Design and manipulation of magnetic moment arrays have been at the focus of studying the interesting cooperative physical phenomena in various magnetic systems. However, long-range ordered magnetic moments are rather difficult to achieve due to the excited states arising from the relatively weak exchange interactions between the localized moments. Here, using a nanostructured superconductor, we investigate a perfectly ordered magnetic dipole pattern with the magnetic poles having the same distribution as the magnetic charges in an artificial spin ice. The magnetic states can simply be switched on/off by applying a current flowing through nanopatterned area. Moreover, by coupling magnetic dipoles with the pinned vortex lattice, we are able to erase the positive/negative poles, resulting in a magnetic dipole pattern of only one polarity, analogous to the recently predicted vortex ice. These switchable and tunable magnetic dipole patterns open pathways for the study of exotic ordering phenomena in magnetic systems.

Observation of the second-harmonic generation (SHG) from subwavelength metallic structures is often hindered by the interrelations of higher-order multipolar contributions. In particular, the magnetic Lorentz contribution to SHG is often neglected due to the ineffective magnetic field enhancement in electrically resonant structures. Here, we demonstrate a strong Lorentz-driven SHG output at the plasmon-induced magnetic dipolar resonance in inversion-symmetry-broken plasmonic nanocavities.

Owing to their unique combination of magnetic and optical properties, luminescent polychlorinated radicals are promising candidates for advanced applications in both optoelectronics and quantum technologies. In this study, we employ the lineshape formalism within a computational protocol based on time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) to investigate the excited-state properties of six representative members of this family presenting different sizes and excited-state characters. We explore a wide range of density functionals, applying or not the Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA), combined with different vibronic models, namely, the vertical gradient (VG), vertical Hessian (VH), and adiabatic Hessian (AH), as well as dipole moment expansions using the Franck-Condon (FC) and Herzberg-Teller (HT) approximations.

Small molecules containing phenyl and aliphatic amine groups belonging to psychotropic drugs were studied by quantum chemical computational methods. Each of the 9 studied species (phenethylamine, amphetamine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, methamphetamine, MDMA, MDEA, MDA, MDAI) was considered in three oxidation states: neutral molecule, molecular cation, and molecular anion. Protonated residues from the hydrochloride forms were also considered.

Conventional Eu-activated phosphors often suffer from severe concentration quenching at high doping levels, significantly limiting their achievable brightness and efficiency. Furthermore, achieving both high color purity and strong emission intensity in the orange-red region remains challenging. In this context, we report the successful synthesis of Eu-activated BaLuBO phosphors via a multistep solid-state reaction under ambient conditions, exhibiting intense reddish-orange emission.

Omnidirectional magnetic field generators, or Omnimagnets, are electromagnetic devices used for non-contact manipulation tasks. Supplying current to an Omnimagnet generates a magnetic field and generates Joule heating, which can cause overheating. Omnimagnets are thermally limited.
