The vortex state in a magnetic disk contains a zero-dimensional domain wall, and consequently, is a system of interest for the study of fundamental physics. In particular, the disk geometry presents a prototypical system to study the properties of vortex states and to construct proof-of-concept...

Coupling optical cavities to freely moving mechanical devices results in optomechanical systems. Enabled by advancing fabrication techniques, optomechanical systems are now easily fabricated using silicon-on-insulator chips at the micro- and nanoscale. These nano-optomechanical systems (NOMS)...

Collisions of motorized transport with wildlife impact a wide range of species and can cause injuries and economic losses to people. On roads, vehicle collisions with animals have been studied extensively, resulting in mitigation measures that reduce collisions by segregating animals and...

Nanomechanical torque magnetometry is emerging to become one of the most highly-sensitive methods for measuring magnetostatic interactions in mesoscopic magnetic materials. Here, advances in torque magnetometry are offered for the probing of new physics and extending the functionality of the...

Nanophotonic detection of nanomechanical structures for use toward mass sensing applications
DownloadSpring 2014
Nanomechanical beam resonators show much promise for use in integrated on-chip mass sensing systems. This follows from their own very small masses and also their ability to store the mechanical energy of their oscillations to produce strong measurable mechanical response signals. To achieve...

New ternary rare-earth antimonides and germanides: bonding, structures, and physical properties
DownloadFall 2009
This thesis focuses on the synthesis, structures, and physical properties of ternary rare-earth antimonides and germanides. These ternary compounds exhibit diverse polyanionic substructures with classical and non-classical Sb–Sb bonding, Ge–Ge bonding, or both. The Zintl-Klemm concept and band...

The Einstein-de Haas (EdH) effect was measured for the first time more than a century ago, and a classical theory of its operational principle existed many years before the first observation of the effect. EdH torques are generated by the time rate of change of angular momentum and represent the...
