The present review places emphasis on a comprehensive survey of experimental
techniques to probe the structural and morphological features at the nanoscale range in thin …

Orbital currents have recently emerged as a promising tool to achieve electrical control of
the magnetization in thin-film ferromagnets. Efficient orbital-to-spin conversion is required in …

GdCo films have been widely used in spintronic applications, owing largely to their tunable
degree of ferrimagnetic compensation. However, all key properties likewise depend on the …

Unraveling the mechanism behind bulk perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in
amorphous rare earth-transition metal films has proven challenging. This is largely due to …

When polarized light is incident on a magnetic material, the magneto-optical Kerr effect
(MOKE) rotates the polarization and induces ellipticity in the reflected light, which allows the …

Solid-phase rare earth monoxides have been recently synthesized via thin film epitaxy.
However, it has been difficult to synthesize heavy rare earth monoxides owing to their …

Due to the unique properties of compensated ferrimagnets, such as long spin coherence
length, fast domain wall motion, and large spin-orbit torque, to manipulate ferrimagnetic …

Domain wall (DW) dynamics in antiferromagnetic (AFM) systems offer the advantages over
their ferromagnetic counterparts of having faster and more energy efficient manipulation due …

The tuning of magnetic properties through electrochemical loading of hydrogen has recently
attracted significant interest as a way to manipulate magnetic devices with electric fields. In …

The present work reports the magnetic and structural behavior of [Gd/Co] 10 multilayers with
different Co thickness values, prepared by magnetron sputtering, as a function of thermal …
