AbstractChiral solitons are one dimensional localized magnetic structures that are metastable in some ferromagnetic systems with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interactions and/or uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. Though topological textures in general provide a very interesting playground for new spintronics phenomena, how to properly create and control single chiral solitons is still unclear. We show here that chiral solitons in monoaxial helimagnets, characterized by a uniaxial Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction, can be stabilized with external magnetic fields. Once created, the soliton moves steadily in response to a polarized electric current, provided the induced spin-transfer torque has a dissipative (nonadiabatic) component. The structure of the soliton depends on the applied current density in such a way that steady motion exists only if the applied current density is lower than a critical value, beyond which the soliton is no longer stable.

STT (Spin Transfer Torque) can be referred to as a process of manipulation and control of spin current in the field of spintronics. When the material is ferromagnetic nanowire La0.7Sr0.3MnO3injected currents will move the domain wall with accompanying changes of spin currents. In mikromagnetik simulation shows that the application is capable of producing flow velocity or pressure of domain wall in the direction of electron flow. The domain wall pressure generating magnetization changes with increasing current density occurs. To that end, the simulation research was done in order to obtain the effect of the injection of electric current to the magnetization of the material. This phenomenon is simulated by modeling the material into the 3D geometry. The greater the current density is given the domain wall velocity or pressure on the nanowire faster so that the magnetization process is also faster. Changes in the velocity of the fastest domain wall is obtained when the material is injected with a current density as well as M-t get a graph showing oscillation pattern that is denser when the current is increased. Furthermore, the total energy analysis with variations in size diameter of 10 nm, 20 nm and 30 nm. The results show that with increasing diameter, total energy tends to increase. Keywords: spin transfer torque, La0.7Sr0.3MnO3, magnetisation, domain wall, ferromagnetic

This paper studies the degradation of methiocarb, a highly hazardous pesticide found in waters and wastewaters, through an electro-Fenton process, using a boron-doped diamond anode and a carbon felt cathode; and evaluates its potential to reduce toxicity towards the model organism Daphnia magna. The influence of applied current density and type and concentration of added iron source, Fe2(SO4)3·5H2O or FeCl3·6H2O, is assessed in the degradation experiments of methiocarb aqueous solutions. The experimental results show that electro-Fenton can be successfully used to degrade methiocarb and to reduce its high toxicity towards D. magna. Total methiocarb removal is achieved at the applied electric charge of 90 C, and a 450× reduction in the acute toxicity towards D. magna, on average, from approximately 900 toxic units to 2 toxic units, is observed at the end of the experiments. No significant differences are found between the two iron sources studied. At the lowest applied anodic current density, 12.5 A m−2, an increase in iron concentration led to lower methiocarb removal rates, but the opposite is found at the highest applied current densities. The highest organic carbon removal is obtained at the lowest applied current density and added iron concentration.

In this paper, spin-dependent multiple reflection effect on spin-transfer torque (STT) has been theoretically and numerically studied in a spin valve nanopillar with a single or dual spin-polarizer. By using a scattering matrix method, we formulate an analytical expression of STT that contains the multiple interfacial reflection effect. It is found that the multiple reflections could enhance the STT efficiency and reduce the critical switching current. The STT efficiency depends on the spin polarization of both the free layer and polarizer. In the nanopillars with a dual spin polarizer, the multiple reflections would cause an asymmetric frequency dependence on the applied current, albeit exactly the same parameters are used in all three ferromagnetic layers, indicating that the frequency in the negative current varies much faster than that in the positive case.

Electrochemical deposition of copper from copper chloride aqueous electrolyte on porous silicon (PS) substrate was investigated in the current density range of 5 mA/cm2to 35 mA/cm2. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to characterize the surface morphology of as-electrodeposited PS. SEM images illustrate that the applied current density has a profound influence on the shape of copper crystal electrodeposited on the top surface of PS films. When the applied current density was fixed at 5mA/cm2, most of the copper crystals are in the shape of cube along with a small number of cuboid-shape. With the increasing current density, cuboid-shaped copper crystals gradually vanished. When the current density is up to the 35mA/cm2, we surprisingly observe that the cube shape predominates simultaneously with the emergence of truncated tetrahedron. A tentative explanation for the growth mechanism of copper crystal having various shapes is explored.
