. Here, we use ultrafast x-ray diffraction with un…
Revealing the nature of the ultrafast magnetic phase transition in Ni by correlating extreme ultraviolet magneto-optic and photoemission spectroscopies
Wenjing You, Phoebe Tengdin, Cong Chen +10
By correlating time- and angle-resolved photoemission and time-resolved transverse- magneto- optical Kerr effect measurements, both at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths, we uncover t…
Narrowly distributed crystal orientation in biomineral vaterite
Boaz Pokroy, Lee Kabalah Amitai, Iryna Polishchuk +6
Biominerals formed by animals provide skeletal support, and many other functions. They were previously shown to grow by aggregation of amorphous nanoparticles, but never to grow io…
Crystal nucleation and near-epitaxial growth in nacre
Ian C. Olson, Adam Z. Blonsky, Nobumichi Tamura +2
Nacre is a layered, iridescent lining found inside many mollusk shells, with a unique brick-and-mortar periodic structure at the sub-micron scale, and remarkable resistance to frac…
