Control and detection of spin order in ferromagnetic materials is the main principle enabling
magnetic information to be stored and read in current technologies. Antiferromagnetic …

Electronic excitations lie at the origin of most of the commonly measured spectra. However,
the first-principles computation of excited states requires a larger effort than ground-state …

Magnonics addresses the physical properties of spin waves and utilizes them for data
processing. Scalability down to atomic dimensions, operation in the GHz-to-THz frequency …

Extending planar two-dimensional structures into the three-dimensional space has become
a general trend in multiple disciplines, including electronics, photonics, plasmonics and …

External control of the conductivity of correlated oxides is one of the most promising
schemes for realizing energy-efficient electronic devices. Vanadium dioxide (VO2), an …

Control of magnetism on the atomic scale is becoming essential as data storage devices are
miniaturized. We show that antiferromagnetic nanostructures, composed of just a few Fe …
