Periodic nanopatterning of metallic ferromagnets allows one to create devices with artificially tailored band structures for spin waves. We discuss our recent experiments performed on two-dimensional periodic lattices of nanoholes created in thin Ni80Fe20 ...
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism provides evidence of an out-of-plane spin moment in undoped and doped cuprates. In La2CuO4 this moment is related to the canting of the antiferromagnetically ordered Cu2+ spins caused by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interacti ...
Novel magnetic materials are constantly emerging. This thesis reports an Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) study on three novel materials of great scientific interest: monoclinic SeCuO3 compound representing a network of tetramers, large assembly of ultrathin ...
We use ab initio computations to investigate the effect of filler ions on the properties of CoSb3 skutterudites. We analyze global and local structural effects of filling, using the Ba-filled system as an example. We show that the deformation of Sb network ...
We present an experimental study of the two-dimensional S=1/2 square-lattice antiferromagnet Cu(pz)(2)(ClO4)(2) (pz denotes pyrazine-C4H4N2) using specific-heat measurements, neutron diffraction, and cold-neutron spectroscopy. The magnetic field dependence ...
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 report neutron inelastic scattering measurements on the normal and superconducting states of single-crystalline Cs0.8Fe1.9Se2. Consistent with previous measurements on RbxFe2−ySe2, we observe two distinct spin excitation signals: (i) spin-wave excitatio ...
Magnetism is largely responsible for the body centered cubic to face centered cubic structural phase transition occurring in iron at 1185 K and to many anomalies in the vicinity of the ferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase transition at 1043 K, as for instan ...
We analyze the magnetic behavior of well-characterized, precipitate-free Ga1-xMnxN thin films containing Mn at higher levels than previously attained; up to x=0.36. This level is above the percolation threshold x(c) for nearest-neighbor cations, such that ...
We perform ab-initio computations to investigate the family of CoSb(3) skutterudites in an attempt to develop deeper understanding of the effect of fillers. Primary focus is on Ba-filled CoSb(3) Systems. while Ca and Sr-filled systems are also compared for ...
