Disordered and amorphous materials often retain memories of perturbations they have experienced since preparation. Studying such memories is a gateway to understanding this challenging class of systems, yet it often requires the ability to…
I present a study of the influence of disorder in thin magnetic films on the switching behavior of small magnetic cells of well defined shape and size. The disorder considered arises from randomly oriented crystalline grains of different…
We present a semiclassical theory of weak disorder effects in small structures and apply it to the magnetic response of non-interacting electrons confined in integrable geometries. We discuss the various averaging procedures describing…
The performance characteristics of magnetic nanoparticles towards application, e.g. in medicine, imaging, or as sensors, is directly determined by their magnetization relaxation and total magnetic moment. In the commonly assumed picture,…

We investigate the magneto-conductance (MC) anisotropy in the variable range hopping regime, caused by quantum interference effects in three dimensions. When no spin-orbit scattering is included, there is an increase in the localization…
Strained Fe-Co films have recently been demonstrated to exhibit a large magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) and thus to be of potential interest as magnetic storage material. Here, we show by means of density-functional (DF) calculations,…
Critical properties of quantum spin chains with varying degrees of disorder are studied at zero temperature by analytical and extensive density matrix renormalization methods. Generally the phase diagram is found to contain three phases.…
We investigate the behavior of massless scalar, electromagnetic, and linearized gravitational perturbations near null infinity in d \geq 4 dimensional Minkowski spacetime (of both even and odd dimension) under the assumption that these…
Ordered mechanical systems typically have one or only a few stable rest configurations, and hence are not considered useful for encoding memory. Multistable and history-dependent responses usually emerge from quenched disorder, for example…
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) leading to dementia results in a constellation of psychiatric disorders including depression, mood disorders, schizophrenia and others. With increasing age, mild cognitive impairment leads to increased…
We systematically investigate the perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) in Co$-$Pt/Pd-based multilayers. Our magnetic measurement data shows that the asymmetric Co/Pd/Pt multilayer has a significantly larger perpendicular…
In continual learning, a system learns from non-stationary data streams or batches without catastrophic forgetting. While this problem has been heavily studied in supervised image classification and reinforcement learning, continual…
Explicit current-dependent expressions for anisotropic longitudinal and transverse nonlinear magnetoresistivities are represented and analyzed on the basis of a Fokker-Planck approach for two-dimensional single-vortex dynamics in a…
We propose a mechanism for negative isotropic magnetoresistance in the hopping regime. It results from a memory effect encrypted into spin correlations that are not taken into account by the conventional theory of hopping conductivity. The…
We study critical behaviour of disordered magnets near four dimensions. We consider the system with explicit cubic anisotropy and scalar disorder and that with random direction of anisotropy axis. The quenched disorder is taken into account…
Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) plays an important role in different spintronic devices. The rapid development of spintronics requires a better understanding of the nature and mechanisms of the PMA formation. In our article, we…

We study the effect of magnetic scattering on transport in a system with strong structural disorder, using exact finite size calculation of the low frequency optical conductivity. At weak electron-spin coupling spin disorder leads to a…
We use the replica variational method to study the effects of weak point disorder on the variance of the internal field distribution measured in NMR and muon-spin rotation experiments in type-II superconductors. We show that for a simple…
