A workshop organized by Gunilla Svensson, SU, and Felix Pithan, Alfred Wegener Institute, Germany, was held at MISU 6-9 November 2017. The theme of the workshop was how to improve the understanding of air mass transformations in the Arctic by observational and...
The DAPI molecule is a popular fluorescent stain for DNA visualization and quantitation, and is extensively used for studying the cellular nuclei under different environments and stresses. A recent report reveals that DAPI can be effectively used for constructing DNA...
An extended atomistic spin model allowing for studies of the finite-temperature magnetic properties of alloys is proposed. The model is obtained by extending the Heisenberg Hamiltonian via a parametrization from a first-principles basis, interpolating from both the...
Effective engineering of materials defects and defect properties on the atomic scale is crucial for creating materials for applications in nanotechnology, i.e., ultra-miniaturization of sensors, storage, processing, and communication. Silicon carbide (SiC) is a large...
We show that energy barriers and critical fields of skyrmion collapse as well as skyrmion lifetimes are drastically enhanced due to frustrated exchange and that antiskyrmions are metastable. Skyrmions are localized, topologically non-trivial spin structures which have...
