This physics study uses analytical calculations and Monte Carlo simulations to determine ground-state structures of monodisperse ferrofluid monolayers under external magnetic fields. It reports structural transitions depending on whether the field is perpendicular or parallel to the monolayer plane, with different…

This paper addresses heat dissipation mechanisms of magnetic nanoparticles used in targeted hyperthermia under large alternating magnetic fields. Using numerical comparisons, it reports additional features in relaxation loss for rotatable superparamagnetic nanoparticles and field-induced formation of oriented…

This paper reports a MAXWELL 3D simulation study of electric field distribution in a tissue/tumor model relevant to electrical-pulse-mediated drug delivery. The authors report lower electric field strength in tumor tissue compared with normal cells. They interpret this as potentially increasing tumor susceptibility…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low-frequency magnetic fields affect chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells in pellet culture. Cells exposed for 3 weeks to a homogeneous sinusoidal 5 mT magnetic field showed increased collagen type II expression (significant at passage 6) and…

This modeling study applies uniform electric fields parallel and normal to 180° ferroelectric domain walls in PbTiO3 and computes equilibrium structures using anharmonic lattice statics. The authors report that electric fields can substantially increase domain wall thickness and identify a critical field Ec above…

This condensed-matter physics study examined how high magnetic fields and pressure affect magnetization, transport, and thermodynamic properties of the intermediate-valence compound YbPd. The authors report that the Yb valence state and two first-order transitions are stable up to 55 T, while increasing pressure…

This paper presents a mesoscopic transport modeling framework (NEGF plus a real-space π-orbital model) to study how a uniform perpendicular magnetic field affects electronic transport in armchair graphene nanoribbons. The authors report width-dependent equilibrium current profiles and edge-localized transport under…

This neutron diffraction study quantifies how tetragonal structural domains in SrTiO3 redistribute below 105 K under external electric fields and uniaxial mechanical stress. The authors report that electric field and stress act competitively, and that applying both produces complex domain redistribution. The results…

This experimental study examined nucleation of superconductivity at the surface of a single-crystal yttrium hexaboride (YB6) in a tilted dc magnetic field. The authors measured Hc3 on each side of the sample as a function of the angle between the field and the surface. They report Hc3/Hc2 ≈ 1.28 for a perpendicular…

This study reports slow relaxation of magnetoresistance in selectively doped p-GaAs-AlGaAs structures following application of a magnetic field. The authors emphasize efforts to rule out temperature fluctuation artifacts and state that the main relaxation features remain. They interpret the phenomenon using a…

This laboratory study examined how temperature and prior electric-field exposure affect low-field conductivity in the charge density wave material o-TaS3. Conductivity differed between cooling and heating below the CDW transition, and applying increasing electric fields drove the system toward a stable,…

This monocentric study evaluated outpatient feasibility and outcomes of radiofrequency transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) for benign prostatic hyperplasia in patients who did not respond to medical therapy. In the outpatient subgroup, urinary symptom scores, quality of life, flow measures, and residual urine…

This study reports solid-state NMR (13C and 15N MAS) measurements on CuCN·N2H4 to extract copper quadrupole coupling constants and characterize cyanide ordering. Ab initio calculations were used to determine electric field gradient and chemical shielding tensor orientations needed for spectral analysis. The authors…

This Physical Review Letters paper reports magnetotransport measurements on a gated LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface to assess the main effect of an applied gate electric field. The authors find that mobility changes dominate over sheet carrier density changes (mobility variation reported as nearly fivefold larger). They also…

This computational study investigates magnetic linear response properties of achiral and chiral carbon nanotubes using first-principles electronic structure methods. It computes magnetic shielding inside and outside nanotubes due to electronic currents induced by external magnetic fields applied parallel or…
