For a long time, rare-earth (RE) intermetallic materials have attracted considerable interest because of their rich and exotic properties including complex magnetic phases, valence fluctuations, heavy-fermion and Kondo behavior and non-Fermi-liquid properties. At the heart of the involved physics is the delicate interplay between itinerant electrons and the lattice of localized 4f...
The current quest for spintronic devices might benefit from taking advantage of the properties of highly perfect materials. For example, spinels are oxides with interesting properties that suggest many possible applications based on them. However, growth defects are ubiquitous in spinel thin films. A possible path to obtain highly perfect spinel nanostructures is through growth by oxygen...
Epitaxial Graphene/Ferromagnetic (Gr/FM) structures deposited onto heavy metals (HM) have been proposed for the realization of novel spin-orbitronic devices because of their perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and sizeable Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, which in turn allow for enhanced thermal stability and stabilization of chiral spin textures [1,2]. In this work we elucidate the nature of...
