We show that the ferromagnetic anisotropy of a thin crystalline Fe3O4 film can be manipulated in situ via the application of tunable stress. The stress is exerted by a piezoelectric actuator, onto which the Fe3O4 film is cemented. The strain in the sample ...
Anisotropic magnetism of single crystal BaVSe3 was Studied for the first time by the combination of the susceptibility and torque methods. As reported previously for polycrystalline sample, BaVSe3 undergoes ferromagnetic ordering below 43 K. Well above fer ...
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 ...
The excitations responsible for producing high-temperature superconductivity in the copper oxides have yet to be identified. Two promising candidates are collective spin excitations and phonons(1). A recent argument against spin excitations is based on the ...
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 report a comprehensive study of transport, magnetotransport, and magnetic properties of single crystals of BaVSe3. The paramagnetic metal-ferromagnetic metal transition at 43 K was followed as a function of pressure by measuring the electrical resistivi ...
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, ...
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 ...
Properties of carrier-induced ferromagnetism in modulation-doped quantum wells of p-type (Cd,Mn)Te are assessed by photoluminescence (PL) and PL excitation spectroscopy. Well-chosen illumination makes it possible to deplete the quantum well and thus to con ...
Relaxation of the isothermoremanent magnetization M(IR) has been studed in ceramic Y-Ba-Cu-O. The value of the effective pinning energy U(eff) has been determined at different temperatures according the relationship dlnM(IR)/dlnt = - kT/U(eff). It was show ...
