The classical spin flop is the field-driven first-order reorientation transition in easy-axis
antiferromagnets. A comprehensive phenomenological theory of easy-axis antiferromagnets …

A resonant x-ray magnetic diffraction study was performed for pure and (Cd, Ga)-doped Gd
In 3 single crystals with cubic structure. All studied samples show an equal-magnitude …

Using a simple Ginzburg–Landau model we discuss the different possibilities of generating
near-surface magnetic effects at a first-order transition. Analysis of available experiments …

The purpose of this communication is to show that arrays of FePt with perpendicular
anisotropy can be studied using energy-selective conversion electron Mössbauer …

Interfacial aspects play an important role in the magnetic and structural properties of
magnetic thin film systems such as giant or tunnel magneto-resistance devices or storage …

This thesis is concerned with magnetism at the surfaces of frustrated magnets, and in
particular with magnetism on face-centred cubic (FCC) lattice systems. Normally, magnets …
