Ni3TeO6-a collinear antiferromagnet with ferromagnetic honeycomb planes

Ivica Zivkovic, Helmuth Berger, Krunoslav Prsa

We report a comprehensive study of magnetic properties of Ni3TeO6. The system crystallizes in a noncentrosymmetric rhombohedral lattice, space group R3. There are three differently coordinated Ni atoms in the unit cell. Two of them form an almost planar ho ...

Study of Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors

Zlatko Mickovic

Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS), semiconductors in which a fraction of non-magnetic sites have been replaced with their magnetic counterparts, have been in the limelight of the scientific community since the turn of the 21st century. The interest in ...

Large polaron formation induced by Rashba spin-orbit coupling

Claudio Grimaldi

Here the electron-phonon Holstein model with Rashba spin-orbit interaction is studied for a two-dimensional square lattice in the adiabatic limit. It is demonstrated that a delocalized electron at zero spin-orbit coupling localizes into a large polaron sta ...

Low-temperature hopping and absence of spin-dependent transport in single crystals of cobalt-doped ZnO

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Simon Granville

Long needle-shaped single crystals of Zn1-xCoxO were grown at low temperatures using a molten salt solvent technique, up to x=0.10. The conduction process at low temperatures is determined to be Mott variable range hopping. Both pristine and cobalt-doped c ...

Spin Rings in Bistable Planar Semiconductor Microcavities

Romuald Houdré, Timothy Chi Hin Liew

A remarkable feature of exciton-polaritons is the strongly spin-dependent polariton-polariton interaction, which has been predicted to result in the formation of spin rings in real space [Shelykh et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 116401 (2008)]. Here we experi ...

Current-induced vortex dynamics and pinning potentials probed by homodyne detection

Using a homodyne detection scheme, we show that we can determine the polarity and chirality of a magnetic vortex in an asymmetric magnetic disk as well as the resonance frequency and phase shift of the dynamic vortex gyration excited by a spin-polarized cu ...

Current-induced domain wall motion in Co/Pt nanowires: Separating spin torque and Oersted-field effects

We report on low temperature current induced domain wall depinning experiments on (Co/Pt) multilayer nanowires with perpendicular magnetization. Using a special experimental scheme, we are able to extract the different contributions of the Oersted field an ...

Microwave spin-torque excitation in a template-synthesized nanomagnet

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Elena Murè

A microwave-compatible lithography-free process is shown to allow the electrical contact of a single nanometric spin valve grown by template synthesis. The complex spin dynamics of a single nanomagnet is revealed by resonant microwave current excitations, ...

Topological Frustration in Graphene Nanoflakes: Magnetic Order and Spin Logic Devices

Oleg Yazyev, Efthimios Kaxiras, Sheng Meng

Magnetic order in graphene-related structures can arise from size effects or from topological frustration. We introduce a rigorous classification scheme for the types of finite graphene structures (nanoflakes) which lead to large net spin or to antiferroma ...

Magnetoresistive junctions based on epitaxial graphene and hexagonal boron nitride

Alfredo Pasquarello, Oleg Yazyev

We propose monolayer epitaxial graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as ultimate thickness covalent spacers for magnetoresistive junctions. Using a first-principles approach, we investigate the structural, magnetic, and spin transport properties of s ...
