Alessandro Surrente, Atsuhiko Miyata, Oliver Portugall, and Paulina Plochocka, LNCMI-Toulouse Magnetic fields exceeding 100 T can be obtained only by semi-destructive methods. In one approach, the magnetic field is generated by a single-turn coil, which explodes during the pulse leaving the cryostat where the sample is mounted intact. [...]
Antiferromagnets (AFMs) have attracted increasing attention in state-of-the-art research. Their important role in enhancing the hardness of ferromagnetic electrodes through the exchange-bias effect in microelectronics, has been broadly extended by new perspectives in spintronic applications. AFMs also facilitate current-induced switching of their order parameter owing to the absence of [...]
Peter Christianen, HFML Nijmegen Single-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides, such as MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, WSe2, are two-dimensional semiconductors with a honeycomb lattice. Their band structures show a pair of inequivalent valleys (local extrema) at the +K and -K points of the Brillouin zone. The valleys in the conduction and valence [...]
