Large single crystals of the new magnetic solid RbNa3Fe7(PO4)6 can be grown in a salt flux. Below the ferro-to-antiferromagnetic transition temp. of 6 K, the field (H) dependence of the magnetization (M) of an oriented crystal of exhibits equally spaced st ...
We study from first principles the magnetism in graphene induced by single carbon atom defects. For two types of defects considered in our study, the hydrogen chemisorption defect and the vacancy defect, the magnetism due to the defect-induced extended sta ...
We present a microscopic theory for the phonon-driven decay of the magnetization fluctuations in a wide class of nanomagnets where the dominant energy is set by isotropic exchange and/or uniaxial anisotropy. Based on the Zwanzig-Mori projection formalism, ...
We present studies on the low-temperature magnetization of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in the integer quantum Hall-effect regime. The 2DES was formed in a modulation-doped AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction. Using molecular-beam epitaxy it has been in ...
We present a thorough Se-77 nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) study of a single crystal of the magnetoelectric compound Cu2OSeO3. The temperature dependence of the local electronic moments extracted from the NMR data is fully consistent with a magnetic phas ...
We develop a plane-wave pseudopotential scheme for noncollinear magnetic structures, based on a generalized local spin-density theory in which the direction of the magnetization is a continuous variable of position. We allow the atomic and magnetic structu ...
We report on a high-sensitive SQUID-susceptometer for magnetization studies on two-dimensional electron systems (2DES). It consists of a low-noise thin-film dc SQUID and a wire-wound first-order gradiometer and is operated inside a superconducting 10 T-mag ...
A surface magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) setup fully integrated in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber is presented. The system has been designed to combine in situ MOKE and scanning tunneling microscopy. Magnetic fields up to 0.3 T can be applied at any angle i ...
Detection of the second harmonic response of magnetic nanostructures to an ac current is shown to be a very sensitive probe of the magnetization reversal process. A temperature oscillation is obtained by Joule heating instead of using a laser as the heat s ...
The magnetic and magnetoresonance properties of a new single-crystal compound Ni-5(TeO3)(4)Cl-2 are studied. Measurements of the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility of the crystal in a wide temperature range (5-300 K) make it possible to conclude tha ...
