Making a case for femto-phono-magnetism with FePt.

ABSTRACT: In the field of femtomagnetism, magnetic matter is controlled by ultrafast laser pulses; here, we show that coupling phonon excitations of the nuclei to spin and charge leads to femto-phono-magnetism, a powerful route to control magnetic order at ultrafast times. With state-of-the-art theoretical simulations of coupled spin, charge, and lattice dynamics, we identify strong nonadiabatic spin-phonon coupled modes that dominate early time spin dynamics. Activating these phonon modes that we show leads to an additional (up to 40% extra) loss of moment in iron-platinum occurring within 40 femtoseconds of the pump laser pulse. Underpinning this enhanced ultrafast loss of spin moment, we identify a physical mechanism in which minority spin current drives an enhanced intersite minority charge transfer, in turn promoting increased on-site spin flips. Our finding demonstrates that the nuclear system, often assumed to play the role of an energy and angular momentum sink, when selectively preexcited, can play a profound role in controlling femtosecond spin dynamics in materials.

Project description:BackgroundIn this study, we aimed to report the short-term (6 months) effects on visual functionality and safety of femto-laser assisted smaller-incision new-generation implantable miniature telescope (SING-IMT™) implanting, particularly related to postsurgical intraocular pressure increase, in patients suffering from end-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataract. This device, designed for monocular use, aims to minimise the impact of the central scotoma by projecting the images onto a larger area of the photoreceptors surrounding the macula.MethodsIn this prospective multicentric observational case series study, 6 eyes of 6 patients who underwent SING-IMT™ implantations were enrolled. At baseline and 6 months follow-up, best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDV) and best corrected near visual acuity (BCNVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), anterior chamber depth, endothelial cells count were assessed. In addition, IOP was also measured at 7, 15, 30, 45 days, and at 3 months follow-up. Finally, the incidence of complications was evaluated.ResultsAt final follow-up, in the study eyes, mean BCDVA improved by +10.0 letters (6.25; 13.8) letters and mean BCNVA improved by -0.30 logMAR (-0.55; -0.20). At postoperative month 6, we reported a mean IOP decrease of 4.50 mmHg (-5.75; -0.25). Interestingly, 83.3% of patients had an increased IOP value in at least one of the first two postoperative follow-ups (7 days and 15 days). In patients in whom intraoperative mechanical iridotomy was not performed, it was necessary to perform a postoperative YAG laser iridotomy to improve IOP management. Compared to the baseline, ECD loss at 6 months follow-up was 12.6%.ConclusionsThe SING IMT™ device was found to be effective in the distance and near vision improvement, without serious postoperative complications. We recommend intraoperative mechanical iridectomy in order to easily manage post-operative IOP and to avoid sudden IOP rise with its possible consequences. These good results can be a hope to partially improve the quality of life of patients suffering from severe end stage macular atrophy.
