In this thesis I study the synthesis and basic physical properties characterization on 3d, 4d and 5d transition metal compounds. Great success has been obtained in 3d transition metal compounds, in which the electric states are well localized due t ...
The simultaneous presence of an Fe-related spin-density wave and the antiferromagnetic order of Eu-2(+) moments ranks EuFe2As2 among the most interesting parent compounds of iron-based pnictide superconductors. Here we explore the consequences of the dilut ...
Double perovskite oxides A(2)BB'O-6 combining 3d and 4d or 5d transition metal ions at the B and B' sites feature a variety of magnetic and magneto-electric properties. Targeting Ba2FeOsO6, we synthesized powder samples of nonstoichiometric Ba2Fe1.12Os0.88 ...
This thesis presents combined experimental and theoretical investigations of nanoscale, surface-supported magnets based on rare earths (RE) to understand and control the magnetic properties down to the scale of single atoms. We present the effects of adato ...
Here we show that it is possible to produce different magnetic core multiple shell heterostructures from monodisperse Fe3O4 spherical magnetic seeds by finely controlling the amount of a manganese precursor and using, in a smart and simple way, a cation-ex ...
We show that the observed ferromagnetic behavior of ZnO lightly doped with Mn coincides with the presence of MnO nanoparticles, whereas cluster-free Mn doped ZnO behaves paramagnetically. This conclusion is reached by a study of the structural and magnetic ...
The present invention concerns a magnetic-photoconductive material including orientable magnetic moments or spins, the material being configured to generate photo-carriers permitting to orientate or re-orientate the magnetic moments or spins at a material ...
The anisotropic spin-flip-induced multiferroic property of the Kagome single-crystal Cu3Bi(SeO3)(2)O2Cl was recently investigated. The doping effects on the structural and magnetic properties of Cu3Bi(Se1-xTexO3)(2)O2Cl (0
Chiral magnets are promising materials for the realisation of high-density and low-power spintronic memory devices. For these future applications, a key requirement is the synthesis of appropriate materials in the form of thin films ordering well above roo ...
The efficiency and stability of RuO2 in electrocatalysis has made this material a subject of intense fundamental and industrial interest. The surface functionality is rooted in its electronic and magnetic properties, determined by a complex interplay of la ...
