Several geometries have recently been proposed for spin-transfer oscillators, with the purpose of optimizing the output power and the frequency dependence on the applied current, as well as minimizing the external magnetic field required to stabilize magne ...

Devices have been fabricated based on the bilayer manganite La1.4Sr1.6Mn2O7, which in the bulk state orders magnetically below 90 K, at which point both in-plane and c-axis bulk resistivity decrease by 2-3 orders of magnitude. We provide an optimized proce ...
This thesis consists of a theoretical analysis of charged domain walls in ferroelectrics based on Landau theory and the theory of semiconductors. First, the internal structure of a 180-degree charged domain wall is considered. It is shown that different re ...
We investigated the effect of external field on magneto-transport properties of synthetic antiferromagnet dual spin-valve with nanoconstriction with focus on domain wall (DW) configuration and magnetization reversal process. As magnetic field rotated from ...
We report on the synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic characterisation of the trinuclear, fluoride-bridged, molecular nanomagnet [Dy(hfac)(3)(H2O)-CrF2(py)(4)-Dy(hfac)(3)(NO3)] (1) (hfacH = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetone, py = pyridine) and a clo ...
The olivine compound Mn2GeO4 is shown to feature both a ferroelectric polarization and a ferromagnetic magnetization that are directly coupled and point along the same direction. We show that a spin spiral generates ferroelectricity, and a canted commensur ...
Large bipolar strain of up to 0.36% (peak-to-peak value) was measured in BiFeO3 ceramics at low frequency (0.1 Hz) and large amplitude (140 kV/cm) of the driving field. This strain is comparable to that achievable in highly efficient morphotropic phase bou ...
Magnetic dynamics of a bulk ferromagnet, a new single crystalline compound Co-7(TeO3)(4)Br-6, was studied by ac susceptibility and related techniques. Very large Arrhenius activation energy of 17.2 meV (201 K) and long attempt time (2 x 10(-4) s) span the ...
We elucidate the mechanism of a newly observed photovoltaic effect which occurs in ferroelectrics with periodic domain structures. Under sufficiently strong illumination, domain walls function as nanoscale generators of the photovoltaic current. The steps ...
A detailed zero-and transverse-field muon spin rotation investigation of magnetism and the magnetoelectric coupling in Cu2OSeO3 is reported. An internal magnetic field B-int(T = 0) = 85.37(25) mT was found, in agreement with a ferrimagnetic state below T-c ...
