Topological spin-hedgehog crystals of a chiral magnet as engineered with magnetic anisotropy

We report the engineering of spin-hedgehog crystals in thin films of the chiral magnet MnGe by tailoring the magnetic anisotropy. As evidenced by neutron scattering on films with different thicknesses and by varying a magnetic field, we can realize continu ...

4 f occupancy and magnetism of rare-earth atoms adsorbed on metal substrates

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Christian Wäckerlin, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Pietro Gambardella, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Romana Baltic, Sebastian Stepanow

We report x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements as well as multiplet calculations for Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm atoms adsorbed on Pt(111), Cu(111), Ag(100), and Ag(111). In the gas phase, all four elements are divalent a ...

Anomalous Nernst effect in Ir22Mn78/Co20Fe60B20/MgO layers with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Sa Tu, Junfeng Hu, Jianyu Zhang, Yao Zhang, Xiangrong Wang

The anomalous Nernst effect in a perpendicularly magnetized Ir22Mn78/Co20Fe60B20/MgO thin film is measured using well-defined in-plane temperature gradients. The anomalous Nernst coefficient reaches 1.8 mu V/K at room temperature, which is almost 50 times ...

Uniaxial 2D Superlattice of Fe-4 Molecular Magnets on Graphene

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Luca Gragnaniello, Fabian Paschke

We demonstrate that electrospray deposition enables the fabrication of highly periodic self-assembled arrays of Fe4H single molecule magnets on graphene/Ir(111). The energetic positions of molecular states are probed by means of scanning tunneling spectros ...

Emergent magnetic anisotropy in the cubic heavy-fermion metal CeIn3

Philip Johannes Walter Moll

Metals containing cerium exhibit a diverse range of fascinating phenomena including heavy fermion behavior, quantum criticality, and novel states of matter such as unconventional superconductivity. The cubic system CeIn3 has attracted significant attention ...

Potential energy-driven spin manipulation via a controllable hydrogen ligand

Klaus Kern, Markus Ternes

Spin-bearing molecules can be stabilized on surfaces and in junctions with desirable properties, such as a net spin that can be adjusted by external stimuli. Using scanning probes, initial and final spin states can be deduced from topographic or spectrosco ...

Strongly gapped spin-wave excitation in the insulating phase of NaOsO3

NaOsO3 hosts a rare manifestation of a metal-insulator transition driven by magnetic correlations, placing the magnetic exchange interactions in a central role. We use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering to directly probe these magnetic exchange interactio ...

J1-J2 square lattice antiferromagnetism in the orbitally quenched insulator MoOPO4

László Forró, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Oleg Yazyev, Ivica Zivkovic, Helmuth Berger, Bálint Náfrádi, Lin Yang, Peter Babkevich, Noore Elahi Shaik

We report magnetic and thermodynamic properties of a 4d1 (Mo5+) magnetic insulator MoOPO4 single crystal, which realizes a J1−J2 Heisenberg spin-1/2 model on a stacked square lattice. The specific-heat measurements show a magnetic transition at 16 K which ...

Tunable Short-Wavelength Spin-Wave Emission and Confinement in Anisotropy-Modulated Multiferroic Heterostructures

Dirk Grundler

We report on the generation and confinement of short-wavelength spin waves in a continuous film with periodically modulated magnetic anisotropy. The concept, which is demonstrated for strain-coupled Co40Fe40B20/BaTiO3 heterostructures, relies on abrupt rot ...
