Effects of disorder on the magnetic properties of the Heusler alloy VFeAl

Ross Smith, Zsolt Gercsi, Rui Zhang +3

Magnetic properties of multicomponent alloys depend sensitively on the degree of atomic order on the different crystallographic sites. In this work we demonstrate the magnetic cont…

RuMnAl thin films

K. E. Siewierska, H. Kurt, B. Shortall +7

The cubic Heusler alloy RuMnAl is grown in thin film form on MgO and MgAlO substrates. It is a highly spin-polarised ferrimagnetic metal, with weak magnetoc…

Au4Mn, a localized ferromagnet with strong spin-orbit coupling, long-range ferromagnetic exchange and high Curie temperature

Yangkun He, Zsolt Gercsi, Rui Zhang +8

Metallic Mn-based alloys with a nearest-neighbor Mn-Mn distance greater than 0.4 nm exhibit large, well-localized magnetic moments. Here we investigate the magnetism of tetragonal…

Rare-earth-free noncollinear metallic ferrimagnets Mn4-xZxN with compensation at room temperature

Rui Zhang, Yangkun He, Daniel Fruchart +2

Compensated ferrimagnets, like antiferromagnets, show no net magnetization but their transport and magneto-optic properties resemble those of ferromagnets, thereby creating opportu…

Single pulse all-optical toggle switching of magnetization without Gd: The example of Mn2RuxGa

C. Banerjee, N. Teichert, K. Siewierska +6

Energy-efficient control of magnetization without the help of a magnetic field is a key goal of spintronics. Purely heat-induced single-pulse all-optical toggle switching has been…

Piezomagnetic effect as a counterpart of negative thermal expansion in magnetically frustrated Mn-based antiperovskite nitrides

Jan Zemen, Zsolt Gercsi, Karl G. Sandeman

Electric-field control of magnetization promises to substantially enhance the energy efficiency of device applications ranging from data storage to solid-state cooling. However, th…

Tuning the metamagnetism of an antiferromagnetic metal

J. B. Staunton, M. dos Santos Dias, J. Peace +2

We describe a `disordered local moment' (DLM) first-principles electronic structure theory which demonstrates that tricritical metamagnetism can arise in an antiferromagnetic metal…
