Emergent vortices at a ferromagnetic superconducting oxide interface by Petrović, A P, Paré, A, Paudel, T R, Lee, K, Holmes, S, Barnes, C H W, David, A, Wu, T, Tsymbal, E Y, Panagopoulos, C

“…This hysteresis is argued to arise from vortex depinning within a thin (< 20 nm) superconducting layer, mediated by discrete ferromagnetic dipoles located solely above the layer. The pinning strength may be modified by varying the superconducting channel thickness via electric field-effect doping. …”

The theory of complex network sensing. by Wang, Yidan.

“…The objective of this project is to explore this interaction between internal dynamics and extrinsic information by simulating Ising spins on a scale-free network. As a first step to understand how complex networks sense and react to environmental signals, we studied how to achieve a global change of the system through the control of local nodes.…”
