Laser-driven platform for generation and characterization of strong quasi-static magnetic fields
Quasi-static magnetic-fields up to 800 T are generated in the interaction of intense laser pulses (500 J, 1 ns, ) with capacitor-coil targets of different materials. The reproducible magnetic-field peak and rise-time, consistent with the laser pulse duration, were accurately inferred from measurements with GHz-bandwidth inductor pickup coils (B-dot probes). Results from Faraday rotation of polarized optical laser light and deflectometry of energetic proton beams are consistent with the B-dot probe measurements at the early stages of the target charging, up to ns, and then are disturbed by radiation and plasma effects. The field has a dipole-like distribution over a characteristic volume of 1 mm3, which is consistent with theoretical expectations. These results demonstrate a very efficient conversion of the laser energy into magnetic fields, thus establishing a robust laser-driven platform for reproducible, well characterized, generation of quasi-static magnetic fields at the kT-level, as well as for magnetization and accurate probing of high-energy-density samples driven by secondary powerful laser or particle beams.

New Class of Complex Models of Materials with Piezoelectric Properties with Differential Constitutive Relations of Fractional Order: An Overview
Rheological complex models of various elastoviscous and viscoelastic fractional-type substances with polarized piezoelectric properties are of interest due to the widespread use of viscoelastic–plastic bodies under loading. The word “overview” used in the title means and corresponds to the content of the manuscript and aims to emphasize that it presents an overview of a new class of complex rheological models of the fractional type of ideal elastoviscous, as well as viscoelastic, materials with piezoelectric properties. Two new elementary rheological elements were introduced: a rheological basic Newton’s element of ideal fluid fractional type and a basic Faraday element of ideal elastic material with the property of polarization under mechanical loading and piezoelectric properties. By incorporating these newly introduced rheological elements into classical complex rheological models, a new class of complex rheological models of materials with piezoelectric properties described by differential fractional-order constitutive relations was obtained. A set of seven new complex rheological models of materials are presented with appropriate structural formulas. Differential constitutive relations of the fractional order, which contain differential operators of the fractional order, are composed. The seven new complex models describe the properties of ideal new materials, which can be elastoviscous solids or viscoelastic fluids. The purpose of the work is to make a theoretical contribution by introducing, designing, and presenting a new class of rheological complex models with appropriate differential constitutive relations of the fractional order. These theoretical results can be the basis for further scientific and applied research. It is especially important to point out the possibility that these models containing a Faraday element can be used to collect electrical energy for various purposes.

Inverse Faraday effect driven by radiation friction
A collective, macroscopic signature to detect radiation friction in laser-plasma experiments is proposed. In the interaction of superintense circularly polarized laser pulses with high density targets, the effective dissipation due to radiative losses allows the absorption of electromagnetic angular momentum, which in turn leads to the generation of a quasistatic axial magnetic field. This peculiar 'inverse Faraday effect' is investigated by analytical modeling and three-dimensional simulations, showing that multi-gigagauss magnetic fields may be generated at laser intensities > 10 23 W cm − 2 .

Light-induced magnetism in plasmonic gold nanoparticles
Strategies for the ultrafast optical control of magnetism have been a topic of intense research for several decades because of the potential impact in technologies such as magnetic memory1, spintronics2 and quantum computation, as well as the opportunities for nonlinear optical control and modulation3 in applications such as optical isolation and non-reciprocity4. Here we report experimental quantification of optically induced magnetization in plasmonic gold nanoparticles due to the inverse Faraday effect. The induced magnetic moment is large under typical ultrafast pulse excitation (<1014 W m−2 peak intensity), with magnetization and demagnetization kinetics that are instantaneous within the subpicosecond time resolution of our study. Our results support a mechanism of coherent transfer of angular momentum from the optical field to the electron gas, and open the door to all-optical subwavelength strategies for optical isolation that do not require externally applied magnetic fields.Optically induced magnetization is experimentally demonstrated using gold nanoparticles. The inverse-Faraday-effect-enabled magnetization may lead to new types of compact optical isolator.
