A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) with a magnetic tip that has a sufficiently strong spin-polarization can be used to map the sample's spin structure down to the atomic scale but usually lacks the possibility to absolutely determine the…

The magnetic properties of platinum nano-particles ranging in size from a few to up 300 atoms are investigated through first-principle calculations. It is found that the total magnetization depends strongly on the local atomic…

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…

We measured a spin polarization above a Pt (111) surface in the vicinity of a Co nanostripe by spin-polarized scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The spin polarization is exponentially decaying away from the Pt/Co interface and is detectable…

We have performed full-relativistic density functional theory calculations to study the geometry and binding energy of different isomers of free platinum clusters Pt$_{n}$ ($n=4-6$) within the spin multiplicities from singlet to nonet. The…

Hirsch (1999) proposed a mechanism and geometry for the observation of the spin-Hall effect. In this work, we present a novel realization of the Hirsch geometry in a platinum (Pt) nanostructure, which is an increasingly important material…

The atomic orbital basis and atomic pseudopotential for electron-ion interaction in framework of density function theory used to calculate C70H84 spin polarized diamond cluster with neutral vacancy. The band gap has been found to be 1.70…

We revisit spin-orbit coupling in a plasmonic Berry metasurface comprised of rotated nanoapertures, which is known to imprint a robust far-field polarization response. We present a scattering formalism that shows how that spin-momentum…

We revisit the problem of the spontaneous magnetization of an {\em sp} impurity atom in a simple metal host. The main features of interest are: (i) Formation of the spherical spin density/charge density wave around the impurity; (ii)…

In order to clarify the mechanism of spin polarization in potassium-loaded zeolite A, we perform {\em ab initio} density-functional calculations. We find that (i) the system comprising only non-magnetic elements (Al, Si, O and K) can indeed…

Spin-polarization is known to lead to important {\it magnetic} and {\it optical} effects in open-shell atoms and elemental solids, but has rarely been implicated in controlling {\it structural} selectivity in compounds and alloys. Here we…

We perform density functional theory calculations using Gaussian atomic-orbital methods within the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange and correlation to study the interactions in the bare and hydrogenated platinum clusters.…

Using a consistent quantum-mechanical treatment for the electromagnetic radiation, we theoretically investigate the magnetic spin-flip scatterings of a neutral two-level atom trapped in the vicinity of a superconducting body. We derive a…

We analyze an advanced two-spring model with an ultra-low effective tip mass to predict nontrivial and physically rich 'fine structure' in the atomic stick-slip motion in Friction Force Microscopy (FFM) experiments. We demonstrate that this…

The spin-polarized scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) can in principle resolve not only the electronic, but also the magnetic surface structure. We model recent STM measurements achieving magnetic resolution on the atomic scale by a…

The ability to confine light down to atomic scales is critical for the development of applications in optoelectronics and optical sensing as well as for the exploration of nanoscale quantum phenomena. Plasmons in metallic nanostructures can…

Inspired by recent experiments on fully spin polarized Na clusters, we perform a systematic survey of neutral Na clusters at all conceivable spin polarizations. We study the impact of spin state on ionic configuration, on global shape, and…

We have investigated the stability limits of small spin-polarized clusters consisting of up to ten spin-polarized tritium T$\downarrow$ atoms and the mixtures of T$\downarrow$ with spin-polarized deuterium D$\downarrow$ and hydrogen…

Sharp metal corners and tips support plasmons localized on the scale of the curvature radius -- superlocalized plasmons. We analyze plasmonic properties of nanoparticles with small and sharp corner- and tip-shaped surface perturbations in…

Recent advances in scanning probe techniques rely on the chemical functionalization of the probe-tip termination by a single molecule. The success of this approach opens the tantalizing prospect of introducing spin sensitivity through the…
