The response in capacitance to low external magnetic fields (up to 0.1 T) of suspensions of spherical magnetic nanoparticles, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), SWCNT functionalized with carboxyl group (SWCNT-COOH) and SWCNT functionalized with Fe$_3$O$_4$ nanoparticles in a nematic liquid crystal has been studied experimentally. The volume concentration of nanoparticles was $phi_1$ = 10$^{-4}$ and $phi_2$ = 10$^{-3}$. Independent of the type and the volume concentration of the nanoparticles, a linear response to low magnetic fields (far below the magnetic Freederiksz transition threshold) has been observed, which is not present in the undoped nematic.

We explore a thermal mechanism of changing the anisotropy by femtosecond laser pulses in dielectric ferrimagnetic garnets by taking a low symmetry (YBiPrLu)3(FeGa)5O12 film grown on the (210)-oriented Gd3Ga5O12 substrate as a model media. We demonstr
ate by means of spectral magneto-optical pump-probe technique and phenomenological analysis, that the magnetization precession in such a film is triggered by laser-induced changes of the growth-induced magnetic anisotropy along with the well-known ultrafast inverse Faraday effect. The change of magnetic anisotropy is mediated by the lattice heating induced by laser pulses of arbitrary polarization on a picosecond time scale. We show that the orientation of the external magnetic field with respect to the magnetization easy plane noticeably affects the precession excited via the anisotropy change. Importantly, the relative contributions from the ultrafast inverse Faraday effect and the change of different growth-induced anisotropy parameters can be controlled by varying the applied magnetic field strength and direction. As a result, the amplitude and the initial phase of the excited magnetization precession can be gradually tuned.
Electrostatic gating lies in the heart of modern FET-based integrated circuits. Usually, the gate electrode has to be placed very close to the conduction channel, typically a few nanometers, in order to achieve efficient tunability. However, remote c
ontrol of a FET device through a gate electrode placed far away is always highly desired, because it not only reduces the complexity of device fabrication, but also enables designing novel devices with new functionalities. Here, a non-local gating effect in graphene using both near-field optical nano-imaging and electrical transport measurement is reported. With assistance of absorbed water molecules, the charge density of graphene can be efficiently tuned by a local-gate placed over 30 {mu}m away. The observed non-local gating effect is initially driven by an in-plane electric field established between graphene regions with different charge densities due to the quantum capacitance near the Dirac point in graphene. The nonlocality is further amplified and largely enhanced by absorbed water molecules through screening the in-plane electric field and expending the transition length. This research reveals novel non-local phenomenon of Dirac electrons, and paves the way for designing electronic devices with remote-control using 2D materials with small density of states.
Coarse-grained molecular-dynamics simulations were used to study the morphological changes induced in a Nafion$^{tiny textregistered}$-like ionomer by the imposition of a strong electric field. We observe the formation of novel structures aligned a
long the direction of the applied field. The polar head groups of the ionomer side chains aggregate into clusters, which then form rod-like formations which assemble into a hexatic array aligned with the direction of the field. Occasionally these lines of sulfonates and protons form a helical structure. Upon removal of the electric field, the hexatic array of rod-like structures persists, and has a lower calculated free energy than the original isotropic morphology.
Cubic spinel GeNi2O4 exhibits intriguing magnetic properties with two successive antiferromagnetic phase transitions (TN1 12.1 and TN2 11.4 K) with the absence of any structural transition. We have performed detailed heat capacity and magnetic measur
ements in different crystallographic orientations. A new magnetic phase in presence of magnetic field (H > 4 T) along the [111] direction is revealed, which is not observed when the magnetic field is applied along the [100] and [110] directions. High field neutron powder diffraction measurements confirm such a change in magnetic phase, which could be ascribed to a spin reorientation in the presence of magnetic field. A strong magnetic anisotropy and competing magnetic interactions play a crucial role on the complex magnetic behavior in this cubic system.
The novel field-induced re-entrant phase in multiferroic hexagonal HoMnO3 is investigated to lower temperatures by dc magnetization, ac susceptibility, and specific heat measurements at various magnetic fields. Two new phases have been unambiguously
identified below the Neel transition temperature, TN=76 K, for magnetic fields up to 50 kOe. The existence of an intermediate phase between the P[6]_3[c]m and P[6]_3c[m] magnetic structures (previously predicted from dielectric measurements) was confirmed and the magnetic properties of this phase have been investigated. At low temperatures (T<5 K) a dome shaped phase boundary characterized by a magnetization jump and a narrow heat capacity peak was detected between the magnetic fields of 5 kOe and 18 kOe. The transition across this phase boundary is of first order and the magnetization and entropy jumps obey the magnetic analogue of the Clausius-Clapeyron relation. Four of the five low-temperature phases coexist at a tetracritical point at 2 K and 18 kOe. The complex magnetic phase diagram so derived provides an informative basis for unraveling the underlying driving forces for the occurrence of the various phases and the coupling between the different orders.
