We extracted for the MIR range the dielectric function (DF) of Co20Fe60B20, that is lacking in literature, from a multisample analysis. From the optical modeling of the heterostructures we detected and determined the dielectric tensor properties of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) forming at the NM and the CoFeB interface.

In the current study, the simulations of magnetic properties of isolated iron nanowires with a diameter of 5 nm and various aspect ratios, as well as two types of arrays of such nanowires (with hexagonal and square arrangement), were performed using atomistic spin model. In the case of a single nanowire, change of coercive field for different applied field directions with aspect ratio was discussed. It was shown that the evolution of the magnetization reversal mechanism from coherent rotation to domain wall propagation appears with increasing length of single nanowire. For the arrays of cylindrical nanostructures, it was revealed that different number of nearest neighbors for each nanostructure in square and hexagonal arrays have an influence on their magnetostatic interactions, which are the most significant for shortest interwire distances. The corresponding spin configurations during the remagnetization process showed the appearance of intermediate magnetization states (when a part of wires is magnetized parallel and part antiparallel to the field direction), connected with Barkhausen effect, which influence the observed hysteresis curves. |

We found that coupling two optomechanical cavities via Coulomb force leads to cross-Kerr interactions between those cavities. We show that such systems may be ideal for a protocol of quantum non-demolition measurement because it is easy to eliminate the self-phase modulation effect. Moreover, nonlinearities in our model are based on easily adjustable parameters, and therefore, given recent experimental studies, we believe that experimental realization of a cross-Kerr interaction via Coulomb force coupling is feasible.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } We present a new model of two electrically coupled optomechanical cavities. This model is based on the recently presented proposal [Physical Review A 103 (2021) 043509]. We found that coupling two optomechanical cavities via Coulomb force leads to cross-Kerr interactions between those cavities. We show that such systems may be ideal for a protocol of quantum non-demolition measurement because it is easy to eliminate the self-phase modulation effect. Moreover, nonlinearities in our model are based on easily adjustable parameters, and therefore, given recent experimental studies, we believe that experimental realization of a cross-Kerr interaction via Coulomb force coupling is feasible. |
