This study evaluated MRI safety parameters for three commercial veterinary RFID microchips at 1 T, assessing movement forces, heating, artifacts, and device function. Translation and torque were reported to be larger than expected from normal activity, but no significant heating was observed and microchip function…

This theoretical study models electron spin resonance and spin/charge pumping in zigzag graphene nanoribbons driven by a transverse rotating magnetic field without applied bias. It reports that pumped spin current density increases with ribbon size and rotating-field intensity, and that even-chain ribbons can also…

This engineering study describes a focused-ion-beam-assisted technique for fabricating reduced-size NdFeB nanomagnets and integrating them onto a thin-film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR). After bonding the magnet, the FBAR showed a downshift in resonance frequency and a reduced quality factor. The magnetic behavior…

This paper reports analytical theory on how a small solenoidal magnetic field affects an ion-beam pulse propagating through background plasma. The authors predict enhanced self-electric and self-magnetic fields under a resonance-like condition (omegace ≈ omegape beta_b) attributed to a dynamo effect. The combined…
