Electronic and magnetic structures of Sr(2)FeMoO(6).

Growth evolution of laser-ablated Sr(2)FeMoO(6) nanostructured films: Effects of substrate-induced strain on the surface morphology and film quality.

Pulsed laser deposition was used to grow Sr(2)FeMoO(6) films of different thicknesses on MgO(100), SrTiO(3)(100), and LaAlO(3)(100) with respective lattice mismatches of +6.2%, -1.2%, and -4.3%. Surface roughness and morphology, and film crystal quality and epitaxy were determined by atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction, respectively. Two-dimensional layer-by-layer growth was evident f...

Magnetoresistance in Sr 2 FeMoO 6 : x glass composites

Ultrafast spin dynamics and critical behavior in half - metallic ferromagnet : Sr 2 FeMoO

Ultrafast spin dynamics in ferromagnetic half-metallic compound Sr 2 FeMoO 6 is investigated by pump-probe measurements of magneto-optical Kerr effect. Anomalous thermal insulation between spins and electrons due to half-metallic nature of this material gives rise to a very slow spin relaxation from a few to several-hundred picosecond after the optical excitation. The optically detected magneti...

First Principle Study of MC (M= Al, Ga, and In) at Equilibrium and under Negative Stress

The electronic and magnetic properties of the hypothetical compounds of MC (M=Al, Ga and In) are investigated by using first-principle calculations and pseudopotential plane wave self-consistent field method based on density functional theory. In order to find the most stable phase of MC (M=Al, Ga and In), we study them in zinc-blende (ZB), rocksalt (RS), wurtzite and NiAs crystal structures. W...

Theoretical study of magnetic susceptibility and optical activity of small molecules containing one chiral center

In the first part of this work, correlation between optical activity and elements of magnetic susceptibility tensor (MST) for five classes of model small molecules containing a single chiral center has been studied using quantum computational techniques at DFT-B3LYP level of theory with 6-311G basis set. Several molecular properties are used to reduce the MST elements prior to the examination o...
