We report magnetic studies on gelatin coated NiO nanoparticles of average size 7 nm. Temperature and time dependence of dc magnetization, wait time dependence of magnetic relaxation (aging), memory effects in the dc magnetization and…
MnN is a centrosymmetric collinear antiferromagnet belonging to the transition metal nitride family with a high Neel temperature, a low anisotropy field, and a large magnetic moment per Mn atom. Despite several recent experimental and…
Owing to their high magnon frequencies, antiferromagnets are key materials for future high-speed spintronics. Picosecond switching of antiferromagnetic order has been viewed a milestone for decades and pursued only by using ultrafast…
The ability to probe symmetry breaking transitions on their natural time scales is one of the key challenges in nonequilibrium physics. Stripe ordering represents an intriguing type of broken symmetry, where complex interactions result in…
This thesis deals with the Hubbard model as prototypical model to describe the physics of electrons in the two-dimensional copper-oxide planes of high-$T_c$ cuprates. To get approximate solutions, we employ functional renormalization group…
In this work, we study magnetization switching induced by spin-orbit torque in W(Pt)/Co/NiO heterostructures with variable thickness of heavy-metal layers W and Pt, perpendicularly magnetized Co layer and an antiferromagnetic NiO layer.…
We investigate ultrafast demagnetization due to electron-phonon interaction in a model band-ferromagnet. We show that the microscopic mechanism behind the spin dynamics due to electron-phonon interaction is the interplay of scattering and…
We report the Ni-doping effect on magnetism and superconductivity (SC) in an Eu-containing 112-type system Eu(Fe$_{1-x}$Ni$_{x})$As$_{2}$ ($0\leq x\leq 0.15$) by the measurements of resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat. The undoped…
Proximity effects allow for the adjustment of magnetic properties in a physically elegant way. If two thin ferromagnetic (FM) films are brought into contact, electronic coupling alters their magnetic exchange interaction at their interface.…
We study the magnetic and electronic properties of Ni-intercalated NbSe$_2$.We calculate the magnetic exchanges of Ni$_x$NbSe$_2$ ($x = 1/3, 1/4,$ and $1$) and find that the out-of-plane magnetic coupling depends on the Ni connectivity: it…
NiNb$_{2}$O$_{6}$ is an almost ideal realization of a 1D spin-1 ferromagnetic Heisenberg chain compound with weak unidirectional anisotropy. Using time-domain THz spectroscopy, we measure the low-energy electrodynamic response of…
Type-II multiferroics, where spin order induces ferroelectricity, exhibit strong magnetoelectric coupling. However, for the typical 2D type-II multiferroic NiI$_2$, the underlying magnetoelectric mechanism remains unclear. Here, applying…
Optical heterodyne detection is a powerful technique for characterizing a wide range of physical excitations. Here, we use two types of optical heterodyne detection techniques (fundamental and parametric pumping) to microscopically…
We demonstrate that light resonant with the bandgap forces the antiferromagnetic semiconducor EuSe to enter ferromagnetic alignment in the picosecond time scale. A photon generates an electron-hole pair, whose electron forms a supergiant…
In the field of femtomagnetism magnetic matter is controlled by ultrafast laser pulses; here we show that coupling phonon excitations of the nuclei to spin and charge leads to femto-phono-magnetism, a powerful route to control magnetic…
The complex magnetic structures, spin-reorientation and associated exchange interactions have been investigate in Er$_{0.5}$Dy$_{0.5}$FeO$_3$ using bulk magnetization, neutron diffraction, specific heat measurements and density functional…
Nonlinear optics, and particularly second harmonic generation (SHG), is increasingly used in many modern disciplines from material characterization in physical sciences to bio-imaging in medicine and optical signal processing in information…
Magnetic phenomena are ubiquitous in our surroundings and indispensable for modern science and technology, but it is notoriously difficult to change the magnetic order of a material in a rapid way. However, if a thin nickel film is…
Despite the recent discovery of superconductivity in Nd$_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$NiO$_2$ thin films, the absence of superconductivity and antiferromagnetism in their bulk materials remain a puzzle. Here we report the $^{1}$H NMR measurements on…
Light-induced magnetization changes, such as all-optical switching, skyrmion nucleation, and intersite spin transfer, unfold on temporal and spatial scales down to femtoseconds and nanometers, respectively. Pump-probe spectroscopy and…
