This document summarizes research on magnetic vortices in nanoscale disk structures. It discusses the magnetic equilibrium configuration of vortices, which consists of an out-of-plane vortex core approximately 10nm in size surrounded by an in-plane curling magnetization field. Applying an in-plane magnetic field causes the vortex core to displace perpendicularly. The document also examines the low-frequency gyrotropic mode of the vortex core and hysteresis loops corresponding to single domain to vortex transitions in an array of permalloy disks under varying magnetic fields and temperatures.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

47. Magnetic Vortices
Magnetic vortices are bi-dimensional magnetic systems whose magnetic equilibrium
configuration is essentially non-uniform (the vortex state): the spin field splits into two
well-differentiated structures, 1) the vortex core consisting of a uniform out-of-plane
spin component whose spatial extension is ∼ 10nm and 2) the curling magnetization
field (in-plane spin component), characterized by a non-zero vorticity value.
We study disk-shaped magnetic vortices.
The application of an in-plane magnetic field yields
the displacement of the vortex core perpendicularly
to the field direction.
The vortex core entirely governs the low
frequency spin dynamics: applying a superposition
of a static magnetic field (∼ 100Oe) and an AC
magnetic field (∼ 10Oe), the vortex shows a
special vibrational mode (called ’slow
translational/gyrotropic mode’), consisting
of the displacement of the vortex core as a whole, following a precessional/
gyrotropic movement around the vortex centre. Its characteristic frequency belongs
to the subGHz range.

51. Magnetic Vortices
Conclusions
1) The existence of structural defects in the disks could be a
feasable origin of the energy barriers responsible for the magnetic
dynamics of the system. We consider that these defects are
capable of pinning the vortex core,when the applied magnetic is
swept, in an non-equilibrium position.
2) Thermal activation of energy barriers dies out in the limit T →
0. Our observation that magnetic viscosity S(T) tends to a finite
value different from zero as T → 0 indicates that relaxations are
non-thermal in this regime (underbarrier quantum tunneling).
52. Magnetic Vortices
Theoretical modeling
Rigid model of the shifted vortex ⇒ The vortex core is described as a
zero-dimensional object whose dynamics is ruled by Thiele’s equation.
The Langrangian is given by L = Gy·x − W(r), where r = (x, y) are the
coordinates of the vortex core in the XY plane, G is the modulus of its
gyrovector and W(r) is the total magnetic energy of the system.
We consider the vortex core as a flexible line that goes predominantly
along the z direction, so that r = r(z, t) is a field depending on the
vertical coordinate of the vortex core, z. The whole magnetic energy
(including the elastic and the pinning potential) is described via a
biparametric quartic potential given by
where μ and h are the magnetic moment of the dot, respectively the
modulus
of external magnetic field (applied in the y direction), λ is the elastic
coefficient and κ and β are the parameters of the potential energy.
53. Magnetic Vortices
In absence of applied magnetic field (h = 0), the obtained expressions for the
crossover temperature Tc and the depinning exponent Seff are
,
respectively, where c is a numerical factor of order unity. Experimentally we
have
and for a measurable tunneling rate Seff cannot exceed 25−30. From all these
we deduce the estimates and
Finally, from these values of the parameters of the pinning potential we can
estimate the width of the energy barrier, which is given by the expression
and the order of magnitude of the heigth of the barrier, which is
