Control and detection of spin order in ferromagnetic materials is the main principle enabling
magnetic information to be stored and read in current technologies. Antiferromagnetic …

Multiferroic materials, which show simultaneous ferroelectric and magnetic ordering, exhibit
unusual physical properties—and in turn promise new device applications—as a result of …

The range of mechanically cleavable Van der Waals crystals covers materials with diverse
physical and chemical properties. However, very few of these materials exhibit magnetism or …

The phenomenology of exchange bias and related effects in nanostructures is reviewed.
The types of systems discussed include: lithographically fabricated ferromagnetic (FM) …

This book emerged from a close collaboration of the authors which started in the fall of 2000.
Early that year one of us (JS) had joined the Stanford faculty after spending nearly 15 years …

An overview of different chemical complexes studied by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism
(XMCD) is presented. We intend to show to the chemistry community the possibilities of this …

Core level spectroscopy has become a powerful tool in the study of electronic states in
solids. From fundamental aspects to the most recent developments, Core Level …

Multiferroic materials, which offer the possibility of manipulating the magnetic state by an
electric field or vice versa, are of great current interest. In this work, we demonstrate the first …

In this review, high-resolution X-ray emission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy will be
discussed. The focus is on the 3d transition-metal systems. To understand high-resolution X …

Since the first days of high-T c superconductivity, the materials science and the physics of
grain boundaries in superconducting compounds have developed into fascinating fields of …
