Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and half metallicity in Cr2Ge2Te6 nanoribbons
Valeria Ríos-Vargas, Rodrigo Ponce-Pérez, María G. Moreno-Armenta +1
The Cr2Ge2Te6 (CGT) compound is an intrinsic ferromagnetic material with a van der Waals layered structure that shows great promise in spintronics applications. In this work, we in…
Understanding the non-collinear antiferromagnetic IrMn surfaces and their exchange-biased heterostructures from first principles
Daniel Maldonado-Lopez, Noboru Takeuchi, Jonathan Guerrero-Sanchez
We provide a complete and systematic first-principles study of the thermodynamic stability, structural parameters, and magnetic properties of the T1 non-collinear antiferromagnetic…
Spin polarized STM imaging of nanoscale Néel skyrmions in an SrIrO3/SrRuO3 Perovskite Bilayer
J. P. Corbett, K. -Y. Meng, J. J. Repicky +5
Spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (SPSTM) was used to directly image nanoscale Néel skyrmions in a SrIrO3 / SrRuO3 bilayer system that are among the smallest reported to…
Surface structures of the magnetostrictive D03-Fe3Ga(001)
Ricardo Ruvalcaba, J. P. Corbett, Andrada-Oana Mandru +3
First-principles total energy calculations and experimental measurements were performed to study the surface reconstructions of the magnetostrictive Fe3Ga alloy. The magnetostricti…
