Spin}orbit induced magnetic phenomena in bulk metals and their surfaces and interfaces

First-principles electronic structure studies based on local spin density functional theory and performed on extremely complex simulations of ever increasingly realistic systems, play a very important role in explaining and predicting surface and interface magnetism. This review deals with what is a major issue for "rst-principles theory, namely the theoretical/computational treatment of the we...

XAS and XMCD investigation of Mn12 monolayers on gold.

The deposition of Mn(12) single molecule magnets on gold surfaces was studied for the first time using combined X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) methods at low temperature. The ability of the proposed approach to probe the electronic structure and magnetism of Mn(12) complexes without significant sample damage was successfully checked on bulk samp...

Detailed single-crystal EPR line shape measurements for the single-molecule magnets Fe8Br and Mn12-acetate

It is shown that our multi-high-frequency (402200 GHz) resonant cavity technique yields distortion-free high-field electron paramagnetic resonance ~EPR! spectra for single-crystal samples of the uniaxial and biaxial spin S510 single-molecule magnets ~SMM’s! @Mn12O12(CH3COO)16(H2O)4#•2CH3COOH•4H2O and @Fe8O2(OH)12(tacn)6#Br8•9H2O. The observed line shapes exhibit a pronounced dependence on tempe...

Highlights 2002

Modern magnetic materials are often composed of several elements, each of which contributes in a specific manner to the global magnetic properties. In order to understand the magnetic behavior of a complex compound on the basis of its constituents, the magnetic state of an individual sort of atoms must be determined. Such an element-selective probing of magnetic atoms can be conveniently achiev...

Magneto-optical observation of a magnetically induced ” domain spin-flop ” in a cubic antiferromagnet : KNiF3

2014 We have observed a large change in the field dependence of the magneto-optical spectra of cubic KNiF3 at a low magnetic field. This phenomenon, which is being reported for the first time, is compared to the well-known spin-flop occurring in uniaxial antiferromagnets. Spectroscopic calculations allow us to attribute the magnetic circular dichroism signals that have been observed below and a...
