We report on the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DMI) interaction at the interface between a ferromagnet and an oxide. We demonstrate experimentally that oxides can give rise to DMI. By comparison of systems comprised of Pt/Co 90Fe 10/oxide and Cu/Co 90Fe 10/oxide

Heusler compounds are exciting materials for future spintronics applications because they display a wide range of tunable electronic and magnetic interactions. Here, we use a femtosecond laser to directly transfer spin polarization from one element to

The vision of using light to manipulate electronic and spin excitations in materials on their fundamental time and length scales requires new approaches in experiment and theory to observe and understand these excitations. The ultimate speed limit for all

Polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy was performed and analyzed from large, high quality, mono-domain single crystal of \alpha-RuCl3, a proximate Kitaev quantum spin liquid. Spectra were collected with laser polarizations parallel and perpendicular to
This manual describes an implementation of optimal Bayesian experimental design methods. These methods address routine measurements where data are fit to experimental models in order to obtain model parameters. The twin benefits of these methods are

We report ultralow intrinsic magnetic damping in Co 25Fe 75 heterostructures, reaching the low 10 -4 regime at room temperature. By using a broadband ferromagnetic resonance technique in out-of-plane geometry, we extracted the dynamic magnetic properties

We investigate the magnetoelastic properties of Co 25Fe 75 and Co 10Fe 90 thin films by measuring the mechanical properties of a doubly clamped string resonator covered with multilayer stacks containing these films. For the magnetostrictive constants, we

Spin-orbit interaction (SOI) couples charge and spin transport, enabling electrical control of magnetization, the foundation of next-generation spintronic devices. A quint essential example of SOI-induced transport is the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), first

Sub-picosecond magnetisation manipulation via femtosecond optical pumping has attracted wide attention ever since its original discovery in 1996. However, the spatial evolution of the magnetisation is not yet well understood, in part due to the difficulty

The interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) is important for chiral domain walls (DWs) and for stabilizing magnetic skyrmions. We study the effects of introducing increasing thicknesses of Ir, from zero to 2 nm, into a Pt/Co/Ta multilayer

We report an axisymmetric magnetic trap design for levitating diamagnetic particles. The magnetic traps each consist of two iron pole pieces passively driven by a neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) permanent magnet. The magnetic field configuration between the

Many neuromorphic hardware technologies are being explored for their potential to increase the efficiency of computing certain problems, and thus facilitate machine learning with greater energy efficiency and or with more complexity. Among the technologies
