Current induced domain wall dynamics in the presence of spin orbit torques
Current induced domain wall (DW) motion in perpendicularly magnetized
nanostripes in the presence of spin orbit torques is studied. We show using
micromagnetic simulations that the direction of the current induced DW motion
and the associated DW velocity depend on the relative values of the field like
torque (FLT) and the Slonczewski like torques (SLT). The results are well
explained by a collective coordinate model which is used to draw a phase
diagram of the DW dynamics as a function of the FLT and the SLT. We show that a
large increase in the DW velocity can be reached by a proper tuning of both
torques.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
ACL ARTHROSCOPIC RECONSTRUCTION WITH DOUBLE-STRANDED HAMSTRING TENDONS
INTRODUCTION: In the past the ACL reconstruction was performed using patellar tendon. This technique involved several advantages like post operative good stability and easy tendon gathering. Nevertheless it causes some disadvantages like pain during the act of kneeling, longer period of rehabilitation because of the tendon stiffness and dysfunction of the patella movement that can provoke patellar-femoral osteoarthritis. This is the reason why a lot of authors tried to find out other techniques that could avoid these complications. We practised the ACL reconstruction using doubled semitendinosus and gracilis tendons because it is demonstrated that they have a biological structure and biomechanical behaviour more similar to normal ACL. In this sense the use of these tendons must include tensibility closer to normal ACL, larger surface of revascularization and low risk of joint stiffness after surgery. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate clinical results using this technique in patients involved both in not professional and professional sports
Calculating energy derivatives for quantum chemistry on a quantum computer
Modeling chemical reactions and complicated molecular systems has been
proposed as the `killer application' of a future quantum computer. Accurate
calculations of derivatives of molecular eigenenergies are essential towards
this end, allowing for geometry optimization, transition state searches,
predictions of the response to an applied electric or magnetic field, and
molecular dynamics simulations. In this work, we survey methods to calculate
energy derivatives, and present two new methods: one based on quantum phase
estimation, the other on a low-order response approximation. We calculate
asymptotic error bounds and approximate computational scalings for the methods
presented. Implementing these methods, we perform the world's first geometry
optimization on an experimental quantum processor, estimating the equilibrium
bond length of the dihydrogen molecule to within 0.014 Angstrom of the full
configuration interaction value. Within the same experiment, we estimate the
polarizability of the H2 molecule, finding agreement at the equilibrium bond
length to within 0.06 a.u. (2% relative error).Comment: 19 pages, 1 page supplemental, 7 figures. v2 - tidied up and added

Domain wall tilting in the presence of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in out-of-plane magnetized magnetic nanotracks
We show that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) can lead to a
tilting of the domain wall (DW) surface in perpendicularly magnetized magnetic
nanotracks when DW dynamics is driven by an easy axis magnetic field or a spin
polarized current. The DW tilting affects the DW dynamics for large DMI and the
tilting relaxation time can be very large as it scales with the square of the
track width. The results are well explained by an analytical model based on a
Lagrangian approach where the DMI and the DW tilting are included. We propose a
simple way to estimate the DMI in a magnetic multilayers by measuring the
dependence of the DW tilt angle on a transverse static magnetic field. Our
results shed light on the current induced DW tilting observed recently in Co/Ni
multilayers with inversion asymmetry, and further support the presence of DMI
in these systems.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, 1 Supplementary Material

A Homogenization Approach for Turbulent Channel Flows over Porous Substrates: Formulation and Implementation of Effective Boundary Conditions
The turbulent flow through a plane channel bounded by a single permeable wall is considered; this is a problem of interest since a carefully chosen distribution of grains and voids in the porous medium can result in skin friction reduction for the flow in the channel. In the homogenization approach followed here, the flow is not resolved in the porous layer, but an effective velocity boundary condition is developed (and later enforced) at a virtual interface between the porous bed and the channel flow. The condition is valid up to order two in terms of a small gauge factor, the ratio of microscopic to macroscopic length scales; it contains slip coefficients, plus surface and bulk permeability coefficients, which arise from the solution of microscale problems solved in a representative elementary volume. Using the effective boundary conditions, free of empirical parameters, direct numerical simulations are then performed in the channel, considering a few different porous substrates. The results, examined in terms of mean values and turbulence statistics, demonstrate the drag-reducing effects of porous substrates with streamwise-preferential alignment of the solid grains
Further search for a neutral boson with a mass around 9 MeV/c2
Two dedicated experiments on internal pair conversion (IPC) of isoscalar M1
transitions were carried out in order to test a 9 MeV/c2 X-boson scenario. In
the 7Li(p,e+e-)8Be reaction at 1.1 MeV proton energy to the predominantly T=0
level at 18.15 MeV, a significant deviation from IPC was observed at large pair
correlation angles. In the 11B(d,n e+e-)12C reaction at 1.6 MeV, leading to the
12.71 MeV 1+ level with pure T=0 character, an anomaly was observed at 9
MeV/c2. The compatibility of the results with the scenario is discussed.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, 2 table
Chirality-induced asymmetric magnetic nucleation in Pt/Co/AlOx ultrathin microstructures
The nucleation of reversed magnetic domains in Pt/Co/AlO
microstructures with perpendicular anisotropy was studied experimentally in the
presence of an in-plane magnetic field. For large enough in-plane field,
nucleation was observed preferentially at an edge of the sample normal to this
field. The position at which nucleation takes place was observed to depend in a
chiral way on the initial magnetization and applied field directions. An
explanation of these results is proposed, based on the existence of a sizable
Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in this sample. Another consequence of this
interaction is that the energy of domain walls can become negative for in-plane
fields smaller than the effective anisotropy field.Comment: Published version, Physical Review Letters 113, 047203 (2014
