Hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) is an antiferromagnetic material with a very low spin damping and high Neel temperature. The temperature dependence of the antiferromagnetic resonance in a bulk single crystal of hematite was characterized from room temperature up to ...
This Thesis is mainly devoted to the exploration of the structural disorder and magnetic order in two-dimensional crystals by means of first-principles methodologies.Firstly, we present a comparative study of defect formation in the semiconducting 2H and ...
This thesis is devoted to the investigation of static and dynamic properties of
two different sets of quantum magnets with neutron scattering techniques and
the help of linear spin wave theory.
Both systems are copper-based with spin-1/2, which makes them ...
Magnons (spin waves, SWs) are elementary spin excitations in magnetically ordered materials. They are the promising quanta for the transmission and processing of information. Magnons can be coupled to the electromagnetic waves utilized for the wireless com ...
The study of magnetic frustration has been interesting due to the variety of magnetic ordering observed at low temperatures. At these temperatures thermal fluctuations become redundant and quantum fluctuations play a significant role in the determining the ...
We investigate systematically the spin-Nernst effect in Neel and zigzag ordered honeycomb antiferromagnets. Monolayers of transition-metal trichalcogenides, MnPSe3, MnPS3, and VPS3 show an antiferromagnetic Neel order while CrSiTe3, NiPS3, and NiPSe3 show ...
We use neutron scattering to show that ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism coexist in the low T state of the pyrochlore quantum magnet Yb2Ti2O7. While magnetic Bragg peaks evidence long-range static ferromagnetic order, inelastic scattering shows that sh ...
In matter, any spontaneous symmetry breaking induces a phase transition characterized by an order parameter, such as the magnetization vector in ferromagnets, or a macroscopic many electron wave function in superconductors. Phase transitions with unknown o ...
Atomically thin films of layered chromium triiodide (CrI3) have recently been regarded as suitable candidates for a wide spectrum of technologically relevant applications, mainly owing to the opportunities they offer for achieving a reversible transition b ...
We present a comprehensive study of a model system of repulsive self-propelled disks in two dimensions with ferromagnetic and nematic velocity alignment interactions. We characterize the phase behavior of the system as a function of the alignment and self- ...
