Magnetism of 3d transition metals at high density has always received wide interest due to existence of magnetism at the core of the Earth. For ferromagnetic cobalt, although there is a theoretical prediction that its magnetic moment would vanish when the density increases to about 1.4 times the normal value, so far there is no experimental evidence. We have discovered the existence of ultrathin superdense nonmagnetic cobalt layers in a polycrystalline cobalt thin film. The densities of these layers are about 1.3-1.4 times the normal density of Co. This has been revealed by X-ray reflectometry experiments, which provide a depth profile of the electron scattering length density, and corroborated by polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) experiments. The superdense Co layer has an fcc structure, unlike hcp structure for bulk Co, as revealed by transmission electron microscopy. The magnetic depth profile, obtained by PNR, shows that the superdense Co layers at the film-substrate interface and near the top of the film are nonmagnetic. The major part of the Co film has the usual density and magnetic moment.

We synthesized pure and Co-doped (6.25 12.5 at.) ZrO$_2$ nanopowders in order to study their magnetic properties.We analyzed magnetic behavior as a function of the amount of Co and the oxygenation, which was controlled by low pressure thermal treatme
nts. As prepared pure and Co-doped samples are diamagnetic and paramagnetic respectively. Ferromagnetism can be induced by performing low pressure thermal treatments, which becomes stronger as the dwell time of the thermal treatment is increased. This behavior can be reversed, recovering the initial diamagnetic or paramagnetic behavior, by performing reoxidizing thermal treatments. Also, a cumulative increase can be observed in the saturation of the magnetization with the number of low pressure thermal treatments performed. We believe that this phenomenon indicates that cobalt segregation induced by the thermal treatments is the responsible for the magnetic properties of the ZrO$_2$ Co system.
Cobalt nitride (Co-N) thin films prepared using a reactive magnetron sputtering process by varying the relative nitrogen gas flow (pn) are studied in this work. As pn~increases, Co(N), tcn, Co$_3$N and CoN phases are formed. An incremental increase i
n pn, after emergence of tcn~phase at pn=10p, results in a continuous expansion in the lattice constant ($a$) of tcn. For pn=30p, $a$ maximizes and becomes comparable to its theoretical value. An expansion in $a$ of tcn, results in an enhancement of magnetic moment, to the extent that it becomes even larger than pure Co. Though such higher (than pure metal) magnetic moment for Fe$_4$N thin films have been theoretically predicted and evidenced experimentally, higher (than pure Co) magnetic moment are evidenced in this work and explained in terms of large-volume high-moment model for tetra metal nitrides.
We have used polarized neutron reflectometry to study the structural and magnetic properties of the individual layers in a series of (Al,Be,Ga)As/(Ga,Mn)As/GaAs/(Ga,Mn)As multilayer samples. Structurally, we observe that the samples are virtually ide
ntical except for the GaAs spacer thickness (which varies from 3-12 nm), and confirm that the spacers contain little or no Mn. Magnetically, we observe that for the sample with the thickest spacer layer, modulation doping by the(Al,Be,Ga)As results in (Ga,Mn)As layers with very different temperature dependent magnetizations. However, as the spacer layer thickness is reduced, the temperature dependent magnetizations of the top an bottom (Ga,Mn)As layers become progressively more similar - a trend we find to be independent of the crystallographic direction along which spins are magnetized. These results definitively show that (Ga,Mn)As layers can couple across a non-magnetic spacer, and that such coupling depends on spacer thickness.
Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spin pumping is a rapidly growing field which has demonstrated promising results in a variety of material systems. This technique utilizes the resonant precession of magnetization in a ferromagnet to inject spin into an
adjacent non-magnetic material. Spin pumping into graphene is attractive on account of its exceptional spin transport properties. This article reports on FMR characterization of cobalt grown on CVD graphene and examines the validity of linewidth broadening as an indicator of spin pumping. In comparison to cobalt samples without graphene, direct contact cobalt-on-graphene exhibits increased FMR linewidth--an often used signature of spin pumping. Similar results are obtained in Co/MgO/graphene structures, where a 1nm MgO layer acts as a tunnel barrier. However, SQUID, MFM, and Kerr microscopy measurements demonstrate increased magnetic disorder in cobalt grown on graphene, perhaps due to changes in the growth process and an increase in defects. This magnetic disorder may account for the observed linewidth enhancement due to effects such as two-magnon scattering or mosaicity. As such, it is not possible to conclude successful spin injection into graphene from FMR linewidth measurements alone.
The structure and magnetic properties of Co clusters, comprising from 26 to 2700 atoms, self-organized or not on the graphene/Ir(111) moire, were studied in situ with the help of scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. Su
rprisingly the small clusters have almost no magnetic anisotropy. We find indication for a magnetic coupling between the clusters. Experiments have to be performed carefully so as to avoid cluster damage by the soft X-rays.
