We report an experimental study of the 1064nm transition dipoles in neodymium doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd-YAG) by measuring the coupling constant between two orthogonal modes of a laser cavity for different cuts of the YAG gain crystal. We propose a theoretical model in which the transition dipoles, slightly elliptic, are oriented along the crystallographic axes. Our experimental measurements show a very good quantitative agreement with this model, and predict a dipole ellipticity between 2% and 3%. This work provides an experimental evidence for the simple description in which transition dipoles and crystallographic axes are collinear in Nd-YAG (with an accuracy better than 1 deg), a point that has been discussed for years.

We present a model for the halo--mass correlation function that explicitly incorporates halo exclusion. We assume that halos trace mass in a way that can be described using a single scale-independent bias parameter. However, our model exhibits scale dependent biasing due to the impact of halo-exclusion, the use of a ``soft (i.e. not infinitely sharp) halo boundary, and differences in the one halo term contributions to $xi_{rm hm}$ and $xi_{rm mm}$. These features naturally lead us to a redefinition of the halo boundary that lies at the ``by eye transition radius from the one--halo to the two--halo term in the halo--mass correlation function. When adopting our proposed definition, our model succeeds in describing the halo--mass correlation function with $approx 2%$ residuals over the radial range $0.1 h^{-1}{rm Mpc} < r < 80 h^{-1}{rm Mpc}$, and for halo masses in the range $10^{13} h^{-1}{rm M}_{odot} < M < 10^{15} h^{-1}{rm M}_{odot}$. Our proposed halo boundary is related to the splashback radius by a roughly constant multiplicative factor. Taking the 87-percentile as reference we find $r_{rm t}/R_{rm sp} approx 1.3$. Surprisingly, our proposed definition results in halo abundances that are well described by the Press-Schechter mass function with $delta_{rm sc}=1.449pm 0.004$. The clustering bias parameter is offset from the standard background-split prediction by $approx 10%-15%$. This level of agreement is comparable to that achieved with more standard halo definitions.
Spin-phonon interaction is an important channel for spin and energy relaxation in magnetic insulators. Understanding this interaction is critical for developing magnetic insulator-based spintronic devices. Quantifying this interaction in yttrium iron garnet (YIG), one of the most extensively investigated magnetic insulators, remains challenging because of the large number of atoms in a unit cell. Here, we report temperature-dependent and polarization-resolved Raman measurements in a YIG bulk crystal. We first classify the phonon modes based on their symmetry. We then develop a modified mean-field theory and define a symmetry-adapted parameter to quantify spin-phonon interaction in a phonon-mode specific way for the first time in YIG. Based on this improved mean-field theory, we discover a positive correlation between the spin-phonon interaction strength and the phonon frequency.
This paper presents the results of measurements of fluorescing cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystals after being irradiated by an accelerated electron beam with energy of around 4 MeV. The measurements were performed using the PHIL linear acc elerator at LAL (France). We observe linear dependence of the crystal emission to the electron beam charge and the isotropy of the photon emission. We provide the calibration coefficients of the photon emission depending on the charge of the accelerated electron beam for two crystals originating from two different manufacturers.
The nuclear and magnetic structure and full magnon dispersions of yttrium iron garnet Y$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ have been studied by neutron scattering. The refined nuclear structure is distorted to a trigonal space group of $Rbar{3}$. The highest-energy d ispersion extends up to 86 meV. The observed dispersions are reproduced by a simple model with three nearest-neighbor-exchange integrals between 16$a$ (octahedral) and 24$d$ (tetrahedral) sites, $J_{aa}$, $J_{ad}$, and $J_{dd}$, which are estimated to be 0.00$pm$0.05, $-$2.90$pm$0.07, and $-$0.35$pm$0.08 meV, respectively. The lowest-energy dispersion below 14 meV exhibits a quadratic dispersion as expected from ferromagnetic magnons. The imaginary part of $q$-integrated dynamical spin susceptibility $chi$($E$) exhibits a square-root energy-dependence in the low energies. The magnon density of state is estimated from the $chi$($E$) obtained on an absolute scale. The value is consistent with a single polarization mode for the magnon branch expected theoretically.
The magnetostatic mode (MSM) spectrum of a 300$mu$m diameter single crystalline sphere of yttrium iron garnet is investigated using broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). The individual MSMs are identified via their characteristic dispersion relati ons and the corresponding mode number tuples $(nmr)$ are assigned. Taking FMR data over a broad frequency and magnetic field range allows to analyze both the Gilbert damping parameter~$alpha$ and the inhomogeneous line broadening contribution to the total linewidth of the MSMs separately. The linewidth analysis shows that all MSMs share the same Gilbert damping parameter $alpha=2.7(5) times 10^{-5}$ irrespective of their mode index. In contrast, the inhomogeneous line broadening shows a pronounced mode dependence. This observation is modeled in terms of two-magnon scattering processes of the MSMs into the spin-wave manifold, mediated by surface and volume defects.
