Single phase nickel-cobalt-titanate thin films with a formula A1+2xTi1-xO3, where A is Ni2+,Co2+ and -0.25<x<1, were grown by pulsed laser deposition on sapphire substrates. There is a large window in which both Ni/Co ratio and x can be chosen independently. In the prototype ilmenite and corundum structures one third of the octahedra are vacant. The reported structure is obtained by filling vacant (x>0) or emptying filled (x<0) octahedra. When x = 1 all octahedra are filled. Two factors controlling the magnetism and crystal distortion are identified. First is a direct overlap between the adjacent cation d-orbitals resulting in a bond formation and magnetic interactions between the cations. This is most clearly revealed as a crystal distortion in the x approximately 0 compositions with approximately equal amounts of Ni and Co: the distortion of the x approximately 0 compound is a function of Ni/Co ratio. The second factor is x, which controls the cation shift towards a vacant octahedron. The displacement decreases and the symmetry increases with decreasing Ti content as was revealed by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. When all octahedra are filled the cations prefer octahedron center positions. Also the number density of cations has increased by a factor of 50 percent when compared to the ilmenite structure. The number density ratios of Ni/Co cations between x=1 and x=0 compounds is 3. The Raman and x-ray diffraction data collected on samples with x = 1 or close to 1 are interpreted in terms of P63/mmc space group.

Spintronics, which is the basis of a low-power, beyond-CMOS technology for computational and memory devices, remains up to now entirely based on critical materials such as Co, heavy metals and rare-earths. Here, we show that Mn4N, a rare-earth free f errimagnet made of abundant elements, is an exciting candidate for the development of sustainable spintronics devices. Mn4N thin films grown epitaxially on SrTiO3 substrates possess remarkable properties, such as a perpendicular magnetisation, a very high extraordinary Hall angle (2%) and smooth domain walls, at the millimeter scale. Moreover, domain walls can be moved at record speeds by spin polarised currents, in absence of spin-orbit torques. This can be explained by the large efficiency of the adiabatic spin transfer torque, due to the conjunction of a reduced magnetisation and a large spin polarisation. Finally, we show that the application of gate voltages through the SrTiO3 substrates allows modulating the Mn4N coercive field with a large efficiency.
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 synthesized bismuth - cobalt oxide doped by erbium with general formula Bi3-xErxCoO3-y. Compound has structure of delta-form bismuth oxide. Magnetic properties of the compound were measured by Faradays method using quartz scales in the temperature range of 80-500 K. The magnetic susceptibility and effective magnetic moment were calculated.

The design and fabrication of materials that exhibit both semiconducting and magnetic properties for spintronics and quantum computing has proven difficult. Important starting points are high-purity thin films as well as fundamental theoretical under standing of the magnetism. Here we show that small molecules have great potential in this area, due to ease of insertion of localised spins in organic frameworks and both chemical and structural purity. In particular, we demonstrate that archetypal molecular semiconductors, namely the metal phthalocyanines (Pc), can be readily fabricated as thin film quantum antiferromagnets, important precursors to a solid state quantum computer. Their magnetic state can be switched via fabrication steps which modify the film structure, offering practical routes into information processing. Theoretical calculations show that a new mechanism, which is the molecular analogue of the interactions between magnetic ions in metals, is responsible for the magnetic states. Our combination of theory and experiments opens the field of organic thin film magnetic engineering.
The Landau theory of phase transitions of Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 thin film under external electric field applied in the planar geometry is developed. The interfacial van-der-Waals field Ez=1.1x10^8 V/m oriented normal to the film-substrate interface was intr oduced in to the model calculation to explain experimentally observed behavior of the polarization as a function of planar electric field. The Ez - misfit strain phase diagram of the film is constructed and discussed.
