Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) is a key property of magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM). To increase areal density of MRAM it is important to find a way to enhance the PMA. Recently a strong enhancement of the PMA by…
Magnetocrystalline anisotropy in transition metal alloys (FePt, CoPt, FePd, MnAl, MnGa, and FeCo) was studied using first-principles calculations to elucidate its specific mechanism. The tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital method in the…
Search for ultrathin magnetic film with large perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy (PMA) has been inspired for years by the continuous miniaturization of magnetic units in spintronics devices. The common magnetic materials used in…
Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of the new ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ba,K)(Zn,Mn)$_{2}$As$_{2}$ is studied by angle-dependent x-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements. The large magnetic anisotropy with the anisotropy field of…
Unravelling the mechanism behind bulk perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in amorphous rare earth-transition metal films has proven challenging. This is largely due to the inherent complexity of amorphous structure and the entangled…
Antiferromagnetic MnPt exhibits a spin reorientation transition (SRT) as a function of temperature, and off-stoichiometric Mn-Pt alloys also display SRTs as a function of concentration. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy in these alloys is…
To study how nitrogen contributes to perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy (PMA) in the ferrimagnetic antiperovskite Mn$_4$N, we examined both the fabrication of epitaxial Mn$_4$N films with various nitrogen contents and…
All-optical spin reversal presents a new opportunity for spin manipulations, free of a magnetic field. Most of all-optical-spin-reversal ferromagnets are found to have a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), but it has been unknown…
The ability to tune and switch magnetic anisotropy to a perpendicular orientation is a key challenge for implementing 2D magnets in spintronic devices. H-phase vanadium dichalcogenides V$X_2$ ($X$=Te, Se, S) are promising ferromagnetic…
Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) energy up to $K_{\mathrm{u}}=6.1\pm0.8$ MJ m$^{-3}$ is demonstrated in this study by inducing large lattice-distortion exceeding 3% at room temperature in epitaxially distorted cobalt ferrite Co$ _{x}…
We report on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) behavior of heavy metal (HM)/ Fe alloy/MgO thin film heterostructures after an ultrathin HfO2 passivation layer is inserted between the Fe alloy and the MgO. This is accomplished by…
We present a theoretical study on interfacial magnetocrystalline anisotropy for Fe/MgAl$_2$O$_4$. This system has a very small lattice mismatch at the interface and therefore is suitable for realizing a fully coherent ferromagnet/oxide…
Controlling the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in thin films has received considerable attention in recent years due to its technological importance. PMA based devices usually involve heavy-metal (oxide)/ferromagnetic-metal…

We study interfacial magnetocrystalline anisotropies in various Fe/semiconductor heterostructures by means of first-principles calculations. We find that many of those systems show perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) with a positive…
We study the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) of the CoFeB/MgO bilayers in contact with W, Ta, IrMn and Ti which has been suggested as the spin-orbit-torque-related underlayers. The saturation magnetization of the CoFeB depends on…
Element-specific orbital magnetic moments and their anisotropies in perpendicularly magnetised Co/Pd multilayers are investigated using Co L-edge and Pd M-edge angle-dependent x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. We show that the orbital…
We present a theoretical and numerical investigation of the role of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in shaping spin-wave (SW) dynamics under low magnetic fields in thin and ultrathin magnetic films. PMA introduces an in-plane torque…
We derive a second-order perturbation formula for an electronic system subject to spin-orbit interactions (SOI). The energy correction originates in the spin-conserving and the spin-flip transitions. The former are represented by the…
