Abstract: The magnetization of noninteracting metallic nanoparticles is investigated by comparing the particle-size and temperature dependences of the magnetization for several mechanisms. The ...

This course provides and overview of solid state physics including free electron theory, phonons, energy bands, charge transport, semiconductors, optical properties, dielectric properties, ...

Researchers have synthesized a conducting polymer, polyaniline, exhibiting perfect diamagnetic properties, which eliminate external magnetic fields within the material. These properties are typically ...

ABSTRACT: Using the method of Picus and Beer invariants, general expressions are obtained for the total intensity I and the degree of circular polarization Р circ. of the luminescence of GaAs-type ...

Abstract: The idea behind heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is to be able to reverse high anisotropy grains by heating them and consequently reducing their anisotropy. The high anisotropy grains ...
