Magnetic tunnel junctions with ferroelectric barriers: Prediction of four resistance states from first-principles
Julian P. Velev, Chun-Gang Duan, J. D. Burton +5
Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), composed of two ferromagnetic electrodes separated by a thin insulating barrier layer, are currently used in spintronic devices, such as magnetic…
Charging Induced Emission of Neutral Atoms from NaCl Nanocube Corners
Davide Ceresoli, Tatyana Zykova-Timan, Erio Tosatti
Detachment of neutral cations/anions from solid alkali halides can in principle be provoked by donating/subtracting electrons to the surface of alkali halide crystals, but generall…
Magnetic phenomena, spin-orbit effects, and Landauer conductance in Pt nanowire contacts
Alexander Smogunov, Andrea Dal Corso, Erio Tosatti
Platinum monatomic nanowires were predicted to spontaneously develop magnetism, involving a sizable orbital moment via spin orbit coupling, and a colossal magnetic anisotropy. We p…
Role of transverse displacements for a quantized-velocity state of the lubricant
Ivano Eligio Castelli, Nicola Manini, Rosario Capozza +3
Within the idealized scheme of a 1-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova-like model, a special "quantized" sliding state was found for a solid lubricant confined between two periodic layer…
