Incommensurate phases

Incommensurately modulated crystalline phases are part of a more general family called aperiodic crystals. Their symmetry is treated within the theoretical framework of superspace groups that is a generalization of the 3D space groups that are used for con ...

Spin dynamics, loop formation and cooperative reversal in artificial quasicrystals with tailored exchange coupling

Dirk Grundler, Sho Watanabe, Vinayak Shantaram Bhat

Aperiodicity and un-conventional rotational symmetries allow quasicrystalline structures to exhibit unusual physical and functional properties. In magnetism, artificial ferromagnetic quasicrystals exhibited knee anomalies suggesting reprogrammable magnetic ...

Magnons, worms and nanogratings in artificial magnetic quasicrystals

Sho Watanabe

Magnons (spin waves, SWs) are elementary spin excitations in magnetically ordered materials. They are the promising quanta for the transmission and processing of information. Magnons can be coupled to the electromagnetic waves utilized for the wireless com ...

Angle-dependent magnetization dynamics with mirror-symmetric excitations in artificial quasicrystalline nanomagnet lattices

Dirk Grundler, Vinayak Shantaram Bhat

We report angle-dependent spin-wave spectroscopy on aperiodic quasicrystalline magnetic lattices, i.e., Ammann, Penrose P2 and P3 lattices made of large arrays of interconnected Ni80Fe20 nanobars. Spin-wave spectra obtained in the nearly saturated state co ...

Layout Technique for Double-Gate Silicon Nanowire FETs With an Efficient Sea-of-Tiles Architecture

Giovanni De Micheli, Shashi Kanth Bobba

As we advance into the era of nanotechnology, semiconductor devices are scaled down to their physical limits, thereby opening up venues for new transistor channel materials based on nanowires and nanotubes. Transistors based on nanowires and nanotubes inhe ...

High robustness of correlation-based alignment with Penrose patterns to marker damage in electron beam lithography

Correlation-based alignment is an alternative alignment method for electron beam lithography. Using complex marker patterns, such as Penrose patterns, which contain more positional information, greater alignment accuracy can be achieved. Correlation-based ...

Overview of co-deposition and fuel inventory in castellated divertor structures at JET

Richard Pitts

The main focus of this work is fuel retention in plasma components of the JET water-cooled Mk-I divertors operated with small tiles, first with carbon fibre composite (CFC) and then with castellated beryllium. Until recently these have been the only large- ...
