Skyrmions, monopoles and emergent electromagnetic fields in chiral magnets
More information Time 11:15 - 12:30Location Edna and K.B. Weissman Building of Physical SciencesOrganizer Faculty of PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about In chiral magnets lattices of topologically quantized magnet...» In chiral magnets lattices of topologically quantized magnetic whirls, so-called skyrmions, form due to the interplay of spin-orbit interactions and thermal fluctuations.
Skyrmions couple extremely efficiently to electric currents by Berry phases described by emergent electrodynamic fields. Due to this coupling skyrmions can be controlled by tiny currents. We investigate how the topology of skyrmion phase can be changed by singular magnetic defects which can be identified as emergent magnetic monopoles.

University of California, Berkeley, USAOrganizer Weizmann School of ScienceContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Abstract: Solar cell science and technology is changing. ...» Abstract:
Solar cell science and technology is changing. New efficiency records have been set. Alta Devices has reached 28.8% efficiency in a thin film single-junction cell at 1-sun, and 30.8% efficiency in a thin-film dual junction cell at 1-sun.
Counter-intuitively, efficient external fluorescence is a necessity for approaching the ultimate limits. A great Solar Cell also needs to be a great Light Emitting Diode. Why would a solar cell, intended to absorb light, benefit from emitting light? Although it is tempting to equate light emission with loss, paradoxically, light emission actually improves the open-circuit voltage, and the efficiency.
The single-crystal thin film technology that achieved these high efficiencies, is created by epitaxial liftoff, and can be produced at cost well below the other less efficient thin film solar technologies. The path is now open to a 30% efficient photovoltaic technology that can be produced at low cost.
