The fabrication methods of the microelectronics industry have been refined to produce ever
smaller devices, but will soon reach their fundamental limits. A promising alternative route to …

An overview of different chemical complexes studied by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism
(XMCD) is presented. We intend to show to the chemistry community the possibilities of this …

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 …

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 …

Density-functional calculations are performed to explore magnetoelectric effects originating
from the influence of an external electric field on magnetic properties of the Fe/MgO (001) …

The electron spin degree of freedom can provide the functionality of “nonvolatility” in
electronic devices. For example, magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) is …

Electric fields at interfaces exhibit useful phenomena, such as switching functions in
transistors, through electron accumulations and/or electric dipole inductions. We find one …

Van der Waals (vdW) magnets are an ideal platform for tailoring 2D magnetism with
immense potential for spintronics applications and are intensively investigated. However …

Magnetism in monolayer (ML) VSe2 has attracted broad interest in spintronics, while
existing reports have not reached consensus. Using element-specific X-ray magnetic …
