We report on a first-principles investigation of the electronic structure and of the magnetic properties of the quasi-two-dimensional Mott insulator SrCu2(BO3)(2). Based on the hopping integrals and Coulomb interactions calculated with local-density approx ...
Bulk magnetism in solids is fundamentally quantum mechanical in nature. Yet in many situations, including our everyday encounters with magnetic materials, quantum effects are masked, and it often suffices to think of magnetism in terms of the interaction b ...
This paper assesses the reliability of the infinite cylinder model used previously in the literature to simulate blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal changes. A three-dimensional finite element method was applied to a realistic model of the cort ...
Scanning probe microscopy has become, nowadays, a branch of microscopy widely used to image surfaces of different specimens. Among the various applications, the magnetic imaging is one of the most exciting scanning probe microscopy techniques. It allows th ...
Using an atomic force microscope and a surface force apparatus, we measured the surface coverage, adhesion, and mechanical properties of layers of osteopontin (OPN), a phosphoprotein of the human bones, adsorbed on mica. OPN is believed to connect minerali ...
This thesis presents the development of a scattering scanning near-field microscope (s-SNOM) and investigations on the photoluminescence study of solid C60. The first part concerns setting up of such a scattering SNOM where a tuning fork with an attached A ...
A semi-empirical potential for ferromagnetic bcc iron that also models the co-linear magnetic moment of each atom, has been applied to clusters and surfaces. Surface energies of low index facets, surface relaxation and magnetic moment are calculated and co ...
In this thesis, ultra-thin dielectric layers on metal substrates are studied mainly by scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy. In chapter 2, field emission resonances, i.e. bound states in the potential well between sample and ti ...
The operation of the scanning near-field optical microscope based on the double-resonant montage of a fiber probe onto the tuning fork (working frequency of the latter, that is 32 kHz, coincides with the second resonance frequency of the bending oscillatio ...

We report the fabrication and characterization of nickel Hail sensors integrated on SU-8 cantilevers. Sensors having active area down to 1x1 mu m(2) show a magnetic field resolution better than 1 mu T/Hz(1/2) in the thermal noise frequency range. The fabri ...
