Direct probing of band-structure Berry phase in diluted magnetic semiconductors
We report on experimental evidence of the Berry phase accumulated by the
charge carrier wave function in single-domain nanowires made from a
(Ga,Mn)(As,P) diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor layer. Its signature on the
mesoscopic transport measurements is revealed as unusual patterns in the
magnetoconductance, that are clearly distinguished from the universal
conductance fluctuations. We show that these patterns appear in a magnetic
field region where the magnetization rotates coherently and are related to a
change in the band-structure Berry phase as the magnetization direction
changes. They should be thus considered as a band structure Berry phase
fingerprint of the effective magnetic monopoles in the momentum space. We argue
that this is an efficient method to vary the band structure in a controlled way
and to probe it directly. Hence, (Ga,Mn)As appears to be a very interesting
test bench for new concepts based on this geometrical phase.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
Improving HTc Josephson Junctions (HTc JJ) by annealing: the role of vacancy-interstitial annihilation
We have studied the annealing effect in transport properties of High
temperature Josephson Junctions (HTc JJ) made by ion irradiation. Low
temperature annealing (80 degrees Celsius) increases the JJ transition
temperature (TJ) and the Ic.Rn product, where Ic is the critical current and Rn
the normal resistance. We found that the spread in JJ characteristics can be
lowered by sufficient long annealing times. Using random walk numerical
simulations, we showed that the characteristic annealing time and the evolution
of the spread in JJ characteristics can be explained by a vacancy-interstitial
annihilation process rather than by an oxygen diffusion one.Comment: 7 pages and 3 figures submitted to Applied Physics Letter
Study and optimization of ion-irradiated High-Tc Josephson nanoJunctions by Monte Carlo simulations
High Tc Josephson nanoJunctions (HTc JnJ) made by ion irradiation have
remarkable properties for technological applications. However, the spread in
their electrical characteristics increases with the ion dose. We present a
simple model to explain the JnJ inhomogeneities, which accounts quantitatively
for experimental data. The spread in the slit's width of the irradiation mask
is the limiting factor.Monte Carlo simulations have been performed using
different irradiation conditions to study their influence on the spread of the
JnJ charcateristics. A "universal" behavior has been evidenced, which allows to
propose new strategies to optimize JnJ reproducibility.Comment: 14 pages, 6 Figures. accepted in Journal of Applied Physic
Coupling efficiency for phase locking of a spin transfer oscillator to a microwave current
The phase locking behavior of spin transfer nano-oscillators (STNOs) to an
external microwave signal is experimentally studied as a function of the STNO
intrinsic parameters. We extract the coupling strength from our data using the
derived phase dynamics of a forced STNO. The predicted trends on the coupling
strength for phase locking as a function of intrinsic features of the
oscillators i.e. power, linewidth, agility in current, are central to optimize
the emitted power in arrays of mutually coupled STNOs
Unusual magneto-transport of YBa2Cu3O7-d films due to the interplay of anisotropy, random disorder and nanoscale periodic pinning
We study the general problem of a manifold of interacting elastic lines whose
spatial correlations are strongly affected by the competition between random
and ordered pinning. This is done through magneto-transport experiments with
YBa2Cu3O7-d thin films that contain a periodic vortex pinning array created via
masked ion irradiation, in addition to the native random pinning. The strong
field-matching effects we observe suggest the prevalence of periodic pinning,
and indicate that at the matching field each vortex line is bound to an
artificial pinning site. However, the vortex-glass transition dimensionality,
quasi-2D instead of the usual 3D, evidences reduced vortex-glass correlations
along the vortex line. This is also supported by an unusual angular dependence
of the magneto-resistance, which greatly differs from that of Bose-glass
systems. A quantitative analysis of the angular magnetoresistance allows us to
link this behaviour to the enhancement of the system anisotropy, a collateral
effect of the ion irradiation
Multi-wavelength SPAD photoplethysmography for cardio-respiratory monitoring
There is a growing interest in photoplethysmography (PPG) for the continuous monitoring of cardio-respiratory signals by portable instrumentation aimed at the early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. In this context, it is conceivable that PPG sensors working at different wavelengths simultaneously can optimize the identification of apneas and the quantification of the associated heart-rate changes or other parameters that depend on the PPG shape (e.g., systematic vascular resistance and pressure), when evaluating the severity of breathing disorders during sleep and in general for health monitoring. Therefore, the objective of this work is to present a novel pulse oximeter that provides synchronous data logging related to three light wavelengths (green, red, and infrared) in transmission mode to optimize both heart rate measurements and a reliable and continuous assessment of oxygen saturation. The transmission mode is considered more robust over motion artifacts than reflection mode, but current pulse oximeters cannot employ green light in transmission mode due to the high absorbance of body tissues at this wavelength. For this reason, our device is based on a Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) with very short deadtime (less than 1 ns) to have, at the same time, the single photon sensitivity and high-count rate that allows acquiring all the wavelengths of interest on the same site and in transmission mode. Previous studies have shown that SPAD cameras can be used for measuring the heart rate through remote PPG, but oxygen saturation and heart-rate measures through contact SPAD-based PPG sensors have never been addressed so far. The results of the preliminary validation on six healthy volunteers reflect the expected physiological phenomena, providing rms errors in the Inter Beat Interval estimation smaller than 70 ms (with green light) and a maximum error in the oxygen saturation smaller than 1% during the apneas. Our prototype demonstrates the reliability of SPAD-based devices for continuous long-term monitoring of cardio-respiratory variables as an alternative to photodiodes especially when minimal area and optical power are required
Direct observation of domain-wall configurations transformed by spin currents
Direct observations of current-induced domain-wall propagation by
spin-polarized scanning electron microscopy are reported. Current pulses move
head-to-head as well as tail-to-tail walls in sub-micrometer Fe_{20}Ni_{80}
wires in the direction of the electron flow, and a decay of the wall velocity
with the number of injected current pulses is observed. High-resolution images
of the domain walls reveal that the wall spin structure is transformed from a
vortex to a transverse configuration with subsequent pulse injections. The
change in spin structure is directly correlated with the decay of the velocity.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
