The possibility of utilizing the rich spin-dependent properties of graphene has attracted
much attention in the pursuit of spintronics advances. The promise of high-speed and low …

Skyrmions are topologically protected non-collinear magnetic structures. Their stability is
ideally suited to carry information in, eg, racetrack memories. The success of such a memory …

We report on a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the magnetic
anisotropy of Fe and Co ultrathin layers on strongly polarizable metal substrates. Monolayer …

The structure and formation of an ultrathin hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) film on Pt (111)
has been studied by a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy, low energy electron …

The magnetization patterns on three atomic layers thick islands of Co on Ru (0001) are
studied by spin-polarized low-energy electron microscopy (SPLEEM). In-plane magnetized …

A detailed correlative structural, magnetic and chemical analysis of (non-stoichiometric)
cobalt ferrite micrometric crystals was performed by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism …

We have grown epitaxial films a few atomic layers thick of iron oxides on ruthenium. We
characterize the growth by low energy electron microscopy. Using selected-area diffraction …

Synchrotron based photoemission electron microscopy with energy filter combines real
space imaging with microprobe diffraction (μ-ARPES), giving access to the local electronic …

Abstract Thin films of Co/Ru (0001) are known to exhibit an unusual spin reorientation
transition (SRT) coupled to the completion of Co atomic layers for Co thicknesses under four …

We have investigated the structural and magnetic properties of ultra-thin Cr films on W (110)
by means of low-energy electron diffraction intensity-versus-voltage (LEED IV) data acquired …
