Reversible strain effect on the magnetization of LaCoO3 films
The magnetization of ferromagnetic LaCoO3 films grown epitaxially on
piezoelectric substrates has been found to systematically decrease with the
reduction of tensile strain. The magnetization change induced by the reversible
strain variation reveals an increase of the Co magnetic moment with tensile
strain. The biaxial strain dependence of the Curie temperature is estimated to
be below 4K/% in the as-grown tensile strain state of our films. This is in
agreement with results from statically strained films on various substrates
Pupillometry, a bioengineering overview
The pupillary control system is examined using a microprocessor based integrative pupillometer. The real time software functions of the microprocessor include: data collection, stimulus generation and area to diameter conversion. Results of an analysis of linear and nonlinear phenomena are presented
Spin dephasing and pumping in graphene due to random spin-orbit interaction
We consider spin effects related to the random spin-orbit interaction in
graphene. Such a random interaction can result from the presence of ripples
and/or other inhomogeneities at the graphene surface. We show that the random
spin-orbit interaction generally reduces the spin dephasing (relaxation) time,
even if the interaction vanishes on average. Moreover, the random spin-orbit
coupling also allows for spin manipulation with an external electric field. Due
to the spin-flip interband as well as intraband optical transitions, the spin
density can be effectively generated by periodic electric field in a relatively
broad range of frequencies.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
Low-frequency incommensurate magnetic response in strongly correlated systems
It is shown that in the t-J model of Cu-O planes at low frequencies the
dynamic spin structure factor is peaked at incommensurate wave vectors
(1/2+-delta,1/2)$, (1/2,1/2+-delta). The incommensurability is connected with
the momentum dependencies of the magnon frequency and damping near the
antiferromagnetic wave vector. The behavior of the incommensurate peaks is
similar to that observed in La_{2-x}(Ba,Sr)_xCuO_{4+y} and YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}:
for hole concentrations 0.02<x<=0.12 we find that delta is nearly proportional
to x, while for x>0.12 it tends to saturation. The incommensurability
disappears with increasing temperature. Generally the incommensurate magnetic
response is not accompanied by an inhomogeneity of the carrier density.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
