We have performed magnetotransport measurements in CeTe$_{3}$ thin films down to $0.2~{rm K}$. It is known that CeTe$_{3}$ has two magnetic transitions at $T_{rm N1} approx 3~{rm K}$ and $T_{rm N2} approx 1~{rm K}$. A clear Shubnikov-de-Haas (SdH) oscillation was observed at $4~{rm K}$, demonstrating the strong two-dimensional nature in this material. Below $T_{rm N2}$, the SdH oscillation has two frequencies, indicating that the Fermi surface could be slightly modulated due to the second magnetic transition. We also observed a magnetic hysteresis in the SdH oscillation below $T_{rm N1}$. Especially, there is a unique spike in the magnetoresistance at $B approx 0.6~{rm T}$ only when the magnetic field is swept from a high enough field (more than $2~{rm T}$) to zero field.

The magnetic behavior of truncated conical nanoparticles in patterned thin films is investigated as a function of their size and shape. Using a scaling technique, phase diagrams giving the relative stability of characteristic internal magnetic struct ures of the particles are obtained. The role of the uniaxial anisotropy in determining the magnetic properties of such systems is discussed, and a simple method for stablishing its strength is proposed.

The quantized version of anomalous Hall effect realized in magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) has great potential for the development of topological quantum physics and low-power electronic/spintronic applications. To enable dissipationless chira l edge conduction at zero magnetic field, effective exchange field arisen from the aligned magnetic dopants needs to be large enough to yield specific spin sub-band configurations. Here we report the thickness-tailored quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect in Cr-doped (Bi,Sb)2Te3 thin films by tuning the system across the two-dimensional (2D) limit. In addition to the Chern number-related metal-to-insulator QAH phase transition, we also demonstrate that the induced hybridization gap plays an indispensable role in determining the ground magnetic state of the MTIs, namely the spontaneous magnetization owning to considerable Van Vleck spin susceptibility guarantees the zero-field QAH state with unitary scaling law in thick samples, while the quantization of the Hall conductance can only be achieved with the assistance of external magnetic fields in ultra-thin films. The modulation of topology and magnetism through structural engineering may provide a useful guidance for the pursuit of QAH-based new phase diagrams and functionalities.
The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), being one of the origins for chiral magnetism, is currently attracting huge attention in the research community focusing on applied magnetism and spintronics. For future applications an accurate measuremen t of its strength is indispensable. In this work, we present a review of the state of the art of measuring the coefficient $D$ of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, the DMI constant, focusing on systems where the interaction arises from the interface between two materials. The measurement techniques are divided into three categories: a) domain wall based measurements, b) spin wave based measurements and c) spin orbit torque based measurements. We give an overview of the experimental techniques as well as their theoretical background and models for the quantification of the DMI constant $D$. We analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each method and compare $D$ values in different stacks. The review aims to obtain a better understanding of the applicability of the different techniques to different stacks and of the origin of apparent disagreement of literature values.
We utilize spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) measurements to experimentally investigate the pure spin current transport and magnetic properties of nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4,NFO)/normal metal (NM) thin film heterostructures. We use (001)-oriented NFO th in films grown on lattice-matched magnesium gallate substrates by pulsed laser deposition, which significantly improves the magnetic and structural properties of the ferrimagnetic insulator. The NM in our experiments is either Pt or Ta. A comparison of the obtained SMR magnitude for charge currents applied in the [100]- and [110]-direction of NFO yields a change of 50% for Pt at room temperature. We also investigated the temperature dependence of this current direction anisotropy and find that it is qualitatively different for the conductivity and the SMR magnitude. From our results we conclude that the observed current direction anisotropy may originate from an anisotropy of the spin mixing conductance or of the spin Hall effect in these Pt and Ta layers, and/or additional spin-galvanic contributions from the NFO/NM interface.
The knowledge of how the magnetization looks inside a ferromagnet is often hindered by the limitations of the available experimental methods that are sensitive only to the surface regions or limited in spatial resolution. We report the 3D tomographic reconstruction of the magnetization within a ferromagnetic film of 240 nm in thickness using soft X ray microscopy and magnetic dichroism. The film has periodic magnetic domains forming stripes and closure domains found to be shifted from the stripe array by 1/4 of the period. In addition, the bifurcations of the stripes, which act as inversion nuclei of the magnetization, evidence in 3D meron singularities and Bloch points at the interior of the film. This novel method can be easily extended to magnetic stacks in spintronics applications and other singularities in films.
