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 performed an ab initio mol. dynamics simulation of the paramagnetic transition metal ion Cr3+ in aq. soln. Isotropic hyperfine coupling consts. between the electron spin of the chromium ion and nuclear spins of all water mols. have been detd. for instan ...
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 ...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers an amazing number of ways to probe the human body. It is a wonderful symbiosis of engineering, science and medicine. The power of MRI is its ability to probe a variety of physical mechanisms that can then not only re ...
Anewmicrosystem with the ability to detect magnetic microstructures based on the non-invasive Hall principle is presented. The micro-Hall plate embedded in the microsystem and scaled down to the physical limits of the employedCMOStechnology has an active a ...
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) ...
In this thesis, the magnetic and structural properties of layered epitaxial film systems and clusters are presented. A main achievement is the investigation of the direct correlation between magnetism and structural or morphological details of ultrathin fi ...
For further miniaturization of magnetic data storage devices, instruments for exploring magnetic nanostructures are needed. Hall sensors provide a non invasive technique for quantitative magnetic field detection. In contrast to the highly sensitive semicon ...
Due to their high and variable coordination numbers leading to poorly predictable threedimensional coordination spheres, the trivalent lanthanide metal ions are challenging molecular objects for introduction into thermotropic liquid crystals. Conversely, t ...
This thesis reports on the design and construction of a novel experimental setup for the study of surface magnetic systems. This setup consists of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) designed for ultra high vacuum (UHV) operating at T ≲ 1 K and str ...
