We present an exact treatment of layered many-body electronic systems in the presence of interlayer coupling within the Schwinger functional derivative approach on the Keldysh contour. Our transparent approach allows us to clarify the…
These are notes for a very rapid introduction to the basics of exterior differential systems and their connection with what is now known as Lie theory, together with some typical and not-so-typical applications to illustrate their use.
The European School of High-Energy Physics is intended to give young physicists an introduction to the theoretical aspects of recent advances in elementary particle physics. These proceedings contain lecture notes on quantum field theory,…
We build a microscopic model to study the intra- and inter-layer superexchange due to electrons hopping in chromium trihalides ($\mathrm{CrX}_3$, X= Cl, Br, and I). In evaluating the superexchange, we identify the relevant intermediate…

We investigate a novel type of interlayer exchange coupling based on driving a strong/weak/strong ferromagnetic tri-layer through the Curie point of the weakly ferromagnetic spacer, with the exchange coupling between the strongly…
It is shown how the exchange coupling between two ferromagnetic planes embedded in an infinite non-magnetic metal, regarded as a function of the distance between the planes, may contain important components which oscillate with periods not…
The interlayer exchange coupling in Fe/MgO(001) superlattices is found to increase exponentially with decreasing temperature. Around 150~K, the field induced response changes from discrete switching, governed by field-driven domain…
The interlayer exchange coupling mediated by the valence band electrons in $\textrm{(MnTe)}_{\textrm{m}} \textrm{(ZnTe)}_{\textrm{n}}$ superlattices has been examined theoretically. The calculations have been performed within the framework…

We investigate the interlayer coupling between two thin ferromagnetic (F) films mediated by an antiferromagnetic (AF) spacer in F*/AF/F trilayers and show how it transitions between different regimes on changing the AF thickness. Employing…
We investigate the origin of the long period oscillation of the interlayer exchange coupling in Fe/Cr trilayer systems. Within the stationary phase approximation the periods of the oscillations are associated with extremal vectors of the…
