We report electrical resistance measurements under hydrostatic (up to 0.9 GPa) and quasi-hydrostatic pressure (beyond 1 GPa) in the ferromagnetic (FM) CePd2Al2Ga Kondo-lattice compound. From the analysis of the electrical resistance data we obtained the ma ...
The emerging field of spintronics explores the many possibilities offered by the prospect of using the spin of the electrons for fast, nanosized electronic devices. The effect of magnetization acting on a current is the essence of giant or tunnel magnetore ...
We demonstrate that the giant spin contrast observed by scanning tunneling microscopy for double-layer Coislands on Pt(111) is caused by adsorbates at the apex of the Cr-coated W tip. The most likely candidate, in ab initio simulations, is hydrogen. Here, ...
The spin transfer torque model applied in the context of a Fokker-Planck analysis (Li and Zhang 2004 Phys. Rev. B 69 134416) is shown to account for a complete set of statistical data for switching times obtained with pseudo spin-valves (Fabian et al 2003 ...
The spin-dependent transport in multiwall carbon nanotubes, obtained by chemical vapour deposition in porous alumina membranes, has been investigated. The zero-bias anomaly is shown to follow the typical power law GT(-alpha) (eV/kT). In the nanotubes conta ...
The mixed effects of heat and charge transports have been studied at room temperature for NiCu and CoCu multilayers with currents perpendicular to the interfaces as well as Ni and Co homogeneous nanowires. In order to carry out this analysis, magnetothermo ...
The aim of this thesis work was to obtain a deeper understanding of spin-dependent transport by the study of mixed effects of heat and charge currents in magnetic nanostructures. Indeed, even thermodynamics establish a relationship between both currents, n ...
Semiconductor-metal hybrid structures can show a large magnetoresistance effect, the extraordinary magnetoresistance (EMR) effect. In this work, we study theoretically the influence of the voltage probe configuration on the magnetoresistance of such hybrid ...
Tailored nonmagnetic semiconductor-metal hybrid structures exhibit a large magnetoresistance effect in a homogeneous magnetic field. This is the so-called extraordinary magnetoresistance effect. Here, we study numerically the magnetoresistance of such hybr ...
We employ variable-temperature spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy in constant current mode to read the magnetic state of monodomain cobalt nanoparticles on Pt(111). In order to avoid stray fields we use in situ prepared antiferromagnetically (Cr) ...
