This chapter discusses the spin-transfer effect, which is described as the transfer of the spin angular momentum between the conduction electrons and the magnetization of the ferromagnet that occurs due to the conservation of the spin angular momentum. L. Berger, who introduced the concept in 1984, considered the exchange interaction between the conduction electron and the localized magnetic moment, and predicted that a magnetic domain wall can be moved by flowing the spin current. The spin-transfer effect was brought into the limelight by the progress in microfabrication techniques and the discovery of the giant magnetoresistance effect in magnetic multilayers. Berger, at the same time, separately studied the spin-transfer torque in a system similar to Slonczewski’s magnetic multilayered system and predicted spontaneous magnetization precession.

AbstractUsing spin-assisted ab initio random structure searches, we explore an exhaustive quantum phase diagram of archetypal interfaced Mott insulators, i.e. lanthanum-iron and lanthanum-titanium oxides. In particular, we report that the charge transfer induced by the interfacial electronic reconstruction stabilises a high-spin ferrous Fe2+ state. We provide a pathway to control the strength of correlation in this electronic state by tuning the epitaxial strain, yielding a manifold of quantum electronic phases, i.e. Mott-Hubbard, charge transfer and Slater insulating states. Furthermore, we report that the electronic correlations are closely related to the structural oxygen octahedral rotations, whose control is able to stabilise the low-spin state of Fe2+ at low pressure previously observed only under the extreme high pressure conditions in the Earth’s lower mantle. Thus, we provide avenues for magnetic switching via THz radiations which have crucial implications for next generation of spintronics technologies.

AbstractSuperconductivity is among the most fascinating and well-studied quantum states of matter. Despite over 100 years of research, a detailed understanding of how features of the normal-state electronic structure determine superconducting properties has remained elusive. For instance, the ability to deterministically enhance the superconducting transition temperature by design, rather than by serendipity, has been a long sought-after goal in condensed matter physics and materials science, but achieving this objective may require new tools, techniques and approaches. Here, we report the transmutation of a normal metal into a superconductor through the application of epitaxial strain. We demonstrate that synthesizing RuO2 thin films on (110)-oriented TiO2 substrates enhances the density of states near the Fermi level, which stabilizes superconductivity under strain, and suggests that a promising strategy to create new transition-metal superconductors is to apply judiciously chosen anisotropic strains that redistribute carriers within the low-energy manifold of d orbitals.

ABSTRACTThe theory of collective electron ferromagnetism given by Stoner applies to a system of electrons in a single energy band; for iron, cobalt and nickel this is identified with the band of states derived from atomic 3d functions. To bring in the generally assumed overlapping of the 3d band by the wide 4s band in these metals, the theory has been extended to take account of the transfer of electrons from 3d to 4s states with change of temperature. A previous calculation of this transfer effect must be regarded as inadequate, for the part played by the exchange energy in determining the distribution of electrons between the two sets of states was omitted. The general equations are derived in § 2 and used as a basis for discussion of the properties of nickel-copper alloys at absolute zero in § 3. In §§4 and 5 numerical results are presented which show the effect of the overlapping 4s band on the magnetic properties of a system such as nickel both above and below its Curie point. Comparison with the measured paramagnetic susceptibility of pure nickel above the Curie point strongly suggests that for this metal the overlapping 4s band has only a minor influence, although in principle the effect could be very large (cf. Fig. 4). This result is not unambiguous, however, because values thus inferred for the two unknown parameters lead to inaccurate predictions below the Curie point. First, the predicted values for the spontaneous magnetization are too small. Secondly, the theory demands that the nickel-copper alloys should only be ferromagnetic below a copper content of about 20 %, whereas experimentally the limit is known to be about 60 %. In conclusion, it is suggested that the implicit assumption of Stoner's theory that the exchange integrals between all pairs of 3d states are equal to one another is a more serious restriction on the theory than the consideration of only a single energy band.
