Antiskyrmions stabilized at interfaces by anisotropic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction
Markus Hoffmann, Bernd Zimmermann, Gideon P. Müller +4
Chiral magnets are an emerging class of topological matter harbouring localized and topologically protected vortex-like magnetic textures called skyrmions, which are currently unde…
Strong spin-orbit fields and Dyakonov-Perel spin dephasing in supported metallic films
Nguyen H. Long, Phivos Mavropoulos, David S. G. Bauer +3
Spin dephasing by the Dyakonov-Perel mechanism in metallic films deposited on insulating substrates is revealed, and quantitatively examined by means of density functional calculat…
Role of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction for magnetism in transition-metal chains at Pt step-edges
Benedikt Schweflinghaus, Bernd Zimmermann, Marcus Heide +2
We explore the emergence of chiral magnetism in one-dimensional monatomic Mn, Fe, and Co chains deposited at the Pt(664) step-edge carrying out an ab-initio study based on density…
Giant spin Nernst effect induced by resonant scattering at surfaces of metallic films
Nguyen H. Long, Phivos Mavropoulos, Bernd Zimmermann +2
A new concept realizing giant spin Nernst effect in nonmagnetic metallic films is introduced. It is based on the idea of engineering an asymmetric energy dependence of the longitud…
RKKY-like contributions to the magnetic anisotropy energy: 3d adatoms on Pt(111) surface
Mohammed Bouhassoune, Manuel dos Santos Dias, Bernd ZImmermann +2
The magnetic anisotropy energy defines the energy barrier that stabilizes a magnetic moment. Utilizing density functional theory based simulations and analytical formulations, we e…
Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and chiral magnetism in 3-5 zig-zag chains: Tight-binding model and ab initio calculations
Vikas Kashid, Timo Schena, Bernd Zimmermann +4
We investigate the chiral magnetic order in free-standing planar 3-5 bi-atomic metallic chains (3: Fe, Co; 5: Ir, Pt, Au) using first-principles calculations based on d…
Anisotropy of spin relaxation and transverse transport in metals
Yuriy Mokrousov, Hongbin Zhang, Frank Freimuth +6
Using first principles methods we explore the anisotropy of the spin relaxation and transverse transport properties in bulk metals with respect to the direction of the spin quantiz…
