Magnetic Bloch Oscillations in 1D ferromagnets

Domain-walls in certain 1D ferromagnets can oscillate when exposed to a static magnetic field. Such magnetic Bloch oscillations have however not been observed experimentally to date. We have calculated neutron scattering signatures of magnetic Bloch oscillations for the material ${\rm{CoCl}_2\cdot 2\rm{H}_2\rm{O}}$, and investigated numerically the possibility of using a laser to generate such oscillations at low temperatures. Our results are positive, and may be used to assist the experimental search for magnetic Bloch oscillations.
