Surprising asymmetry in the local electromechanical response across a single antiparallel ferroelectric domain wall is reported. Piezoelectric force microscopy is used to investigate both the in-plane and out-of- plane electromechanical…
Helical magnets which violated space inversion symmetry have rather peculiar topological defects. In isotropic helical magnets with exchange and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions there are only three types of linear defects: $\pm\pi$ and…
The scattering of the eletron by a domain wall in a nano-wire is studied perturbatively to the lowest order. The correction to the thermodaynamic potential of the electron system due to the scattering is calculated from the phase shift. The…
We study the magnetic properties of cylindrical ferromagnetic core - antiferromagnetic shell nanowires using Monte Carlo simulations and a classical Heisenberg Hamiltonian in order to elucidate the impact of the oxidized shell on the…
We calculate the exact analytical solution to the domain wall properties in a multiferroic system with two order parameters that are coupled bi-quadratically. This is then adapted to the case of a magnetoelectric multiferroic material such…
Domain walls are the topological defects that mediate polarization reversal in ferroelectrics, and they may exhibit quite different geometric and electronic structures compared to the bulk. Therefore, a detailed atomic-scale understanding…
The most powerful magnets for high temperature applications are Sm-Co-based alloys with a microstructure that combines magnetically soft and hard regions. The microstructure consists of a dense domain-wall-pinning network that endows the…
The observation of unexpected polarisation textures such as vortices, skyrmions and merons in various oxide heterostructures has challenged the widely accepted picture of ferroelectric domain walls as being Ising-like. Bloch components in…
Polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) has long been applied to measure the magnetic depth profile of thin films. In recent years, interest has increased in observing lateral magnetic structures in a film. While magnetic arrays patterned by…
Domain walls in ferroelectrics exhibit a plethora of phases and functionalities not found in the bulk. The interplay of electrostatic, chemical, topological, and distortive inhomogeneities at the walls can be so complex, however, that this…
We investigate how to facilitate the injection of domain walls in chiral ferromagnetic nanowires by electrical means. We calculate the critical current density above which domain walls are injected into the nanowire depending on the…
The scattering of the electron by a domain wall in a nano-wire is calculated perturbatively to the lowest order. The resistance is calculated by use of Landauer's formula. The result is shown to agree with the result of the linear response…
We determine magnetoresistance effects in stable and clean permalloy nanocontacts of variable cross-section, fabricated by UHV deposition and in-situ electromigration. To ascertain the magnetoresistance (MR) effects originating from a…
The pinning phenomena of the domain wall in the presence of exchange bias is studied analytically. The analytic solution of the domain wall spin configuration is presented. Unlike the traditional solution which is symmetric, our new…
In elastically coupled multiferroic heterostructures that exhibit full domain correlations between ferroelectric and ferromagnetic sub-systems, magnetic domain walls are firmly pinned on top of ferroelectric domain boundaries. In this work…
A detailed correlative structural, magnetic and chemical analysis of non-stoichiometric cobalt ferrite micrometric crystals was performed by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism combined with photoemission microscopy, low energy electron…
The seeding of vortex domain walls in V-shaped nanowires by a magnetic field has been investigated via simulations and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Polarization Analysis (SEMPA). It is found that the orientation of the magnetic field…
Interactions between pairs of magnetic domain walls (DW) and pinning by radial constrictions were studied in cylindrical nanowires with surface roughness. It was found that a radial constriction creates a symmetric pinning potential well,…
Fast and efficient switching of nanomagnets is one of the main challenges in the development of future magnetic memories. We numerically investigate the evolution of the static and dynamic spin wave (SW) magnetization in short (50-400 nm…
We discuss the structure of the so-called "vortex" domain walls in soft magnetic nanoparticles. A wall of this kind is a composite object consisting of three elementary topological defects: two edge defects with winding numbers -1/2 and a…
