We have investigated infinitely long, monostrand Pt nanowires theoretically, and found that they exhibit Hund's rule magnetism. We find a spin moment of 0.6 Bohr magnetons per atom, at the equilibrium bond length. Its magnetic moment…

Monatomic nanowires of the nonmagnetic transition metals Ru, Rh, and Pd have been studied theoretically, using first-principles computational techniques, in order to investigate the possible onset of magnetism in these nanosystems. Our…

Platinum monatomic nanowires were predicted to spontaneously develop magnetism, involving a sizable orbital moment via spin orbit coupling, and a colossal magnetic anisotropy. We present here a fully-relativistic (spin-orbit coupling…

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…

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 have carried out fully relativistic full-potential, spin-polarized, all-electron density-functional calculations for straight, monatomic nanowires of the 5d transition and noble metals Os, Ir, Pt and Au. We find that, of these metal…

Measurements of the static magnetic susceptibility and of the nuclear magnetic resonance of multiwalled vanadium-oxide nanotubes are reported. In this nanoscale magnet the structural low-dimensionality and mixed valency of vanadium ions…

The magnetization of an ensemble of isolated lead grains of sizes ranging from below 6 nm to 1000 nm is measured. A sharp disappearance of Meissner effect with lowering of the grain size is observed for the smaller grains. This is a direct…

We present a first-principles calculation of the electronic conduction properties of single-row sodium nanowires suspended between semi-infinite electrodes. The conductance of the nanowire is ~1 G0 (=2e^2/h) and oscillates with a two-atom…

Magnetization behavior of long nanowires with square cross-section under influence of strong perpendicular spin-polarized current is studied theoretically. The study is based on Landau-Lifshitz-Slonczewski phenomenology. In the no current…

We present a combined experimental and numerical study into the magnetophoresis behavior of weakly magnetic nanoparticle suspensions in the vicinity of a wire under a non-uniform magnetic field and negligible inertia. The experiments were…

The magnetic properties of iron (spin and orbital magnetic moments, magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy) in various geometries and dimensionalities are investigated by using a parametrized tight-binding model in an $s$, $p$ and $d$ atomic…

Using first-principles calculations, we study the magnetism of 5d transition-metal atomic junctions including structural relaxations and spin-orbit coupling. Upon stretching monatomic chains of W, Ir, and Pt suspended between two leads, we…

Magnetism in palladium has been the subject of much work and speculation. Bulk crystalline palladium is paramagnetic with a high magnetic susceptibility. Palladium under pressure and palladium nanoclusters have generated interest to…

Zero length quantum wires (or point contacts) exhibit unexplained conductance structure close to 0.7 X 2e^2/h in the absence of an applied magnetic field. We have studied the density- and temperature-dependent conductance of…

We employ the density functional Kohn-Sham method in the local spin-density approximation to study the electronic structure and magnetism of quasi one-dimensional periodic arrays of few-electron quantum dots. At small values of the lattice…

Cobalt nanowires with a diameter in the range between 50 to 100nm can be prepared as single-crystal wires with the easy axis (the c-axis) perpendicular to the wire axis. The competition between the crystal anisotropy and demagnetization…

Segmented magnetic nanowires are a promising route for the development of three dimensional data storage techniques. Such devices require a control of the coercive field and the coupling mechanisms between individual magnetic elements. In…

We present first-principles calculations for the transport properties of monoatomic Al wires sandwiched between Al(100) electrodes. The conductance of the monoatomic Al wires oscillates with the number of the constituent atoms as a function…

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…
