We present a comprehensive investigation of reconstructions on $\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$(001) combining first-principles calculations with experimental observations. Using ab initio atomistic thermodynamics and replica-exchange grand-canonical…
Materials with large magnetostriction are widely used in sensors, actuators, micro electromechanical systems, and energy-harvesters. Binary Fe-Ga alloys (Galfenol) are the most promising rare-earth-free candidates combining numerous…
FeGa3 is a well known d-p hybridization induced intermetallic bandgap semiconductor. In this work, we present the experimental and theoretical results on the effect of Al substitution in FeGa3, obtained by x-ray diffraction (XRD),…
Using first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the magnetic exchange interaction and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of biatomic Fe chains grown in the trenches of the 5x1 reconstructed Ir(001) surface depend sensitively on the…
We provide a first-principles modeling of the beta-Ga2O3/3C-SiC interface that takes into account the reconstructions occurring at the 3C-SiC (001) surface by oxidation, aiming to mimic the actual deposition process under the best…
We have theoretically studied the stability and reconstruction of (111) surfaces of Au, Pt, and Cu. We have calculated the surface energy, surface stress, interatomic force constants, and other relevant quantities by ab initio electronic…
In this work we show the existence of closure domains in Fe$_{1-x}$Ga$_x$ thin films featuring a striped magnetic pattern and study the effect of the magnetic domain arrangement on the magnetotransport properties. By means of X-ray resonant…
Recent progress in theoretical understanding of magnetic anisotropy and stiffness in III-V magnetic semiconductors is exploited for predictions of magnetic domain characteristics and methods of their tuning. We evaluate the width and the…
We present an in-depth analysis of the atomic and electronic structure of the quasi one-dimensional (1D) surface reconstruction of Ga on Si(112) based on Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy (STM and STS), Rutherford…
The (111) facet of magnetite (Fe$_3$O$_4$) has been studied extensively by experimental and theoretical methods, but controversy remains regarding the structure of its low-energy surface terminations. Using density functional theory (DFT)…
The Mn$_3$Ga Heusler compound and related alloys are the most promising materials for the realization of spin-transfer-torque switching in magneto tunneling junctions. Improved performance can be achieved by high quality interfaces in these…
We investigate the structural and magnetic properties of Mn$_{2}$FeGa for different phases(cubic, hexagonal and tetragonal) reported experimentally using density functional theory. The relative structural stabilities, and the possible phase…
The structure of the Fe3O4(110)-(1x3) surface was studied with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), and reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). The so-called one-dimensional…
Soft X-ray magnetic vector tomography has been used to visualize with unprecedented detail and solely from experimental data the 3D magnetic configuration of a ferrimagnetic Gd12Co88/Nd17Co83/Gd24Co76 multilayer with competing anisotropy,…
While $\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ is considered a promising wide bandgap semiconductor, the impact of ion-induced defect formation and anisotropic elasticity remains poorly understood. Here, we combine a simulation and experiment X-ray diffraction…
The robustness of the gapless topological surface state hosted by a 3D topological insulator against perturbations of magnetic origin has been the focus of recent investigations. We present a comprehensive study of the magnetic properties…
We have investigated the relationship between the domain structure and the magnetic interactions in a series of FePt ferromagnetic thin films of varying thickness. As-made films grow in the magnetically soft and chemically disordered A1…
A magnetite (Fe3O4) single crystal (111) surface has been studied at various oxygen-iron surface stoichiometries. The stoichiometry was modified by controlling the in-situ sample anneal conditions. We have found the conditions that lead to…
A recent study has revealed that the low carrier density electron gas (2DEG) induced at the interface of EuO and (111) KTaO$_3$ exhibits a broken symmetry phase with a strong in-plane anisotropy of the resistivity. We present a minimal…
