Catalina Salazar Mejia, HLD. Magnetic-refrigeration and hydrogen-liquefaction technology based on the magnetocaloric effect are emerging as climate-friendly alternatives to conventional methods. To make these applications a reality, the proper characterization of the respective materials is now more crucial than ever. It is necessary to determine the magnetocaloric and other physical [...]

Walter Escoffier, Michel Goiran, Mathieu Pierre, LNCMI Toulouse, and Oleg Makarovsky, University of Nottingham, UK. Perovskite/graphene field effect transistors (FETs) have garnered substantial attention owing to their unique optical properties and potential for applications in electronics and optoelectronics, including ultra-sensitive photon detectors and FETs for metrology. The charge-transfer processes at [...]

Michał Grzybowski, Eindhoven University of Technology and University of Warsaw, and Uli Zeitler, HFML Nijmegen. Antiferromagnetic thin-film materials are robust against a magnetic field making them promising to be used in numerous spintronic applications. The magnetic properties of an antiferromagnet are governed by the competition between the magneto-crystalline anisotropy and [...]

Artem Mishchenko, University of Manchester, UK and Benjamin Piot, LNCMI Grenoble. Graphite is made out of a stacking of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice. This recurring pattern gets disrupted at the surfaces of the crystal which leads to the occurrence of “surface states” – fading waves [...]
