The magnetic anisotropy of nanometer thin films and of nanosize structures is discussed.
Experimental methods for the quantitative determination of magnetic anisotropy are …

This contribution reviews an ab initio two-step procedure to determine exchange
interactions, spin-wave spectra, and thermodynamic properties of itinerant magnets. In the …

In this paper, a review of the developments in MRAM technology over the past 20 years is
presented. The various MRAM generations are described with a particular focus on spin …

Detailed studies of the temperature (5–350 K) and magnetic field variations (up to H= 50
kOe) of the magnetization of CuO nanoparticles of nominal size range 37–6.6 nm are …

The magnetic moments in Ni/Pt multilayers are thoroughly studied by combining
experimental and ab initio theoretical techniques. SQUID magnetometry probes the …

We raise the possibility that the chiral degeneracy of the magnons in ultrathin films can be
lifted due to the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. By using simple symmetry …

Magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) is poised to replace traditional computer memory
based on complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS). MRAM will surpass all other …

This paper is focused on thermally assisted magnetic random access memories (TA-
MRAMs). It explains how the heating produced by Joule dissipation around the tunnel …

In this review a number of magnetic properties of different thin film systems are investigated
as functions of the temperature and the atomic morphology. Special attention is paid to …

Magnetoelectric coupling allows the magnetic state of a material to be changed by an
applied electric field. To date, this phenomenon has mainly been observed in insulating …
