Self consistent renormalization theory of itinerant ferromagnets is used to calculate the Curie temperature of clusters down to approximately 100 atoms in size. In these clusters the electrons responsible for the magnetic properties are assumed to be (weakly) itinerant. It is shown that the Curie temperature can be larger than in the bulk. The effect originates from the phenomenon of level repulsion in chaotic quantum systems, which suppresses spin fluctuations. Since the latter destroy the magnetic order the resulting Curie temperature increases, contrary to expectations of the naive Stoner picture. The calculations are done assuming that the energy levels of the cluster are described by the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble of random matrix theory.
We report on an enhancement of the Curie temperature in GaMnAs/InGaMnAs superlattices grown by low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy, which is due to thin InGaMnAs or InGaAs films embedded into the GaMnAs layers. The pronounced increase of the Curie
We present a comparative, theoretical study of the doping dependence of the critical temperature $T_C$ of the ferromagnetic insulator-metal transition in Gd-doped and O-deficient EuO, respectively. The strong $T_C$ enhancement in Eu$_{1-x}$Gd$_x$O is
The Curie temperature is one of the most fundamental physical properties of ferromagnetic materials and can be described by Weiss molecular field theory with the exchange interaction of neighboring atoms. Recently, the electric-field-induced modulati
We develop a comprehensive theory for magnetoelectricity in magnetically ordered quasi-2D systems whereby in thermal equilibrium an electric field can induce a magnetization $m$ and a magnetic field can induce a polarization. This effect requires tha
Point-contact spectroscopy is applied to study the energy dependence of paramagnetic impurities in noble metals. The samples are in the form of the so-called mechanically controllable break-junctions where the investigated piece of alloy makes a nano
