The interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) of two local moment ferromagnetic layers separated by a non-magnetic spacer layer (M/N/M multilayer) is studied using the modified RKKY method along with the s-f model. The IEC exhibits oscillatory…
Indirect exchange coupling in magnetic multilayers, also known as the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction, is known to be highly effective in controlling the interlayer alignment of the magnetization. This coupling is typically…
We demonstrate a 20-fold enhancement in the strength of the RKKY interlayer exchange in dilute-ferromagnet/normal-metal multilayers by incorporating ultrathin Fe layers at the interfaces. Additionally, the resulting increase in the…
We study the influence of collective magnetic excitations on the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) in metallic multilayers. The results are compared to other models that explain the temperature dependence of the IEC by mechanisms within…
Mechanisms of the recently demonstrated ex-situ thermal control of the indirect exchange coupling in magnetic multilayer are discussed for different designs of the spacer layer. Temperature-induced changes in the hysteresis of magnetization…
We present all-electrical operation of a Fe$_x$Cr$_{1-x}$-based Curie switch at room temperature. More specifically, we study the current-induced thermally-driven transition from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic…
We show, theoretically, that the phase of the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) undergoes a topological change of approximately $2\pi$ as the chemical potential of the ferromagnetic (FM) lead moves across a hybridization gap (HG). The…
We propose an electric-field-controlled mechanism for magnetization switching assisted solely by the interlayer-exchange coupling (IEC) between the fixed and the free magnets, which are separated by two oxide barriers sandwiching a spacer…
We investigate the finite-temperature properties of an Anderson lattice with regularly depleted impurities. The physics of this model is ruled by two different magnetic exchange mechanisms: conventional Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY)…
The search for novel spintronic devices brings about new ways to control switching in magnetic thin-films. In this work we experimentally demonstrate a device based on thermoelectrically controlled exchange coupling. The read out signal…
Ab initio formulations of the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) between two, in general non-collinearly aligned magnetic slabs embedded in a non-magnetic spacer are reviewed whereby both the spacer and the magnetic slabs as well as their…
For epitaxial trilayers of the magnetic rare-earth metals Gd and Tb, exchange coupled through a non-magnetic Y spacer layer, element-specific hysteresis loops were recorded by the x-ray magneto-optical Kerr effect at the rare-earth $M_5$…
We investigate a novel type of interlayer exchange coupling based on driving a strong/weak/strong ferromagnetic tri-layer through the Curie point of the weakly ferromagnetic spacer, with the exchange coupling between the strongly…
In this letter, we demonstrate switching of nanomagnets through RKKY interactions in topological insulator-based magnetoelectric devices. The switching speed is dependent on the size of the ferromagnets.
We study interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) based on the many-body Coulomb interaction between conduction electrons in magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). This mechanism complements the known IEC based on virtual electron hopping (or spin…
Materials with a large magnetocaloric response are highly desirable for magnetic cooling applications. It is suggested that a strong spin-lattice coupling tends to generate a large magnetocaloric effect, but no microscopic mechanism has…
The continuous reduction of magnetic units to ultra small length scales inspires efforts to look for a suitable means of controlling magnetic states. In this study we show two surface charge alteration techniques for tuning the interlayer…
In a multi-terminal setup, when time-reversal symmetry is broken by a magnetic field, the heat flows can be managed by designing a device with programmable Boolean behavior. We show that such device can be used to implement operations like…
The interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) between two ferromagnetic (FM) layers separated by a non-magnetic (NM) spacer layer gives rise to different types of coupling with the variation of spacer layer thickness. When the NM is metallic, the…
We demonstrate sharp thermally-induced switching between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic RKKY exchange in a spin-valve with the spacer incorporating a thin diluted ferromagnetic layer as the core. We illustrate the mechanism behind the…
