The present review places emphasis on a comprehensive survey of experimental
techniques to probe the structural and morphological features at the nanoscale range in thin …

Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the impact of hydrogenation on the
Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) at graphene/Co interface. We find that both the …

Magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) energy and the anisotropy of the orbital magnetic
moment (AOM), relations between them, and methods of their calculation are investigated …

We report on the observation of spontaneously drifting coupled spin and quadrupolar
density waves in the ground state of laser driven Rubidium atoms. These laser-cooled …

Quantum well states formed by d electrons in metallic thin films are responsible for many
fundamental phenomena that oscillate with layer thickness, such as magnetic anisotropy or …

We present a study on the conductance and giant magnetoresistance effect in Co/Cu/(Co/Pt)
4/Co/IrMn spin valves, where the inverted [Co/Pt] 4/Co reference layer and the Co free layer …

When the thickness of metal film approaches the nanoscale, itinerant carriers resonate
between its boundaries and form quantum well states (QWSs), which are crucial to account …

Changes in stoichiometry, temperature, strain and other parameters dramatically alter
properties of LSMO perovskite. Thus, the sensitivity of LSMO may enable control of the …

Exchange magnetic coupling interactions between L 1 0-MnGa and ultrathin Co (Fe) films
were studied by first-principles calculations. An unexpected oscillation of magnetic coupling …

We report on the in-plane magnetic anisotropy in Au/Fe (1 1 0) and Co/Au/Fe (1 1 0) bi-and
trilayers epitaxially grown on a W (1 1 0) single crystal. Magnetic surface anisotropy (MSA) …
