Magnetism is a very relevant subject that permeates our everyday lives. However, magnetism keeps taking us from surprise to surprise which seems to indicate that it is a phenomenon not well understood. For example, we found that bulk…
We report on the origin of ferromagnetic like behaviour observed for 2.4 nm size Pd nanoparticles. Localised magnetic moments on metallic surfaces have been recently shown to induce orbital motion of the itinerant electrons via spin-orbit…
Many phenomena in condensed matter are thought to result from competition between different ordered phases. Palladium is a paramagnetic metal close to both ferromagnetism and superconductivity, and is therefore a potentially interesting…
In 1965 Duwez \textit{et al.} reported having generated an amorphous, stable phase of palladium-silicon in the region 15 to 23 atomic percent (at. \%) silicon. These pioneering efforts have led to the development of solid materials that are…
In general, conventional superconductivity and magnetism are competing phenomena. In some alloys this competition is a function of the concentration of the elements. Here we show that in the palladium alloys Pd$_{1-c}$(H/D/T)$_{c}$…
Motivated from the flat-band ferromagnetism conceived theoretically for a single chain of five membered rings (polyaminotriazole) by Arita {\it et al.}, [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 88}, 127202 (2002)], we have studied whether the magnetism can…
The theory of orbital magnetism in disordered metals is reviewed, and extended to include a broad range of temperatures and fields. Sample-to-sample fluctuations in the orbital magnetic susceptibility are studied. In a given sample these…
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…
Zero-point energy of surface plasmon modes of mesoscopic metal samples in an external magnetic field has been considered. The magnetic response of plasmon vacuum has shown to be diamagnetic. In thin films this surface vacuum diamagnetism is…
Recent experiments on Pd$_{3}$Fe intermetallics [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 237202 (2009)] have revealed that the system behaves like a classical invar alloy under high pressure. The experimental pressure-volume relation suggests an anomalous…
Nanoporous alumina membranes produced by mild or hard anodisation in oxalic acid at potentials ranging from 5 - 140 V have a controllable pore surface area of up to 200 times the membrane area. They exhibit a saturating magnetic response…
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 susceptibility of an ensemble of clean metallic nanoparticles is shown to change from paramagnetic to diamagnetic one with the onset of spin-orbit interaction. The effect is quantified on the basis of symmetry analysis with the…
Magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) turbulence is ubiquitous in magnetized astrophysical plasmas, and it radically changes a great variety of astrophysical processes. In this review, we give the concept of MHD turbulence and explain the origin of…
We have investigated Pd nanowires theoretically, and found that, unlike either metallic or free atomic Pd, they exhibit Hund's rule magnetism. In long, monoatomic wires, we find a spin moment of 0.7 Bohr magnetons per atom, whereas for…
We find that, in the mesoscopic regime, modification of the material's surface can induce an extensive change of the material's magnetic moment. In other words, perturbation of order $N^2$ atoms on the surface of a 3-dimensional solid can…
The effect of strong magnetic field on the stability and gross properties of bulk as well as quasi-bulk quark matter has been investigated using the conventional MIT bag model. Both the Landau diamagnetism and the paramagnetism of quark…
Existence of ferromagnetism in bulk calcium compounds is discovered theoretically. First-principles calculations of calcium phosphide, calcium arsenide and calcium antimonide in the zinc-blende structure have been performed to show the…
We report intrinsic ferromagnetism in monolayer electrides or electrenes, in which excess electrons act as anions. Our first-principles calculations demonstrate that magnetism in such electron-rich two-dimensional (2D) materials originates…
Ensembles of gold nanoparticles present a magnetic behavior which is at odds with the weakly diamagnetic response of bulk gold. In particular, an unusual ferromagnetic order has been unveiled by several experiments. Here we investigate if…
