Channeling of a sub-angstrom electron beam in a crystal mapped to two-dimensional molecular orbitals

Robert Hovden, Huolin L. Xin, David A. Muller

The propagation of high-energy electrons in crystals is in general a complicated multiple scattering problem. However, along high-symmetry zone axes the problem can be mapped to th…

Graphene as a reversible spin manipulator of molecular magnets

Sumanta Bhandary, Saurabh Ghosh, Heike Herper +3

One of the primary objectives in molecular nano-spintronics is to manipulate the spin states of organic molecules with a d-electron center, by suitable external means. In this lett…

Magnetic oscillations driven by the spin Hall effect in 3-terminal magnetic tunnel junction devices

Luqiao Liu, Chi-Feng Pai, D. C. Ralph +1

We show that direct current in a tantalum microstrip can induce steady-state magnetic oscillations in an adjacent nanomagnet through spin torque from the spin Hall effect (SHE). Th…

Spin transfer torque devices utilizing the giant spin Hall effect of tungsten

Chi-Feng Pai, Luqiao Liu, Y. Li +3

We report a giant spin Hall effect (SHE) in β-W thin films. Using spin torque induced ferromagnetic resonance with a β-W/CoFeB bilayer microstrip we determine the spin Hall angle t…

Reversible Control of Magnetic Interactions by Electric Field in a Single Phase Material

P. J. Ryan, J. -W. Kim, T. Birol +9

Intrinsic magnetoelectric coupling describes the interaction between magnetic and electric polarization through an inherent microscopic mechanism in a single phase material. This p…

Turning ABO antiferroelectrics into ferroelectrics: Design rules for practical rotation-driven ferroelectricity in double perovskites and ABO Ruddlesden-Popper compounds

Andrew T. Mulder, Nicole A. Benedek, James M. Rondinelli +1

Ferroic transition metal oxides, which exhibit spontaneous elastic, electrical, magnetic or toroidal order, exhibit functional properties that find use in ultrastable solid-state m…

Joint Density-Functional Theory of the Electrode-Electrolyte Interface: Application to Fixed Electrode Potentials, Interfacial Capacitances, and Potentials of Zero Charge

Kendra Letchworth-Weaver, T. A. Arias

This work explores the use of joint density-functional theory, a new form of density-functional theory for the ab initio description of electronic systems in thermodynamic equilibr…

Spin torque switching with the giant spin Hall effect of tantalum

Luqiao Liu, Chi-Feng Pai, Y. Li +3

We report a giant spin Hall effect (SHE) in β-Ta that generates spin currents intense enough to induce efficient spin-transfer-torque switching of ferromagnets, thereby providing a…

Magnetodielectric coupling and phonon properties of compressively strained EuTiO3 thin films deposited on LSAT

S. Kamba, V. Goian, M. Orlita +13

Compressively strained epitaxial (001) EuTiO3 thin films of tetragonal symmetry have been deposited on (001) (LaAlO3)_0.29-(SrAl_{1/2}Ta_{1/2}O3)_0.71 (LSAT) substrates by reactive…
