Magnetic textures, such as skyrmions and domain walls, engender rich transport phenomena, including anomalous Hall effect and nonlinear response. In this work, we discuss an anomalous Hall effect proportional to the net magnetic monopole charge and dependent on the skyrmion helicity that occurs by a skew scattering in a noncentrosymmetric two-dimensional magnet. This mechanism, which arises from the spin–orbit interaction (SOI), gives rise to a finite anomalous Hall effect in a ferromagnetic domain wall whose spins rotate in the xy plane despite no out-of-plane magnetic moment. We show that the presence and absence of the monopole contribution is related to crystal symmetry, which gives a guideline for finding candidate materials beyond the Rashba model. The results demonstrate the rich features arising from the interplay of SOI and magnetic textures, and their potential for detecting various magnetic textures in micrometer devices.

In metals containing magnetic impurities, conduction electrons screen the magnetic impurities and induce the Kondo effect, i.e., the enhancement of the electrical resistance at low temperatures. Motivated by recent advances in manipulating quantum materials by cavity confinement, we study how the ultrastrong light-matter coupling can affect the Kondo effect. We show that the ultrastrong coupling can enhance the Kondo temperature and give rise to several notable phenomena, including universal scalings of the cavity-modified Kondo effect, the photon occupation number, and the entanglement entropy between the cavity and electrons. The origin of the cavity enhancement can be understood from the mass renormalization due to the cavity-mediated nonlocal electron-electron interaction, which is akin to the polaronic mass enhancement. We combine the unitary transformations and the Gaussian variational states to analyze the quantum impurity system confined in the cavity. Our nonperturbative framework can be applied to a variety of quantum impurity problems influenced by structured quantum electromagnetic environment.

Magnetic textures like skyrmions and domain walls coupled to itinerant electrons give rise to rich transport phenomena such as anomalous Hall effect and nonreciprocal current. An interesting case is when the transport coefficient is related to the global (or topological) property of the magnetic texture, e.g., skyrmion and domain wall numbers. Such phenomena are also interesting from applications, in which the transport phenomena are potential probes for electrically detecting magnetic textures in nano-scale devices. Here, we show that an anomalous Hall effect proportional to the net magnetic monopole charge occurs from skew scattering when the magnetic texture couples to itinerant electrons in a non-centrosymmetric system with spin-orbit interaction. This mechanism gives rise to a finite anomalous Hall effect in a ferromagnetic domain wall whose spins rotate in the $xy$ plane, despite no out-of-plane magnetic moment. We also discuss the relation between the magnetic texture contributing to the anomalous Hall effect and the crystal symmetry. The results demonstrate rich features arising from the interplay of spin-orbit interaction and magnetic textures and their potential for detecting various magnetic textures in nanoscale devices.

Particle behavior on flat plate in narrow flow channel was experimentally investigated. As the test particle, polystyrene particle, glass particle, TiO2 and SiO2 powder were used and compared differences in behaviors for each particle. Number density of particles was measured using the microscope camera. Relatively large particles were removed from the wall surface to upper layer of the flow by the effect of lift force. However, the small and high density particles such as the TiO2 powder, could not remove from the wall surface. In addition, the difference in particle velocity for each particle diameter in a steady flow was measured using polystyrene at near the wall surface and center of narrow flow channel. At near the wall surface, large particles trended to move faster than small particles. At center of narrow flow channel, particle velocity was constant regardless of particle diameter. At near the wall surface, large particles was affected by the velocity distribution by shear layer and move faster than small particles.
