Frustration, the presence of competing interactions, is ubiquitous in the physical sciences
and is a source of degeneracy and disorder, which in turn gives rise to new and interesting …

Two-dimensional condensed matter is realized in increasingly diverse forms that are
accessible to experiment and of potential technological value. The properties of these …

Artificial spin ice arrays of micromagnetic islands are a means of engineering additional
energy scales and frustration into magnetic materials. Here we demonstrate a magnetic …

We propose the model which takes account of magnetocrystalline anisotropy effects in thin
magnetic films. The dimensionality crossover from two-dimensional monolayer to three …

We present a direct magnetic imaging study on the thermal macrospin ordering of artificial
kagome spin ice building blocks. Using photoemission electron microscopy, employing x-ray …

We report on the temperature dependence of the magnetic anisotropy in Co/Pd/MgO system,
in which magnetic moment in Pd is induced by the magnetic proximity effect. We …

Originating from the demand for obtaining depth‐resolved magnetization profiles from thin
films and heterostructures, polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) has developed into a …

We have fabricated ultra-thin disc shaped islands wherein shape anisotropy confines the
moment to the island plane, creating XY-like superspins. At low temperatures, the …

Spin and spatial dimensionalities are universal concepts, essential for describing both
phase transitions and dynamics in magnetic materials. Lately, these ideas have been …

The element-specific magnetization and ordering in trilayers consisting of 0.3–1.4
monolayer (ML) thick Fe layers embedded in Pd (001) has been determined using x-ray …
