The palette of tools for perturbation of neural activity is continually expanding. On the
forefront of this expansion is magnetogenetics, where ion channels are genetically …

The adsorption of H on the magnetite (001) surface was studied with photoemission
spectroscopies, scanning tunneling microscopy, and density-functional theory. At saturation …

Studies of the angular dependence of the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) are
reported for epitaxial films of magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) grown on MgO (001) and also for single …

Polar catastrophe at the interface of oxide materials with strongly correlated electrons has
triggered a flurry of new research activities. The expectations are that the design of such …

Magnetite is a half-metal with a high Curie temperature of 858 K, making it a promising
candidate for magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). Yet, initial efforts to exploit its half metallic …

Fe3O4/ZnO nanocomposites (NCs) are prepared by a wet chemical route. X-ray diffraction,
