Abstract Magneto-optical (MO) effects, viz. magnetically induced changes in light intensity or
polarization upon reflection from or transmission through a magnetic sample, were …

Achiral mesogenic molecules are shown to be able to spontaneously assemble into liquid
crystalline smectic phases having either simple or double‐helical structures. At the transition …

The complex behavior of horizontally polarized surface shear waves in magnetoelectric
surface acoustic wave based magnetic field sensor devices is revealed by time‐resolved …

Magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) microscopy is a versatile technique to image magnetic
domains and evaluate the behavior of magnetic materials. However, MOKE has been rarely …

The propagation of magnetostatic surface spin waves in permalloy stripes was observed by
high-resolution wide-field magneto-optical Kerr microscopy using the stroboscope …

We report on the direct observation of spin wave and elastic wave emission from magnetic
domain walls in ferromagnetic thin films. Driven by alternating homogeneous magnetic fields …

The resonant interaction of electrically excited traveling surface acoustic waves and
magnetization has hitherto been probed through the acoustic component. In this work we …

Abstract Setting the magnetization and its properties in magnetic materials and films is of the
utmost fundamental and technological importance for magnetic applications and devices …

We report on the measurement of the local magnetization dynamics occurring, at units of
GHz, in large aspect ratio stripes lithographed from reduced damping amorphous Fe 80 B …

Magneto‐optical Kerr microscopy is a powerful method for imaging magnetic domains. Even
though domain imaging below the diffractive resolution limit is possible, such investigations …
