Here, we show that the ferro(para)magnetic and non-collinear antiferromagnetic interfaces contribute to oscillating signals observed in the magnetoresistance. We associate the effect with the fact that the spins on the surface of IrMn3…
Soft-X-ray ARPES (SX-ARPES) with its enhanced probing depth and chemical specificity allows access to fundamental electronic structure characteristics - momentum-resolved spectral function, band structure, Fermi surface - of systems…
Self-assembled molecular structures have been intensively used in molecular electronics and spintronics. However, detailed nature of the interfaces between molecular layers and extended metallic contacts used to bias the real devices…
Atomically flat interfaces between ternary oxides have chemically different variants, depending on the terminating lattice planes of both oxides. Electronic properties change with the interface termination which affects, for instance,…
Magnetization reversal of soft ferromagnetic Fe layer, coupled to [Co/Pt]ML multilayer [ML] with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), has been studied in-situ with an aim to understand the origin of exchange bias (EB) in orthogonal…
Ferroelectric control of interfacial magnetism has attracted much attention. However, the coupling of these two functionalities has not been understood well at the atomic scale. The lack of scientific progress is mainly due to the limited…
Spin excitations of magnetic thin films are the founding element for novel transport concepts in spintronics, magnonics, and magnetic devices in general. While spin dynamics have been extensively studied in bulk materials, their behaviour…
The performance of manganite-based magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) has suffered from reduced magnetization present at the junction interfaces that is ultimately responsible for the spin polarization of injected currents; this behavior has…
We investigate equilibrium properties of an exchange-spring magnetic system constituted of a soft layer (e.g. Fe) of a given thickness on top of a hard magnetic layer (e.g. FePt). The magnetization profile M(z) as a function of the atomic…
Twisted oxide membranes represent a promising platform for exploring moire physics and emergent quantum phenomena. However, the presence of amorphous interfacial dead layers in conventional oxide heterostructures impedes coherent coupling…
We have studied magnetotransport in organic-inorganic hybrid multilayer junctions. In these devices, the organic semiconductor (OSC) Alq$_3$ (tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum) formed a spacer layer between ferromagnetic (FM) Co and Fe…
Epitaxial CoFe2O4/Al2O3 bilayers are expected to be highly efficient spin injectors into Si owing to the spin filter effect of CoFe2O4. To exploit the full potential of this system, understanding the microscopic origin of magnetically dead…
The observation of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) at MgO/Fe interfaces boosted the development of spintronic devices based on ultrathin ferromagnetic layers. Yet, magnetization reversal in the standard magnetic tunnel junctions…
Oxygen and other light elements comprise up to 5 wt% of the Earth's outer-core, and may significantly influence its physical properties and the operation of the geodynamo. Here we report in situ x-ray diffraction measurements of Fe, Fe +…
Introducing magnetic order into a topological insulator (TI) system has been attracting much attention with an expectation of realizing exotic phenomena such as quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) or axion insulator states. The magnetic…
The theoretical formulation of x-ray resonant magnetic scattering from rough surfaces and interfaces is given for specular reflectivity. A general expression is derived for both structurally and magnetically rough interfaces in the…
The surface/interface species in perovskite oxides play an essential role in many novel emergent physical phenomena and chemical processes. With low eigen-energy in the terahertz region, such species at buried interfaces remain poorly…
The distortion of corner-sharing octahedra in isovalent perovskite transition-metal oxide interfaces is proven to be an excellent way to tailor the electronic and magnetic properties of their heterostructures. Combining depth-dependent…
Interface engineering is an extremely useful tool for systematically investigating materials and the various ways materials interact with each other. We describe different interface engineering strategies designed to reveal the origin of…
Interfacial reaction between iron and MgO has been studied in situ during deposition of iron on MgO surface, using soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy. High sensitivity of the technique which is capable of detecting even a sub monolayer of a…
