Mapping Image Potential States on Graphene Quantum Dots

by Fabian Craes, Sven Runte, Jürgen Klinkhammer, Marko Kralj, Thomas Michely, and Carsten Busse

Author(s): Fabian Craes, Sven Runte, Jürgen Klinkhammer, Marko Kralj, Thomas Michely, and Carsten Busse

Free-electron-like image potential states are observed in scanning tunneling spectroscopy on graphene quantum dots on Ir(111) acting as potential wells. The spectrum strongly depends on the size of the nanostructure as well as on the spatial position on top, indicating lateral confinement. Analysis ...

Spin Resolution and Evidence for Superexchange on NiO(001) Observed by Force Microscopy

by Florian Pielmeier and Franz J. Giessibl

Author(s): Florian Pielmeier and Franz J. Giessibl

The spin order of the nickel oxide (001) surface is resolved, employing noncontact atomic force microscopy at 4.4 K using bulk Fe and SmCo tips mounted on a qPlus sensor that oscillates at sub-50 pm amplitudes. The spin-dependent signal is hardly detectable with Fe tips. In contrast, SmCo tips yield...

Particle model for skyrmions in metallic chiral magnets: Dynamics, pinning, and creep

by Shi-Zeng Lin, Charles Reichhardt, Cristian D. Batista, and Avadh Saxena

Author(s): Shi-Zeng Lin, Charles Reichhardt, Cristian D. Batista, and Avadh Saxena

Recently spin textures called skyrmions have been discovered in certain chiral magnetic materials without spatial inversion symmetry, and they have attracted enormous attention due to their promising application in spintronics since only a low applied current is necessary to drive their motion. When...

Inspiration from old molecules: field-induced slow magnetic relaxation in three air-stable tetrahedral cobalt(II) compounds

Chem. Commun., 2013, 49,5289-5291
DOI: 10.1039/C3CC00277B, Communication
Fen Yang, Qi Zhou, Yiquan Zhang, Guang Zeng, Guanghua Li, Zhan Shi, Bingwu Wang, Shouhua Feng
The dynamics of the magnetization has been investigated in three old four-coordinated cobalt(II) compounds. The compounds exhibit significant uniaxial anisotropy and field-induced slow magnetic relaxation behaviour.
