Direction-division multiplexed holographic free-electron-driven light sources by Clarke, Brendan P., MacDonald, Kevin F., Zheludev, Nikolay I.

“…The direction-division multiplexed source is tested by driving it with the 30 kV electron beam of a scanning electron microscope: light emission, at a wavelength of 800 nm in the present case, is switched among different output angles by micron-scale repositioning of the electron injection point among domains. …”

Exchange coupling and coercivity enhancement in cuprate/manganite bilayers by Wu, Tom, Ding, J. F., Tian, Y. F., Hu, W. J., Lin, W. N.

“…Furthermore, the bilayer exhibits significant enhancement of coercivity compared to the La0.70Sr0.30MnO3 single layer and reaches 705 Oe at 5 K. The dependence of coercivity on the AFM layer thickness indicates that the enhancement cannot be explained by the interfacial charge diffusion. …”

The philosophers versus the sponge: feeling early modern by Ibbett, K

Hawking radiation of extended objects by Johnson, G, March-Russell, J

“…We compute the effects on the temperature and precise spectrum of Hawking radiation from a Schwarzschild black hole when the emitted object is taken to be spatially extended. We find that in the low-momentum regime, the power emitted is exponentially suppressed for sufficiently large radiated objects, or sufficiently small black holes, though the temperature of emission is unchanged. …”
