Assembling non-ferromagnetic materials to ferromagnetic architectures using metal-semiconductor interfaces

In this work, a facile and versatile solution route was used to fabricate room-temperature ferromagnetic fish bone-like, pteridophyte-like, poplar flower-like, cotton-like Cu@Cu2O architectures and golfball-like Cu@ZnO architecture. The ferromagnetic origins in these architectures were found to be around metal-semiconductor interfaces and defects, and the root cause for their ferromagnetism lay...

The semiconductor-to-ferromagnetic-metal transition in FeSb2

We propose FeSb2 to be a nearly ferromagnetic small gap semiconductor, hence a direct analog of FeSi. We find that despite different compositions and crystal structures, in the local density approximation with on-site Coulomb repulsion correction (LDA+U) method magnetic and semiconducting solutions for U=2.6 eV are energetically degenerate similar to the case of FeSi. For both FeSb2 and FeSi (F...

Interlayer Exchange Coupling in Semiconductor EuS–PbS Ferromagnetic Wedge Multilayers

Antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling between ferromagnetic layers of EuS via nonmagnetic PbS spacer layer was experimentally studied in EuS– PbS wedge multilayers grown on KCl (001) substrates with EuS thickness of 6 nm and PbS thickness varying in the wedges in the range 0.3–6 nm (i.e. n = 1−20 monolayers). Measurements of magnetic hysteresis loops of EuS–PbS multilayers performed in the temp...
