We present an ab initio study of the (001) interfaces between two insulating perovskites, the polar LaAlO3 and the nonpolar SrTiO3. We observe an insulating-to-metallic transition above a critical LaAlO3 thickness. We explain that the high…

Three types of metallic nanostructures comprising niobium were investigated experimentally; in all three types, electric transport at very low temperatures was governed by Coulomb blockade effects. 1. Thin film strips of niobium could be…

Several M3 TeO6 (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu) oxides order antiferromagnetically at low temperatures (near or below 60 K), while displaying interesting dielectric properties at high temperatures (ferroelectricity below 1000 K in M = Ni case). We…

Heteroepitaxial growth of transition-metal oxide films on the open (111) surface of SrTiO3 results in significant restructuring due to the polar mismatch. Monitoring the structural and composition on an atomic scale of LaNiO3/SrTiO3 (111)…

We report the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ vs. thickness $d_F$ of Ferromagnet/Superconductor (F/S) bilayers, where F is a strong $3d$ ferromagnet (Ni, Ni$_{0.81}$Fe$_{0.19}$ (Permalloy), Co$_{0.5}$Fe$_{0.5}$) and S = Nb,…

The exchange interactions of Cr4N, Mn4N, Fe4N, Co4N, and Ni4N compounds with perovskite structure were calculated to obtain the Curie temperatures for these compounds from Monte Carlo calculations. Contrary to naive expectation, the…

CoFe2O4/Co-Fe magnetic composites are usually prepared through partial reduction of CoFe2O4, which often yields monoxides (i.e., FeO, CoO) as secondary phases. Since these compounds are paramagnetic at ambient conditions, the presence of a…

Magnetization reversal of soft ferromagnetic Fe layer, coupled to [Co/Pt]ML multilayer [ML] with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), has been studied in-situ with an aim to understand the origin of exchange bias (EB) in orthogonal…

Co$_2$C nanoparticles (NPs) are amongst transition metal carbides whose magnetic properties have not been well explored. A recent study by Nirmal Roy et al. [1] showed that a collection of Co$_2$C NPs exhibit an exchange bias (EB) effect…

Tricobalt tetraoxide (Co3O4) is an important catalyst and Co3O4(110) is a frequently exposed surface in Co3O4 nanomaterials. We employed Density-functional theory with on-site Coulomb repulsion U term to study the atomic structures,…

The magnetic properties of a series of YBa2Cu3O7-x/La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 (YBCO/LC1/3MO) superlattices grown by dc sputtering at high oxygen pressures (3.5 mbar) show the expected ferromagnetic behaviour. However, field cooled hysteresis loops at…

We fabricated NiFe2O thin films on MgAl2O4 (001) substrates by reactive dc magnetron co-sputtering in a pure oxygen atmosphere at different substrate temperatures. The film properties were investigated by various techniques with a focus on…

The compound alpha-Fe1.4Ga0.6O3 has been prepared by mechanical alloying of alpha-Fe2O3 and Ga2O3 and subsequent heating of the mechanical alloyed samples in vacuum condition. Magnetic ordering of alpha-Fe2O3 has been modified by…

We report on the effect of Ni substitution at the Co site on the physical properties of NaxCoO2 system by investigating the series NaxCo1-yNiyO2 (x=0.75, 0<y<0.15). An upturn in the resistivity is observed in all Ni substituted samples as…

We report on the observation of non-metallic electrical conduction, resistive switching, and a negative temperature coefficient of resistance in cluster-assembled nanostructured gold films above the electrical percolation and in…

Amorphous ferrimagnetic TbFeCo thin films are found to exhibit exchange bias effect near the compensation temperature by magnetic hysteresis loop measurement. The observed exchange anisotropy is believed to originate from the exchange…

Variable temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy studies on (110) oriented epitaxial thin films of La$_{0.350}$Pr$_{0.275}$Ca$_{0.375}$MnO$_3$ are reported in the temperature range of 77 to 340 K. The films, grown on lattice…

An ab initio study of magnetic exchange interactions in antiferromagnetic and strongly correlated 3d transition metal monoxides is presented. Their electronic structure is calculated using the local self-interaction correction approach,…

The magnetization reversal in stripe-like exchange bias patterned $\rm Ni_{81}Fe_{19}/IrMn$ thin films was investigated by complementary inductive and high resolution magneto optical magnetometry, magneto optical Kerr microscopy, and…

Magnetic topological materials with coexisting magnetism and non-trivial band structures exhibit many novel quantum phenomena, including the quantum anomalous Hall effect, the axion insulator state, and the Weyl semimetal phase. As a…
