Written by three leading experts in the field, this book describes and explains all essential
aspects of scanning probe microscopy. Emphasis is placed on the experimental design and …

The main objective of the review was to investigate the ferromagnetism of diluted magnetic
semiconductors made of Mn‐doped GaAs. Manganese‐doped gallium arsenide has …

Controlling electronic transport through a single-molecule junction is crucial for molecular
electronics or spintronics. In magnetic molecular devices, the spin degree-of-freedom can be …

We predict, theoretically, the existence of the anomalous Hall effect when a tunneling current
flows through a tunnel junction in which only one of the electrodes is magnetic. The …

We review the recently developed three-dimensional (3D) atom-superposition approach for
simulating scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) based on ab initio …

We investigate the impact of the local spin texture on the differential conductance by
scanning tunneling microscopy. In the focus is the previously found noncollinear …

Torque can be provided to magnetization in nanomagnets directly by electric current and/or
voltage. This technique enables electric current (voltage)-to-spin conversion without …

We investigate the behaviour of spin transfer torque (STT) and tunnelling magnetoresistance
(TMR) in epitaxial antiferromagnetic-based tunnel junctions using tight binding calculations …

The viability of past, current and future devices for information technology hinges on their
sensitivity to the presence of impurities. The latter can reshape extrinsic Hall effects or the …

This lecture has been given at the 45th Spring School: Computing Solids: Models, Ab-initio
Methods and Supercomputing organized at the Forschungszentrum J\" ulich. The goal of this …
