The spin transfer torque model applied in the context of a Fokker-Planck analysis (Li and Zhang 2004 Phys. Rev. B 69 134416) is shown to account for a complete set of statistical data for switching times obtained with pseudo spin-valves (Fabian et al 2003 ...
The performance of commonly used pseudopotentials for calcns. of nucleus-independent chem. shifts (NICS) at the center of coinage-metal rings (M4Li2 (D4h), M = Cu, Ag, Au) was studied. The scalar relativity, which has a nonnegligible effect on NICS, is acc ...
LaCoO3 displays two broad anomalies in the DC magnetic susceptibility chi(DC), occurring, respectively, around 50 K and 500 K. We have investigated the first of them within the 10 K < T < RT temperature range using Co K alpha(1) x-ray absorption spectrosco ...
This thesis reports on the design and construction of a novel experimental setup for the study of surface magnetic systems. This setup consists of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) designed for ultra high vacuum (UHV) operating at T ≲ 1 K and str ...
High-Q silicon membranes have been fabricated as resonator elements for excitation by magnetic direct generation of acoustic waves. Operating in the thickness shear mode, these inexpensive sensor elements are remotely excited by a planar spiral coil, drive ...
We performed an ab initio mol. dynamics simulation of the paramagnetic transition metal ion Cr3+ in aq. soln. Isotropic hyperfine coupling consts. between the electron spin of the chromium ion and nuclear spins of all water mols. have been detd. for instan ...
Periodic arrays of elongated cobalt islands exchange coupled to continuous Permalloy thin films were fabricated using silicon nitride stencil masks and the magnetic spin configurations during magnetization reversal were studied with photoemission electron ...
This thesis reports measurements at the single atom scale by using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). Different sample systems where analyzed with normal conducting and superconducting tips. Chapter 2 presents the t ...
We have fabricated curved-line ferromagnetic nanostructures on membranes for transmission electron microscopy investigations of the equilibrium magnetic spin configurations. The magnetic elements were fabricated using electron-beam lithography and a lift-o ...
We report new results on the electron spin resonance of single walled carbon nanotubes, peapods and double walled carbon nanotubes. A small ESR line is present in well purified samples and its temperature dependence reveals a striking 'super-Curie' paramag ...
