Occurrence of Ionospheric Equatorial Ionization Anomaly at 840 km Height Observed by the DMSP Satellites at Solar Maximum Dusk by Jiacheng Li, Yiding Chen, Libo Liu, Huijun Le, Ruilong Zhang, He Huang, Wenbo Li

“…In this study, we used measurements of the DMSP F12‐F15 satellites at ∼840 km altitude to examine EIA occurrence rate (EOR) in the dusk sector during solar maximum years 2000–2002 by checking latitudinal profiles of the ion density orbit by orbit. The EIA can still be observed at DMSP heights, and the EOR can reach 30% at specific longitudes at dusk side in equinox seasons. …”

Electric-field manipulation of magnetization in an insulating dilute ferromagnet through piezoelectromagnetic coupling by Dariusz Sztenkiel, Katarzyna Gas, Nevill Gonzalez Szwacki, Marek Foltyn, Cezary Śliwa, Tomasz Wojciechowski, Jarosław Z. Domagala, Detlef Hommel, Maciej Sawicki, Tomasz Dietl

“…Employing a macroscopic spin model and atomistic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert theory with Langevin dynamics, we demonstrate that the magnetoelectric response results from the inverse piezoelectric effect that changes the trigonal single-ion magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Second, in the metastable regime of ferromagnetic hystereses, the magnetoelectric effect becomes non-linear and irreversible in response to a time-dependent electric field, which can reorient the magnetization direction. …”
