One of this is the optical configuration that is used for the measurements. We are further exploring this aspect by developing novel experimental testbeds to study the spectral output of the recorded irradiance signals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Studying Effects of External Variables<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are various other factors that affect spectral response of samples &#8211; some drastically and other so as much. These includes studying the effect of temperature, particle concentration, particle type, applied magnetic field amplitude and frequency as well as the amplitude of the input optical signal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Developing Theoretical Models<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another direction which our work is geared towards is the development of mathematical models to better predict the non-linear magnetization effects that manifest as a non-linear Faraday rotation in magneto-optic nanoparticles. This is key to understanding the harmonic decomposition of the received signal with a photodetector as these nonlinearities embed into these optical irradiance measurements. The work focuses on identifying the reasons for the appearance of harmonic peaks from basic measurement configuration geometries to non-linear magnetization effects which may arise to nanoparticle interactions and the morphology of their possible aggregations.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Publications<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Our collaboration has resulted in some exciting preliminary results which have been shared with the scientific community in the form of following papers\/presentations in some of the top journals and conferences.<\/p>\n<p>[a] Syed, S.
