Abstract:
Metamaterials are made of precisely fabricated constituents that are analogous to ‘atoms’ and ‘molecules’ in natural materials. These emerging class of metamaterials promise to fill the white space of material selection, giving enormous choice of unusual effective material parameters for different applications.
Abstract: Magnetism, one of the most fundamental physical properties, lays the foundation for modern information technologies such as logic devices and memories.
Abstract: Magnetic anisotropy originated from spin-orbit coupling is the major mechanism to stabilize the magnetism in both ferromagnets and antiferromagnets so that it plays a key role in spintronics for both industrial applications and basic research discoveries. Here, I will introduce our recent studies based on magnetic anisotropy in magnetic thin films.
Abstract: Solutions to some of the most important issues we face today lie with understanding how molecular properties influence material function.
Abstract: Spin crossover molecules can assume a high spin and a low spin state. Typically, temperature determines which state the molecule is in. By choosing supporting substrates we stabilize the spin crossover transition outside its native temperature window and open it to isothermal manipulation by x-rays and magnetic fields.
Abstract: Developments in synthesis and characterizing artificially structured materials have greatly advanced the possibility to explore new quantum states of matter at heterointerfaces. Atomically resolved electron microscopy and spectroscopy has been shown to hold the key to identify the structural, compositional and electronic behavior across the interfaces with atomic precision. This is especially crucial for complex oxides system since subtle variation in order parameters will give rise to totally unexpected phenomena.
