• Abstract: We calculate repulsive Casimir forces between metallic and magnetic plates and quantitatively probe the magnetic plate's properties as tuning knobs for the repulsion. Namely, the plate's thickness and its low-frequency permittivity and permeability. For a thin magnetic plate ($\leq 10\,\text{nm}$), we find that repulsion can exist as long as $\mu(0) \geq \epsilon(0)$. We also explore the effect of temperature on the repulsion and transition distance between attractive and repulsive interactions. We show how the parameters can be tuned to allow repulsion at sub-micron separation regimes, making it potentially accessible to known high-resolution measurement techniques using magnetic van der Waals materials.

  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 investigate the resonance energy transfer rate between two quantum emitters near a suspended graphene sheet in vacuum. Due to the extraordinary magneto-optical response of graphene, it allows for an active control and tunability of the RET. Our results suggest that magneto-optical media may take the manipulation of energy transfer between quantum emitters to a whole new level.

  Electrical control of spins at the nanoscale offers architectural advantages in spintronics. Recent demonstrations of electric-field (E-field) sensitivities in molecular spin materials are tantalising. E-field sensitivities reported so far are rather weak, prompting the question of how to design molecules with stronger spin-electric couplings.
