Structural and Magnetic Dynamics of a Laser Induced Phase Transition in FeRh

We use time-resolved x-ray diffraction and magneto-optical Kerr effect to study the laser-induced antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition in FeRh. The structural response is given by the nucleation of independent ferromagnetic domains (tau(1) s ...

Magnetism of individual adatoms and of epitaxial monolayers

Anne Lehnert

This thesis reports on the magnetism of low coordinated Fe and Co atoms in different chemical and electronic environments. The objective of this research was to contribute to the fundamental understanding of the magnetic properties, such as magneto-crystal ...

Uniform and staggered magnetizations induced by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions in isolated and coupled spin-1∕2dimers in a magnetic field

Frédéric Mila

We investigate the interplay of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions and an external field in spin-1∕2 dimers. For isolated dimers and at low field, we derive simple expressions for the staggered and uniform magnetizations which show that the orientation of ...

Enhanced magnetic field sensitivity of spin-dependent transport in cluster-assembled metallic nanostructures

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Jean-Pierre Abid, Santiago Serrano Guisan, Giulia Di Domenicantonio

The emerging field of spintronics explores the many possibilities offered by the prospect of using the spin of the electrons for fast, nanosized electronic devices. The effect of magnetization acting on a current is the essence of giant or tunnel magnetore ...
