The perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) arising at the interface between ferromagnetic transition metals and metallic oxides are investigated via first-principles calculations. In this work very large values of PMA up to 3 erg/cm$^2$ at…
A first principles study is conducted to explore the changes in the magnetic structure of Mn\textsubscript{3}GaN under anisotropic biaxial strain. Mn\textsubscript{3}GaN is an antiperovskite with a structure similar to that of an ideal…
Controlling the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy is of practical interest to a wide variety of applications. We study Co$_{40}$Fe$_{40}$B$_{20}$ single films grown on various crystalline orientations of LiNbO$_3$ substrates and on oxidized…
Solid state wafers are indispensable components in material science as substrates for epitaxial homo- or hetero-structures or carriers for two-dimensional materials. However, a reliable determination of magnetic properties of nanomaterials…
We have investigated STM images of the (110) cross-sectional surface of Mn-doped GaAs using first principles total-energy pseudopotential calculations. We focus on configurations with Mn interstitial in the uppermost surface layers. In…
We have used polarized neutron reflectometry to study the structural and magnetic properties of the individual layers in a series of (Al,Be,Ga)As/(Ga,Mn)As/GaAs/(Ga,Mn)As multilayer samples. Structurally, we observe that the samples are…
We measure the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) with the current both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of the magnetization in the ferromagnetic (FM) layers and thus probe the anisotropy of the effective mean free paths for the…
We prepared Ga0.95Mn0.05As films on top of periodic arrays of InAs quantum dots. X-ray diffraction reveals periodically strained films, commensurate to substrate's patterning. The dots produce a tensile strain in GaMnAs while between the…
The local density of states of Mn-Mn pairs in GaAs is mapped with cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy and compared with theoretical calculations based on envelope-function and tight-binding models. These measurements and…
Structural investigation of as-grown as well as annealed Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As epilayers was carried out using high resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements for a wide range of Mn concentrations (0.027<=x<=0.083), with special attention on…
Magnetization and muon spin relaxation on MgB2 were measured as a function of field at 2 K. Both indicate an inverse-squared penetration depth strongly decreasing with increasing field H below about 1 T. Magnetization also suggests the…
Phosphorous alloying of GaMnAs thin films has been used for the manipulation of the magnetic anisotropies in ferromagnetic Ga0.93Mn0.07As1-yPy layers. We have determined the anisotropy constants as a function of temperature for phosphorous…
Anisotropy, thermal and quantum fluctuations and their dependence on dopant concentration appear to be present in all cuprate superconductors, interwoven with the microscopic mechanisms responsible for superconductivity. Here we review…
Magnetoresistance data taken along $[\bar{2}33]$ and $[01\bar{1}]$ directions in a GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional hole sample with van der Pauw geometry exhibit significant anisotropy at half-integer filling factors. The anisotropy appears to…
The minimum energy paths for the migration of interstitial Mg in wurtzite GaN are studied through density functional calculations. The study also comprises Li, Na, and Be dopants to examine the dependence on size and charge of the dopant…
Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of the new ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ba,K)(Zn,Mn)$_{2}$As$_{2}$ is studied by angle-dependent x-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements. The large magnetic anisotropy with the anisotropy field of…
We demonstrate directional dependence of the self-modification of internal mesospin textures in magnetic metamaterials, arising from the coupling of the atomic- and mesoscopic length-scales. Dressing the mesospins in different directions…

The high-pressure behavior of two Mn-based honeycomb-structured magnetoelectric materials, Mn4Nb2O9 (MNO) and Mn4Ta2O9 (MTO), was investigated using Raman spectroscopy, synchrotron x-ray diffraction, and density functional theory (DFT)…
Using an advanced tight-binding approach, we estimate the anisotropy of the tunnel transmission associated with the rotation of the 5/2 spin of a single Mn atom forming an acceptor state in GaAs and located near an AlGaAs tunnel barrier.…
