Abstract We study the effect of strain on the magnetic properties and magnetization configurations in nanogranular FexGe films ( ) with and without B20 FeGe nanocrystals surrounded by an amorphous structure. Relaxed films on amorphous silicon nitride membranes reveal a disordered skyrmion phase while films near and on top of a rigid substrate favor ferromagnetism and an anisotropic hybridization of Fedlevels and spin-polarized Gespband states. The weakly coupled topological states emerge at room temperature and become more abundant at cryogenic temperatures without showing indications of pinning at defects or confinement to individual grains. These results demonstrate the possibility to control magnetic exchange and topological magnetism by strain and inform magnetoelasticity-mediated voltage control of topological phases in amorphous quantum materials.more » « less

Abstract We study the influence of defects in Co/Pt multilayers on the room-temperature magnetization reversal and relaxation mechanisms via angle-dependent magnetic viscosity and coercive field measurements. The data reveal a transition from pinning-dominated domain wall propagation to a sequence of pinning-dominated and uniform switching, with increasing tilt away from the normal direction. The leading role of the dendritic domain wall propagation in the nanogranular exchange-coupled films is corroborated by the scaling of relaxation times, the angular dependence of the coercive field, and Kerr microscopy.more » « less

Abstract Metal-organic decomposition epitaxy is an economical wet-chemical approach suitable to synthesize high-quality low-spin-damping films for resonator and oscillator applications. This work reports the temperature dependence of ferromagnetic resonances and associated structural and magnetic quantities of yttrium iron garnet nanofilms that coincide with single-crystal values. Despite imperfections originating from wet-chemical deposition and spin coating, the quality factor for out-of-plane and in-plane resonances approaches 600 and 1000, respectively, at room temperature and 40 GHz. These values increase with temperature and are 100 times larger than those offered by commercial devices based on complementary metal-oxide semiconductor voltage-controlled oscillators at comparable production costs.more » « less

Counting multi-vehicle motions via traffic cameras in urban areas is crucial for smart cities. Even though several frameworks have been proposed in this task, there is no prior work focusing on the highly common, dense and size-variant vehicles such as motorcycles. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for vehicle motion counting with adaptive label-independent tracking and counting modules that processes 12 frames per second. Our framework adapts hyperparameters for multi-vehicle tracking and properly works in complex traffic conditions, especially invariant to camera perspectives. We achieved the competitive results in terms of root-mean-square error and runtime performance.more » « less
