• Abstract summary: We theoretically study quantum size effects in the magnetic response of a spherical metallic nanoparticles. We compute the induced magnetic moment and the magnetic susceptibility for a nanoparticles in the presence of a static external magnetic field. We propose two methods for experimental detection of the quantum size effects based on the coupling to superconducting quantum interference devices.

• Abstract: We theoretically study quantum size effects in the magnetic response of a spherical metallic nanoparticle (e.g. gold). Using the Jellium model in spherical coordinates, we compute the induced magnetic moment and the magnetic susceptibility for a nanoparticle in the presence of a static external magnetic field. Below a critical magnetic field the magnetic response is diamagnetic, whereas above such field the magnetization is characterized by sharp, step-like increases of several tenths of Bohr magnetons, associated with the Zeeman crossing of energy levels above and below the Fermi sea. We quantify the robustness of these regimes against thermal excitations and finite linewidth of the electronic levels. Finally, we propose two methods for experimental detection of the quantum size effects based on the coupling to superconducting quantum interference devices.

  We show that the intrinsic properties of the piezomagnetic medium enable the quantized surface acoustic wave (SAW) to directly interact with magnetic moments of quantum systems via magnetic field induced by piezoelectric effect. Our study provides a convenient way to directly control magnetic quantum systems by quantized SAW, and offers potential applications to on-chip information processing based on solid-state quantum systems via quantized acoustic wave.

  We develop an in-situ magnetic detection technique at megabar pressures with high sensitivity and sub-microscale spatial resolution. We observe the macroscopic magnetic transition of Fe3O4 in the megabar pressure range from strong ferromagnetism (alpha-Fe3O4) to weak ferromagnetism (beta-Fe3O4) and finally to non-magnetism (gamma-Fe3O4) The presented method can potentially investigate the spin-orbital coupling and magnetism-superconductivity competition in magnetic systems.

  We analyse the effect of a strong perpendicular magnetic field on an intersubband transition in a disordered doped quantum well strongly coupled to an optical cavity. The magnetic field changes the lineshape of the intersubband optical transition due to the roughness of the interface of the quantum well from a Lorentzian to a Gaussian one.

  cavity photons and ferromagnetic spins excitations can exchange information coherently in hybrid architectures.

We show that the geometry of the ferromagnet plays also an important role, by setting the fundamental frequency of the magnonic resonator.
