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 …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) magnetism with a high Curie temperature (T c) has been the
pursuit of generations for its potential application in spintronic devices. Meanwhile, some …

Students and researchers looking for a comprehensive textbook on magnetism, magnetic
materials and related applications will find in this book an excellent explanation of the field …

The perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) arising at the interface between
ferromagnetic transition metals and metallic oxides was investigated via first-principles …

This article reviews static and dynamic interfacial effects in magnetism, focusing on
interfacially driven magnetic effects and phenomena associated with spin-orbit coupling and …

Ferromagnetic materials exhibit intrinsiceasy'andhard'directions of the magnetization. This
magnetic anisotropy is, from both a technological and fundamental viewpoint one of the …

This book emerged from a close collaboration of the authors which started in the fall of 2000.
Early that year one of us (JS) had joined the Stanford faculty after spending nearly 15 years …

In this paper, we review some of the key concepts in ultrathin film magnetism which underpin
nanomagnetism. We survey the results of recent experimental and theoretical studies of well …

The incessant demand for higher density, faster access time and lower power consuming
memory devices such as random access memories have driven tremendous research and …

Symmetry breaking and bonding at interfaces leads to a variety of anisotropy phenomena in
transition metal sandwiches and multilayers. The charge density, the spin density and the …
