Quantum well states and amplified spin-dependent Friedel oscillations in thin films
Mohammed Bouhassoune, Bernd Zimmermann, Phivos Mavropoulos +4
Electrons mediate many of the interactions between atoms in a solid. Their propagation in a material determines its thermal, electrical, optical, magnetic and transport properties.…
First-principles analysis of a homo-chiral cycloidal magnetic structure in a monolayer Cr on W(110)
Bernd Zimmermann, Marcus Heide, Gustav Bihlmayer +1
The magnetic structure of a Cr monolayer on a W(110) substrate is investigated by means of first-principles calculations based on the noncollinear spin density functional theory (D…
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…
Skew scattering in dilute ferromagnetic alloys
Bernd Zimmermann, Kristina Chadova, Diemo Ködderitzsch +8
The challenging problem of skew scattering for Hall effects in dilute ferromagnetic alloys, with intertwined effects of spin-orbit coupling, magnetism and impurity scattering, is s…
Spin relaxation and spin Hall transport in 5d transition-metal ultrathin films
Nguyen H. Long, Phivos Mavropoulos, Bernd Zimmermann +3
The spin relaxation induced by the Elliott-Yafet mechanism and the extrinsic spin Hall conductivity due to the skew-scattering are investigated in 5d transition-metal ultrathin fil…
