A review of new developments in theoretical and experimental electronic-structure
investigations of half-metallic ferromagnets (HMFs) is presented. Being semiconductors for …

We review the structural, magnetic and transport properties of double perovskites (A 2 BB'O
6) with ferromagnetism above room temperature. Ferromagnetism in these compounds is …

The crystal structure of highly stoichiometric magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) below the Verwey
transition has been refined from high-resolution neutron and synchrotron x-ray powder …

The structural, chemical, and magnetic properties of magnetite nanoparticles are compared.
Aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy reveals the prevalence of …

High quality MgO/Fe3O4 core− shell nanowires have been successfully synthesized by
depositing an epitaxial shell of Fe3O4 onto single crystal MgO nanowires. The material …

This paper presents a review of the research which is focused on ferrite thin films for
spintronics. First, I will describe the potential of ferrite layers for the generation of spin …

The complex and intriguing properties of the ferrimagnetic half metal magnetite (Fe3O4) are
of continuing fundamental interest as well as being important for practical applications in …

Electrical currents flowing in ferromagnetic materials are spin-polarised as a result of the
spin-dependent band structure. When the spatial direction of the polarisation changes, in a …

A central goal of electronics based on correlated materials or 'Mottronics' is the ability to
switch between distinct collective states with a control voltage. Small changes in structure …

We report resistivity measurements on epitaxial Fe 3 O 4 films between 3 and 100 nm
thickness grown on polished MgO substrates. The resistivity of the films is larger than the …
