Careful first-principles density functional calculations reveal the importance of hexagonal versus cubic stacking of closed packed planes of Pd as far as local magnetic properties are concerned. We find that, contrary to the stable face…
Our first-principles study has revealed unexpected spin polarization of the Pd(001) substrate in contact with antiferromagnetic CoO overlayers. We give an evidence that the ferromagnetism of Pd is caused by the zigzag positions of Co atoms…
The formation of local magnetic moments and its size effect in one- and three-dimension finite systems with magnetic impurity are investigated based on the Anderson hybridizing model in real space. By the exact diagonalization within the…
We performed depth-dependent low-energy muon spin spectroscopy ($\mu$SR) studies on three palladium 100 nm thin films, both undoped and doped with 170 ppm of iron. Muons implanted in the surface and substrate interface region probe an…
Many theories published in the last decade propose that either ordered or disordered local moments are present in elemental plutonium at low temperatures. We present new experimental data and review previous experimental results. None of…
A two dimensional magnetic particle in the presence of an external magnetic field is studied. Equilibrium thermodynamical properties are derived by evaluating analytically the partition function. When the external field is applied…
Pt nanocontacts, like those formed in mechanically controlled break junctions, are shown to develop spontaneous local magnetic order. Our density functional calculations predict that a robust local magnetic order exists in the atoms…
The exploitation of the spin in charge-based systems is opening revolutionary opportunities for device architecture. Surprisingly, room temperature electrical transport through magnetic nanowires is still an unresolved issue. Here, we show…
The temperature dependence of conductivity $\sigma (T)$ in the metallic phase of a two-dimensional electron system in silicon has been studied for different concentrations of local magnetic moments. The local moments have been induced by…
Magnetic properties of high purity stoichiometric La$_2$CuO$_4$ nanoparticles are systematically investigated as a function of particle size. Ferromagnetic single-domain spin clusters are shown to spontaneously form at the surface of fine…
The performance characteristics of magnetic nanoparticles towards application, e.g. in medicine, imaging, or as sensors, is directly determined by their magnetization relaxation and total magnetic moment. In the commonly assumed picture,…
In this paper, we have tried to find out the origin of magnetism in Gold nanoparticles (Au- NPs). We observe that upon incorporating Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) in Fe3O4 nanoparticle medium the net magnetisation increases compared to the…
We present a microscopic model for nanoparticles, of the maghemite ($\gamma $% -Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$) type, and perform classical Monte Carlo simulations of their magnetic properties. On account of M\"{o}ssbauer spectroscopy and high-field…
The advent of milli-kelvin scanning tunneling microscopes (STM) with inbuilt magnetic fields has opened access to the study of magnetic phenomena with atomic resolution at surfaces. In the case of single atoms adsorbed on a surface, the…
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…
We theoretically investigate the creation of a magnetic moment in gold nanoparticles by circularly polarized laser light. To this end, we describe the collective electron dynamics in gold nanoparticles using a semiclassical approach based…
By calculating the spectral density of states in the ferromagnetic (FM) ground state and in the high temperature paramagnetic (PM) phase we provide the first concise study of finite temperature effects on the electronic structure of the…
Some Bravais lattices have a particular geometry that can slow down the motion of Bloch electrons by pre-localization due to the band-structure properties. Another known source of electronic localization in solids is the Coulomb repulsion…
We use the Kondo lattice model to investigate the possibility of ferromagnetism and half-metallicity in local moment systems. Using the spectral density approach and making use of the fact that the spontaneous magnetization of local moment…
Carrying a large, pure spin magnetic moment of 7 $\mu$bohr/atom in the half-filled 4f shell, divalent europium is an outstanding element for assembling novel magnetic devices in which a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is polarized due…
