Electric field effect on magnetism is an appealing technique for manipulating the magnetization at a low cost of energy. Here, we show that the local magnetization of the ultra-thin Co film can be switched by just applying a gate electric field without an assist of any external magnetic field or current flow. The loca…

In this article the mechanism of the linear magnetoelectric (ME) effect in the rhombohedral multiferroic ${\mathrm{BiFeO}}_{3}$ is considered. The study is based on the symmetry approach of the Ginzburg-Landau type, in which polarization, antiferrodistortion, and antiferromagnetic momentum vectors are viewed as orderi…

We show that only a few percentage of Sn doping at the Ba site on BaFe$_2$As$_2$, can cause electronic topological transition, namely, the Lifshitz transition. A hole like d$_{xy}$ band of Fe undergoes electron like transition due to 4\% Sn doping. Lifshitz transition is found in BaFe$_2$As$_2$ system around all the h…

A reversibly switchable electromagnetic oxide device is demonstrated by using a thin-film transistor structure with a newly developed leakage-free electrolyte as a gate insulator. The electrical and magnetic behavior of the device can be switched from antiferromagnetic insulation to ferromagnetic metal electrically un…

Current-induced magnetization excitation is a core phenomenon for next-generation magnetic nanodevices, and has been attributed to the spin-transfer torque (STT) that originates from the transfer of the spin angular momentum between a conduction electron and a local magnetic moment through the exchange coupling. Howev…

We propose a method to all-electrically control a domain-wall position in a ferromagnetic nanowire with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. The strength of this interaction can be controlled by an external electric field, which in turn allows a fine tuning of the pinning potential of a spin-spiral domain wall. It allow…

The quantum well states of a film can be used to sample the electronic structure of the parent bulk material and determine its band parameters. We highlight the benefits of two-dimensional film band mapping, with respect to complex bulk analysis, in an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of the 5d states o…

High-rate and high-volumetric pseudocapacitance is generally considered very challenging to achieve. It is reported that a compact polyaniline–graphene hydrogel film can provide a combination of high-volumetric pseudocapacitance, excellent rate capability, and long cycle life. The pore connectivity, which ensures fast…

A record high current density of 580 μA/μm is achieved for long-channel, few-layer black phosphorus transistors with scandium contacts after 400 K vacuum annealing. The annealing effectively improves the on-state current and Ion/Ioff ratio by 1 order of magnitude and the subthreshold swing by ∼2.5×, whereas Al2O3 capp…

The artificial force induced reaction (AFIR) method in the global reaction route mapping (GRRM) strategy is an automatic approach to explore all important reaction paths of complex reactions. Most traditional methods in computational catalysis require guess reaction paths. On the other hand, the AFIR approach locates…

We report the enhancement of the thermoelectric power (TEP) in graphene with extremely low disorder. At high temperature we observe that the TEP is substantially larger than the prediction of the Mott relation, approaching to the hydrodynamic limit due to strong inelastic scattering among the charge carriers.
