Magnon-Assisted Magnetization Reversal of Ni81Fe19 Nanostripes on Y3Fe5O12 with Different Interfaces

Dirk Grundler, Andrea Mucchietto, Korbinian Baumgärtl

Magnetic bit writing by short-wave magnons without conversion to the electrical domain is expected to be a game-changer for in-memory computing architectures. Recently, the reversal of nanomagnets by propagating magnons was demonstrated. However, experimen ...

Valence Orbitals Driving the Spin Dynamics in a Rare-Earth Single-Atom Magnet

Harald Brune, François Patthey, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Dante Philippe Sblendorio, Alberto Curcella

We combine spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy with quantum master equation analysis to investigate the spin dynamics of the single atom magnet Dy on graphene/Ir(111). By performing reading and writing experiments, we show that the strongly spin p ...

Magnetic excitations in the topological semimetal YbMnSb2

Jian Rui Soh

We report neutron scattering measurements on YbMnSb2 which shed light on the nature of the magnetic moments and their interaction with Dirac fermions. Using half-polarized neutron diffraction we measured the field-induced magnetization distribution in the ...

Unveiling new quantum phases in the Shastry-Sutherland compound SrCu2(BO3)(2) up to the saturation magnetic field

Frédéric Mila

Under magnetic fields, quantum magnets often undergo exotic phase transitions with various kinds of order. The discovery of a sequence of fractional magnetization plateaus in the Shastry-Sutherland compound SrCu2(BO3)(2) has played a central role in the hi ...

A diamond spin qubit scanning probe microscope

Dinesh Kevin Mathais Pinto

The properties of a physical system only exist in relation to its environment. This thesis presents the development of a novel spin qubit scanning probe microscope operating over a wide range of environmental conditions. The qubit, which sits at the heart ...

Linear and nonlinear magnetization dynamics in permalloy thin films grown on DNA origami and nanopatterned permalloy/YIG hybrid structures

Andrea Mucchietto

Spin waves (SWs) are collective excitations of the spin ensemble in systems with magnetic order. In quantum mechanics, a SW is known as a magnon, which is the quasiparticle describing the quantized nature of these wave-like excitations. Magnonics is the re ...

Hybridization driving distortions and multiferroicity in rare-earth nickelates

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Michele Kotiuga, Luca Binci

For decades transition-metal oxides have generated a huge interest due to the multitude of physical phenomena they exhibit. In this class of materials, the rare-earth nickelates, RNiO3, stand out for their rich phase diagram stemming from complex couplings ...

Fermi energy determination for advanced smearing techniques

Nicola Marzari, Flaviano José Dos Santos

Smearing techniques are widely used in first-principles calculations of metallic and magnetic materials where they improve the accuracy of Brillouin-zone sampling and lessen the impact of level-crossing instabilities. Smearing introduces a fictitious elect ...
