A surface acoustic wave (SAW) launched in a two‐dimensional periodic array of magnetostrctive nanomagnets on a piezoelectric substrate excites spin waves in the nanomagnets which radiate electromagnetic waves in space. The polarization of the emitted beam in particular directions and at particular frequencies can be switched between horizontal and ...

Strong and Weak Coupling Nanophysics with Free Electron Beams
This paper focuses on a short review of the study of the coupling between optical excitations at the nanometer scale, made possible by recent advances in free electron beam spectroscopies. In particular, plasmon–plasmon, plasmon–exciton, and plasmon–phonon couplings are reviewed. Abstract The work of Luis M.

Numerical and Experimental Methods for Estimating the Propagation Loss in Microphotonic Waveguides
Finite‐element finite‐difference time domain, eigenmode‐expansion, and volume‐current simulations are benchmarked against cut‐back, ring‐resonator, and OFDR measurements to quantify waveguide propagation loss in integrated photonic circuits. Scattering, absorption, leakage, and back‐reflection contributions are dissected; error sources are ranked; and ...

VO2 Nanocomposite Thin Films Integrated on Glass Substrates for Tunable Properties
This work explores tuning the metal‐to‐insulator transition and optical properties through a novel multifaceted approach using both defect engineering and energy band restructuring. VO2‐Au nanocomposite and VO2 thin films are grown on glass with ZnO buffers using pulsed laser deposition.
