The ferromagnetic nano-structures are recently of great interest for modern investigations. A comparison of the experimental data and theoretical results shows that the use of the standard molecular field approximation is insufficient for the description of nano-structure properties. Therefore, we use the effective field approach in order to show the usefulness of the Valenta model generalized in this way. The agreement between experiment and theory is then excellent. The magnetization profiles and the calculated Curie temperatures are presented for the systems consisting of Ni and Co layers with different configuration of the surfaces and interfaces including terraces and wires. We have shown that the position in the system as well as the kind of neighbouring layers and their mutual interactions can determine the shape of magnetization profiles. The use of the Valenta model allows us to present all dependences in the layer resolved mode.

Frequency dependence of magnetoelectric (ME) coupling is investigated in trilayers of ferromagnetic alloy and piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT). The ferromagnetic phases studied include permendur, a soft magnet with high magnetostriction, i ron, nickel, and cobalt. Low frequency data on ME voltage coefficient versus bias magnetic field indicate strong coupling only for trilayers with permendure or Ni. Measurements of frequency dependence of ME voltage reveal a giant ME coupling at electromechanical resonance. The ME interactions for transverse fields is an order of magnitude stronger than for longitudinal fields. The maximum voltage coefficient of 90 V/cm Oe at resonance is measured for samples with nickel or permendure and is three orders of magnitude higher than low-frequency values.
We demonstrate dynamic voltage control of the magnetic anisotropy of a (Ga,Mn)As device bonded to a piezoelectric transducer. The application of a uniaxial strain leads to a large reorientation of the magnetic easy axis which is detected by measuring longitudinal and transverse anisotropic magnetoresistance coefficients. Calculations based on the mean-field kinetic-exchange model of (Ga,Mn)As provide microscopic understanding of the measured effect. Electrically induced magnetization switching and detection of unconventional crystalline components of the anisotropic magnetoresistance are presented, illustrating the generic utility of the piezo voltage control to provide new device functionalities and in the research of micromagnetic and magnetotransport phenomena in diluted magnetic semiconductors.

In recent years, observations of highly-ordered, hexagonal arrays of self-organized nanostructures on binary or impurity-laced targets under normal-incidence ion irradiation have excited interest in this phenomenon as a potential route to high-throug hput, low-cost manufacture of nanoscale devices or nanostructured coatings. The currently-prominent explanation for these structures is a morphological instability driven by ion erosion discovered by Bradley and Shipman; however, recent parameter estimates via molecular dynamics simulations suggest that this erosive instability may not be active for the representative GaSb system in which hexagonal structures were first observed. Motivated by experimental and numerical evidence suggesting the possible importance of phase separation in ion-irradiated compounds, we here generalize the Bradley-Shipman theory to include the effect of ion-assisted phase separation. The resulting system admits a chemically-driven finite-wavelength instability that can explain the order of observed patterns even when the erosive Bradley-Shipman instability, and in a relevant simplifying limit, provides an intuitive instability criteria that agrees qualitatively with experimental observations on pattern wavelengths. Finally, we identify a characteristic experimental signature that distinguishes the chemical and morphological instabilities, and highlights the need for specific additional experimental data on the GaSb system.
Spin transfer torque (STT) driven by a charge current plays a key role in magnetization switching in heavy-metal/ferromagnetic-metal structures. The STT efficiency defined by the ratio between the effective field due to STT and the current density, i s required to be improved to reduce energy compulsions in the STT-based spintronic devices. In this work, using the harmonic Hall measurement method, we experimentally studied the STT efficiency in platinum(Pt)/FM structures as a function of the Pt thickness. We found that the STT efficiency strongly depends on the Pt thickness and reaches a maximum value of 4.259 mT/($10^6$A/$cm^{2}$) for the 1.8-nm-thickness Pt sample. This result indicates that competition between spin Hall effect (SHE) and Rashba effect as well as spin diffusion process across the Pt layer determines the Pt thickness for the maximum STT efficiency. We demonstrated the role played by the spin diffusion besides the spin current generation mechanisms in improvement of the STT efficiency, which is helpful in designing STT-based devices.

We perform an extensive experimental spectroscopic study of the collective spin-wave dynamics occurring in a pair of magnetic nano-disks coupled by the magneto-dipolar interaction. For this, we take advantage of the stray field gradient produced by t he magnetic tip of a ferromagnetic resonance force microscope (f-MRFM) to continuously tune and detune the relative resonance frequencies between two adjacent nano-objects. This reveals the anti-crossing and hybridization of the spin-wave modes in the pair of disks. At the exact tuning, the measured frequency splitting between the binding and anti-binding modes precisely corresponds to the strength of the dynamical dipolar coupling $Omega$. This accurate f-MRFM determination of $Omega$ is measured as a function of the separation between the nano-disks. It agrees quantitatively with calculations of the expected dynamical magneto-dipolar interaction in our sample.
