Within a rather general tight-binding framework, we studied the magnetic properties of Ni$_{n}$ clusters with $n=9$ through 60. In addition to usual hopping, exchange, and spin-orbit coupling terms, our Hamiltonian also included orbital…

Fluctuations of quantum spins play a crucial role in the emergence of exotic magnetic phases and excitations. The lack of the charge degree of freedom in insulating quantum magnets, however, precludes such fluctuations from mediating…

For antiferromagnets composed of spin five-half ions, the moments of these ions in the ordered antiferromagnetic state can be significantly smaller than 5 BM (i.e., 1.56 - 4.48 BM) if these ions form quantum fluctuating entities (QFEs), for…

We report high-temperature (300-1120 K) magnetization data of Fe and Fe3O4 nanoparticles embedded in multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The magnetic impurity concerntations are precisely determined by both high-energy synchrotron x-ray…

Electronic structure calculations are used to analyze the electronic and magnetic properties in {K$_{2}$Fe$_{4+x}$Se$_{5}$}. Fe atoms can be divided into two distinct groups. The $x{=}0$ (parent) compound forms an insulating, collinear,…

We experimentally demonstrate the coherent oscillations of a tunable superconducting flux qubit by manipulating its energy potential with a nanosecond-long pulse of magnetic flux. The occupation probabilities of two persistent current…

Among the factors determining the quantum coherence of the spin in molecular magnets is the presence and the nature of nuclear spins in the molecule. We have explored modifying the nuclear spin environment in Cr$_7$Ni-based molecular…

We report quantum oscillation measurements that enable the direct observation of the Fermi surface of the low temperature ground state of \ba122. From these measurements we characterize the low energy excitations, revealing that the Fermi…

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of resonant Raman spectroscopy in single- and triple-layer MoTe$_2$. Raman intensities are computed entirely from first principles by calculating finite differences of the dielectric…

The voltage dependence of nanoelectromechanical effects in a system where the quantized mechanical vibrations of a quantum dot are coupled to coherent tunneling of electrons through a single level in the dot is studied. It is found that…

Both spin and orbital degrees of freedom contribute to the magnetic moment of isolated atoms. However, when inserted in crystals, atomic orbital moments are quenched because of the lack of rotational symmetry that protects them when…

Quantum coherence of electrons in ferromagnetic metals is difficult to assess experimentally. We report the first measurements of time-dependent universal conductance fluctuations in ferromagnetic metal (Ni$_{0.8}$Fe$_{0.2}$) nanostructures…

Addressing the feasibility of quantum communication with entangled electrons in an interacting many-body environment, we propose an interference experiment using a scattering set-up with an entangler and a beam splitter. It is shown that,…

Despite extensive researches on manganites owing to widespread use in modern electronics, this class of metal oxides does not cease to surprise with its unique properties and new phenomena. Here we have studied structural and magnetic…

By means of neutron inelastic scattering, magnetic excitations and phonons were measured for a single crystal of slightly overdoped superconductor Ca10Pt4As8(Fe1-xPtxAs)10 (x ~ 0.2) with the transition temperature Tc of ~33 K. Below Tc,…

Vertically coupled double quantum rings submitted to a perpendicular magnetic field $B$ are addressed within the local spin-density functional theory. We describe the structure of quantum ring molecules containing up to 40 electrons…

We present low temperature specific heat and ac-susceptibility measurements on Fe$_{8}$ powdered sample. Below 1.3 K, superparamagnetic blocking effects as well as an excess specific heat contribution are evident. The latter is attributed…

Temperature-dependent magnetization measurements on a series of synthetic ferritin proteins containing from 100 to 3000 Fe(III) ions are used to determine the uncompensated moment of these antiferromagnetic particles. The results are…

Long-lived mechanical resonators like drums oscillating at MHz frequencies and operating in the quantum regime are a powerful platform for quantum technologies and tests of fundamental physics. Yet, quantum control of such systems remains…

The dependence of the magnetic susceptibility on the magnetic field is investigated for the single molecular magnet [Mn(hfac)$_2$NITPh]$_6$. The spikes of the susceptibility detected in a magnetic field ranging from 90 T to 285 T are…
