We study the composition dependent evolution of geometric and magnetic structures of MnO clusters within density functional theory. A systematic and extensive search through the potential energy surface is performed to identify the correct…
Global minimum structures of neutral (Fe2O3)n clusters with n = 1-5 were determined employing the genetic algorithm in combination with ab initio parameterized interatomic potentials and subsequent refinement at the density functional…
How does magnetism behave when the physical dimension is reduced to the size of nanostructures? The multiplicity of magnetic states in these systems can be very rich, in that their properties depend on the atomic species, the cluster size,…
The magnetic structures of small clusters of Fe, Mn, and Cr supported on a Cu(111) surface have been studied with non-collinear first principles theory. Different geometries such as triangles, pyramids and wires are considered and the…
Nanomagnets form the building blocks for a gamut of miniaturized energy-efficient devices including data storage, memory, wave-based computing, sensors and biomedical devices. They also offer a span of exotic phenomena and stern challenges.…
The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of small ${\rm Fe}_m {\rm Rh}_n$ clusters having $N = m+n \leq 8$ atoms are studied in the framework of a generalized-gradient approximation to density-functional theory. The correlation…
The properties of neutral and anionic Pd_N clusters were investigated with spin-density-functional calculations. The ground state structures are three-dimensional for N>3 and they are magnetic with a spin-triplet for 2<=N<=7 and a spin…
Effects of alloying on the electronic and magnetic properties of Mn$_{x}$Co$_{y}$ ($x+y$=$n$=2-5; $x$=0-$n$) and Mn$_2$Co$_{11}$ nanoalloy clusters are investigated using the density functional theory (DFT). Unlike the bulk alloy, the…
We investigate the structural conditions for metamagnetism in MnP and related materials using Density Functional Theory. A magnetic stability plot is constructed taking into account the two shortest Mn-Mn distances. We find that a…

We report structure formation in submonolayers of magnetic microparticles subjected to periodic electrostatic and magnetic excitations. Depending on the excitation parameters, we observe the formation of a rich variety of structures:…
Magnetization dynamics in the system of magnetic nanoclusters with randomly distributed properties are studied by means of computer simulations. The main attention is paid to the possibility of coherent magnetization reversal from a…

Characteristic results of magnetism in small particles and thin films are presented. As a consequence of the reduced atomic coordination in small clusters and thin films the electronic states and density of states modify. Thus magnetic…
We present the results of the density functional theory study of Co_n Mo_m nanoclusters with n+m=x and 2<=x<=6 atoms on the all-electron level using the generalized gradient approximation. The discussion of the properties of the pure cobalt…
We propose a kinetic theory of transport in metals embedded with ferromagnetic nanoclusters, describing the dependence of the form of magnetoresistance on anisotropy characteristics of the ensemble of clusters and the influence of the…
The structures and relative stabilities of doubly-charged nonstoichiometric (CaO)$_n$Ca$^{2+}$ (n=1--29) cluster ions and of neutral stoichiometric (MgO)$_n$ and (CaO)$_n$ (n=3,6,9,12,15,18) clusters are studied through {\em ab initio}…
Magnetism in bare uncapped gold nano-clusters is explored from a density functional theory perspective with scalar relativistic effects included via the pseudo-potential. The computed electronic structures of various nano-clusters reveal…
The synthesis, morphology and magneto-transport properties of nanostructure-engineered charge-ordered Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 grown on ZnO nanowires are reported. The stability of the charge-ordering can be tuned, but more interestingly the sign of…
