Within the last years, a fundamental understanding of nanoscaled materials has become a
tremendous challenge for any technical applications. For magnetic nanoparticles, the …

In this review article, we survey the relatively new theory of orbital magnetization in solids—
often referred to as the" modern theory of orbital magnetization"—and its applications …

The isotropic magnetic moment of a free atom is shown to develop giant magnetic
anisotropy energy due to symmetry reduction at an atomically ordered surface. Single cobalt …

We report clear evidence of the ferromagnetism of gas-evaporated Pd fine particles with a
clean surface. The clean Pd particle is found to have a magnetic heterostructure: the surface …

The original magnetic properties of nanometre-sized particles are due to the distinct
contributions of volume, surface and step atoms. To disentangle these contributions is an …

Up to 50% of the increase in marine animal biodiversity through the Cenozoic at the genus
level has been attributed to a sampling bias termed “the Pull of the Recent,” the extension of …

Epitaxial thin films of undoped LaCoO 3, of electron-doped La 0.7 Ce 0.3 CoO 3, and of hole-
doped La 0.7 Sr 0.3 CoO 3 exhibit ferromagnetic order with a transition temperature TC≈ 84 …

The influence of size reduction on the magnetism of CoRh has been studied on a system of
isolated nanometric spherical bimetallic ultrafine particles embedded in a polymer matrix …

The spin and orbital moments of Au/Co/Au trilayers grown on a W (110) single crystal
substrate have been investigated by means of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. Our …

We report on the magnetic properties of two-dimensional Co nanoparticles arranged in
macroscopically phase-coherent superlattices created by self-assembly on Au (788). Our …
