Spin electronics is a rapidly expanding field stimulated by a strong synergy between
breakthrough basic research discoveries and industrial applications in the fields of magnetic …

Irradiating solids with energetic particles is usually thought to introduce disorder, normally
an undesirable phenomenon. But recent experiments on electron or ion irradiation of …

A common misconception is that the irradiation of solids with energetic electrons and ions
has exclusively detrimental effects on the properties of target materials. In addition to the …

Owing to their reduced dimensions, the magnetic properties of ultrathin magnetic films and
multilayers, eg magnetic anisotropies and exchange coupling, often depend strongly on the …

A pure magnetic patterning by means of ion irradiation which relies on a local modification of
the magnetic anisotropy of a magnetic multilayer structure has been first demonstrated in …

The interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) plays a crucial role in chiral domain
wall (DW) motion, favoring fast DW velocities. We explore the effect of interface disorder on …

We investigate the potential of the extraordinary Hall effect (EHE) in magnetic thin films with
out-of-plane anisotropy for sensors, memories or logic applications. The scalability of EHE at …

The effect of high-energy particle irradiation on materials is often detrimental, yet it can be
beneficial as in orienting high-density magnetic alloys by promoting chemical order. 1 …

Abstract Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJ) are employed in a range of technologies such as
data storage, sensing, and so on due to their compact nature and high field sensitivity. In …

Magnetization orientation in Ga+-irradiated Pt/Co (d Co)/Pt ultrathin films can be changed in
a controlled way by adjusting the ion fluence, F. Two-dimensional (d Co, F) diagrams of …
