EuO is a model ferromagnet, with great potential in spintronics, but also of great interest from a theoretical point of view. Here we propose to study the magnetic proximity... -
Direct search for high-energy excitations in ferrimagnetic CrCl2(pyz-d4)2
Although previous INS experiments on CrCl2(pyz)2 confirmed the magnetic origin of a weak dispersive low-energy mode below 1 meV, two major problems remain: (i) its energy scale... -
Study of ferromagnet-topological insulator interfaces
We aim at studying the interface between a ferromagnetic (FM) thin film and a topological insulator (TI). For accessing the spin-polarised state in a TI system via current...
