The spin filtering phenomenon allows one to obtain highly spin-polarized charge carriers
generated from nonmagnetic electrodes using magnetic tunnel barriers. The exponential …

According to quantum mechanics, a harmonic oscillator can never be completely at rest.
Even in the ground state, its position will always have fluctuations, called the zero-point …

Within density functional theory (DFT), adding a Hubbard U correction can mitigate some of
the deficiencies of local and semi-local exchange-correlation functionals, while maintaining …

Multiferroics are materials where two or more ferroic orders coexist owing to the interplay
between spin, charge, lattice and orbital degrees of freedom. The explosive expansion of …

Rare earth chalcogenides (RECs) with novel luminescence and magnetic properties offer
fascinating opportunities for fundamental research and applications. However, controllable …

Solid-state lanthanide (Ln) borides of the simple LnB6 composition not only exhibit exciting
physical behavior, in particular magnetic properties, but their electronic structure and …

The BiFeO 3 nanoparticles, having an average size of 13 nm, were synthesized by a simple
sol-gel method. The samples possess single phase up to 2% Eu doping at the Bi site. The …

The development of novel nano-oxide spintronic devices would benefit greatly from
interfacing with emergent phenomena at oxide interfaces. In this paper, we integrate highly …

Recently, the EuS/InAs interface has attracted attention for the possibility of inducing
magnetic exchange correlations in a strong spin-orbit semiconductor, which could be useful …

Using first-principles density functional calculations, we have computed the optical and
magneto-optical properties of the Cr-based double perovskite compounds, Sr 2 Cr B′ O 6 …
