Performance Comparison of Cables With Partial Transposition

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Chiara Frittitta, Federica Demattè

The need of full transposition of the current carrying elements (strands) in large cables is frequently retained as top design criterion for conductors operating in pulsed mode. However, when the transposition error, i.e., the inductance difference among t ...

Antiferromagnetic droplet soliton driven by spin current

Mohammad Hamdi

We demonstrate that a spin current flowing through a nanocontact into a uniaxial antiferromagnet with first- and second-order anisotropy can excite a self-localized dynamic magnetic soliton, known as a spin-wave droplet in ferromagnets. The droplet nucleat ...
