Context: Observations indicate that the `quiet' solar photosphere outside active regions contains considerable amounts of magnetic energy and magnetic flux, with mixed polarity on small scales. The origin of this flux is unclear. Aims: We…
The substrate contribution to the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of supported nanostructures can be quantified by a site-selective manipulation of the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the effective exchange field B_ex. A systematic study of…
In this work we have employed density-functional theory with hybrid functionals to investigate the atomic and electronic structure of bare and hydrogenated Mn doped ZnO nanowires with small diameter. We determine changes in magnetic and…
We have performed a powder neutron diffraction study on CsO$_2$, where the unpaired electron with $s=1/2$ in the $\pi^*$ orbital of the O$_2^-$ ion is responsible for the magnetism. The magnetic reflections 0 $\frac{1}{2}$ 0 and 0…
We investigate effects of doping on formation energy and concentration of oxygen vacancies at a metal oxide surface, using MgO (100) as an example. Our approach employs density-functional theory, where the performance of the…
The creation of magnetism on non-magnetic semiconductor surfaces is of importance for the realization of spintronics devices. Especially, the coupling of electron spins within quantum nanostructures can be utilized for nanomagnetism…
We present ab initio calculations for single-atom vacancies in graphene. In agreement with earlier work, we find that vacancies are responsible for the magnetism recently observed experimentally, creating a center with net spin. For small…
Carbon is conventionally not associated with magnetism, and much of the discussion of its nanotechnology perspectives appears to be centered on its electron transport properties. Among the few existing examples of magnetic carbon…
We present a x-ray dichroism study of graphite surfaces that addresses the origin and magnitude of ferromagnetism in metal-free carbon. We find that, in addition to carbon $\pi$ states, also hydrogen-mediated electronic states exhibit a net…
The doping of charge carriers into the CuO2 planes of copper oxide Mott insulators causes a gradual destruction of antiferromagnetism and the emergence of high-temperature superconductivity. Optimal superconductivity is achieved at a doping…
We have performed polarized and unpolarized small angle neutron scattering experiments on single crystals of HoMnO3 and have found that an increase in magnetic scattering at low momentum transfers begins upon cooling through temperatures…
We present an {\it ab initio}-based theoretical framework which elucidates the origin of the spin-orbit torque (SOT) in Normal-Metal(NM)/Ferromagnet(FM) heterostructures. The SOT is decomposed into two contributions, namely, {\it spin-Hall}…
We show that an individual adatom on a magnetic surface can exhibit a noncollinear spin density. Using density functional theory we study Co and Ir adatoms on a Mn monolayer on the W(110) surface which possesses a noncollinear canted spin…
The magnetic stability of oxygen deficiency centers on the surface of {\alpha}-quartz is investigated with first- principles calculations to understand their role in contributing to magnetic flux noise in superconducting qubits (SQs) and…
We have studied the electronic structure and the magnetism of Cu-doped ZnO nanowires, which have been reported to show ferromagnetism at room temperature [G. Z. Xing ${et}$ ${al}$., Adv. Mater. {\bf 20}, 3521 (2008).], by x-ray…
We present a collection of experimental evidence on UFOs: Unidentified Ferromagnetic Organic structures. Five types of carbon magnets have been obtained experimentally: 1. Chains of interacting radicals 2. Carbonaceous substances with a…
We use neutron scattering to study the influence of a magnetic field on spin structures of Nd$_2$CuO$_4$. On cooling from room temperature, Nd$_2$CuO$_4$ goes through a series of antiferromagnetic (AF) phase transitions with different…
The recent observation of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates has brought intense debate on the established knowledge of unconventional superconductivity based on the cuprates. Despite many similarities, the nickelates differ…
Realistic oxide materials are often semiconductors, in particular at elevated temperatures, and their surfaces contain undercoordiated atoms at structural defects such as steps and corners. Using hybrid density-functional theory and ab…
Unexpected ferromagnetism has been observed in carbon doped ZnO films grown by pulsed laser deposition [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 127201 (2007)]. In this letter, we introduce carbon into ZnO films by ion implantation. Room temperature…
