Spin-based electronics or spintronics is an emerging field, in which we try to utilize spin
degrees of freedom as well as charge transport in materials and devices. While metal-based …

Breaking the time-reversal-symmetry of topological insulators through magnetic doping has
led to exotic physical discoveries. Here, we report the gate-dependent magneto-transport …

This article summarizes our understanding of the Kondo effect in graphene, primarily from a
theoretical perspective. We shall describe different ways to create magnetic moments in …

We theoretically study the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction between
magnetic impurities in both Dirac and Weyl semimetals (SMs). We find that the internode …

Conventional magnetic order in a material requires the partially filled d or f bands. The
exchange interactions between the electrons in these partially filled bands give rise to a …

ZnO films became ferromagnetic when defects were introduced by thermal-annealing in
flowing argon. This ferromagnetism, as shown by the photoluminescence measurement and …

Current-induced torques are commonly used to manipulate noncollinear magnetization
configurations. In this paper we discuss current-induced torques present in a certain class of …

When the magnetic order is introduced into topological insulators (TIs), the time-reversal
symmetry (TRS) is broken, and the non-trivial topological surface is driven into a new …

Based upon ab initio electronic structure calculations by the Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker
coherent‐potential approximation (KKR‐CPA) method within the local‐density …

Spintronics is an emergent interdisciplinary topic for the studies of spin-based, other than or
in addition to charge-only-based physical phenomena. Since the discovery of giant …
