This article reviews static and dynamic interfacial effects in magnetism, focusing on
interfacially driven magnetic effects and phenomena associated with spin-orbit coupling and …

Confinement of electrons in small structures such as a thin film results in discrete quantum
well states. Such states can be probed by angle-resolved photoemission, as first predicted …

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 …

A theory of interlayer exchange coupling is presented. A detailed and comprehensive
discussion of the various aspects of the problem is given. The interlayer exchange coupling …

Magnetic materials have become controllable on the nanometre scale. Such fine structures
exhibit a wide range of fascinating phenomena, such as lowdimensional magnetism …

Much of our understanding of the atomic-scale magnetic structure and the dynamical
properties of solids and liquids was gained from neutron-scattering studies. Elastic and …

Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) forming at the interfaces of transition metal
oxides,, exhibit a range of properties, including tunable insulator–superconductor–metal …

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements reveal that Cu atoms in Co/Cu multilayers
exhibit an induced magnetic spin moment in the d shell. The magnitude and sign of the …

Current and anticipated future research frontiers in magnetism and magnetic materials are
discussed from a perspective of soft X-ray synchrotron utilization. Topics covered include …

Spin-polarized photoemission has developed into a versatile tool for the study of surface
and thin film magnetism. In this review, we examine the methodology of the technique and …
