Knowledge about the magnetic and electronic properties of materials does not only expand our fundamental understanding of nature, but is also crucial for the development of new technologies. Today’s electronic devices rely on electrical currents to transport and process information, which generate a lot of heat waste via Joule heating. These device...

We have performed density functional calculations of the electronic structure, anomalous Hall conductivity, and anomalous Nernst conductivity for the model crystal structure of a mineral Hapkeite Fe2Si contained in a meteorite Dhofar 280, which is believed to originate from the Moon. The calculated results showed that the model structure of Hapkeit...

Magnetic properties are universal and inherent in all matter. While most experimental approaches focus on ferromagnetism and electromagnetism, few experiments exist to analyse diamagnetism and paramagnetism. To demonstrate these mostly unknown types of magnetic, magnetic balance experiments represent a simple and compelling approach. However, pheno...

Motivated by the recent excitement around the physics of twisted transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) multilayer systems, we study strongly correlated phases of TMD heterobilayers under the influence of light. We consider both waveguide light and circularly polarized light. The former allows for longitudinally polarized light, which in the high fr...

Magnetic skyrmions are promising spin textures for building next-generation magnetic memories and spintronic devices. Nevertheless, one of the major challenges in realizing skyrmion-based devices is the stabilization of ordered arrays of these spin textures in different geometries. Here we numerically study the skyrmion–skyrmion interaction potenti...

This paper investigated the performance changes brought about by the adsorption of metal and non-metal atoms on monolayer NbS2. First-principles found that the adsorption of non-metallic atoms on the monolayer NbS2 significantly changed the surface structure, with non-metallic atoms other than F intercalated into the upper S atoms. Among them, the ...
Magnetic materials play a key role in the advancement of modern technology, from data storage mediums and giant magnetoresistance read heads for information processing, to medical applications like drug delivery and magnetic resonance imaging. Their research and development have progressed towards ever-reducing spatial and magnetic footprints, larg...
Zgodovina nam razkriva, kako pomembno vlogo je imel magnetni kompas v navigaciji, in to ne samo na morju, temveč tudi na kopnem. Zemeljski magnetizem nam omogoča uporabo kompasa, kar so tudi v srednjem veku hitro ugotovili ter izkoristili. Le v nekaj stoletjih se je kompas iz posode s plavajočim magnetom spremenil v kompaktno in robustno napravo, k...

We report muon spin rotation (µSR) experiments on the microscopic properties of superconductivity and magnetism in the kagome superconductor CeRu2 with Tc≃5 K. From the measurements of the temperature-dependent magnetic penetration depth λ, the superconducting order parameter exhibits nodeless pairing, which fits best to an anisotropic s-wave gap s...

Results are reported for Mn intercalated Zr2Te2P, where x-ray diffraction , energy dispersive spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy measurements reveal that the van der Waals bonded Te–Te layers are partially filled by Zr and Mn ions. This leads to the chemical formulas Zr0.07Zr2Te2P and Mn0.06Zr0.03Zr2Te2P for the parent and substitut...
