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 …

Topological insulators are insulating materials that display conducting surface states
protected by time-reversal symmetry 1, 2, wherein electron spins are locked to their …

The possibility of generating a large range of elastic strain in low-dimensional materials
offers a vast design space that has led to a plethora of scientific and technological …

Materials that exhibit strongly coupled magnetic order and electronic properties are crucial
for both fundamental research and technological applications. However, finding a material …

Thorium was a part of energy infrastructure in the 19th century due to the refractory and
electronic properties of its dioxide. It will be a part of future energy infrastructure as the most …

Magnetic semiconductors are a class of materials with special spin-filtering capabilities with
magnetically tunable energy gaps. Many of these materials also possess another intrinsic …

Using a combination of local-spin-density and Hubbard 1 approximations, we study the
mechanism of exchange interaction in Eu X (X= O, S, Se and Te). We reproduce known …

Polycrystalline GdN thin films have been grown at room temperature with varying N 2
pressure. By varying the nitrogen pressure during growth we alter the carrier concentrations …

We have found that there is a narrow but distinct window in oxygen pressure for growing
phase-pure epitaxial EuO films by a pulsed laser deposition. With finely decreasing the …

The ferromagnetic europium chalcogenides, have attracted wide interest due to the large
saturation magnetization, the strong magneto-optic effect (Kerr or Faraday rotation) …
