Artificial spin ices consist of nanomagnets arranged on the sites of various periodic and
aperiodic lattices. They have enabled the experimental investigation of a variety of …

Certain lattice wave systems in translationally invariant settings have one or more spectral
bands that are strictly flat or independent of momentum in the tight binding approximation …

This book is a comprehensive introduction to quantitative approaches to complex adaptive
systems. Practically all areas of life on this planet are constantly confronted with complex …

Strongly interacting artificial spin systems are moving beyond mimicking naturally occurring
materials to emerge as versatile functional platforms, from reconfigurable magnonics to …

Magnetic nanostructures are being developed for use in many aspects of our daily life,
spanning areas such as data storage, sensing and biomedicine. Whereas patterned …

The isolated electronic spin system of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre in diamond offers
unique possibilities to be employed as a nanoscale sensor for detection and imaging of …

Chirality or handedness distinguishes an object from its mirror images, such as the spread
thumb, index finger, and middle finger of the right and left hand. In mathematics, it is …

The structural complexity of metamaterials is limitless, but, in practice, most designs
comprise periodic architectures that lead to materials with spatially homogeneous …

Research efforts addressing spin waves (magnons) in micro-and nanostructured
ferromagnetic materials have increased tremendously in recent years. Corresponding …

In quantum-optics experiments with both natural and artificial atoms, the atoms are usually
small enough that they can be approximated as pointlike compared to the wavelength of the …
