Can the adsorption of transition metals functionalize the novel 2D material borophene for nanoelectronic applications? In a recent Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter paper, Alvarez-Quiceno et al. perform a systematic first-principles investigation aimed at answering this question. They discuss their findings… Read More ›

Could 2D materials open new avenues for magnetic tunnel junctions and spin electronics?
This week’s image of the week is a vector plot of the function (10) from the JPhysD article Spin-transfer-driven oscillations of the magnetic quasi-vortex in a dot with crystalline cubic anisotropy Andrzej Janutka and Przemysław Gawroński 2017 J. Phys. D:… Read More ›
How does weak bond disorder affect the classical spin liquid state in a geometrically frustrated Ising Kagome system?
This weeks image come from a recent Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter paper by Viacheslav Chizhikov and Vladimir Dmitrienko. They theoretically investigated the cause of ferroelectric behaviour in the chiral magnet Cu2OSeO3. They found that Ferroelectric properties of cubic chiral… Read More ›
More than 15 % of energy is spent worldwide on various forms of cooling. In addition to the energy bill, the compressor in cooling units can bring a rich palette of sounds to your home: think of all this clanking,… Read More ›
This week’s image of the week is a typical spectral map with a set of lines of spectra for exchange spin waves, both in coordinates kAa, kBa. The image is taken from the article “Formation of the band spectrum of… Read More ›
