The interaction energy for the indirect-exchange or Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuva-Yosida (RKKY) interaction between magnetic spins localized on lattice sites of the $alpha$-${cal T}_3$ model is calculated using linear response theory. In this model, the $texttt{AB}$-honeycomb lattice structure is supplemented with $texttt{C}$ atoms at the centers of the hexagonal lattice. This introduces a parameter $alpha$ for the ratio of the hopping integral from hub-to-rim and that around the rim of the hexagonal lattice. A valley and $alpha$-dependent retarded Greens function matrix is used to form the susceptibility. Analytic and numerical results are obtained for undoped $alpha$-${cal T}_3$, when the chemical potential is finite and also in the presence of an applied magnetic field. We demonstrate the anisotropy of these results when the magnetic impurities are placed on the $texttt{A,B}$ and $texttt{C}$ sublattice sites. Additionally, comparison of the behavior of the susceptibility of $alpha$-${cal T}_3$ with graphene shows that there is a phase transition at $alpha=0$.

We predict the occurrence of Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity of dipolar magnetoexcitons for a pair of quasi-two-dimensional spatially separated $alpha$-${cal T}_3$ layers. We have solved a two-body problem for an electron and a hole for the model Hamiltonian for the $alpha$-${cal T}_3$ double layer in a magnetic field. The energy dispersion of collective excitations, the spectrum of sound velocity, and the effective magnetic mass of magnetoexcitons are obtained in the integer quantum Hall regime for high magnetic fields. The superfluid density and the temperature of the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition are probed as functions of the excitonic density, magnetic field, and the inter-layer separation.
The spin chemical potential characterizes the tendency of spins to diffuse. Probing the spin chemical potential could provide insight into materials such as magnetic insulators and spin liquids and aid optimization of spintronic devices. Here, we int roduce single-spin magnetometry as a generic platform for non-perturbative, nanoscale characterization of spin chemical potentials. We use this platform to investigate magnons in a magnetic insulator, surprisingly finding that the magnon chemical potential can be efficiently controlled by driving the systems ferromagnetic resonance. We introduce a symmetry-based two-fluid theory describing the underlying magnon processes, realize the first experimental determination of the local thermomagnonic torque, and illustrate the detection sensitivity using electrically controlled spin injection. Our results open the way for nanoscale control and imaging of spin transport in mesoscopic spin systems.
At the LaAlO$_3$-SrTiO$_3$ interface, electronic phase transitions can be triggered by modulation of the charge carrier density, making this system an excellent prospect for the realization of versatile electronic devices. Here, we report repeatable transistor operation in locally gated LaAlO$_3$-SrTiO$_3$ field-effect devices of which the LaAlO$_3$ dielectric is only four unit cells thin, the critical thickness for conduction at this interface. This extremely thin dielectric allows a very efficient charge modulation of ${sim}3.2times10^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$ within a gate-voltage window of $pm1$ V, as extracted from capacitance-voltage measurements. These also reveal a large stray capacitance between gate and source, presenting a complication for nanoscale device operation. Despite the small LaAlO$_3$ thickness, we observe a negligible gate leakage current, which we ascribe to the extension of the conducting states into the SrTiO$_3$ substrate.
We address the issue of inter-particle dipolar interactions in the context of magnetic hyperthermia. More precisely, the main question dealt with here is concerned with the conditions under which the specific absorption rate is enhanced or reduced by dipolar interactions. For this purpose, we propose a theory for the calculation of the AC susceptibility, and thereby the specific absorption rate, for a monodisperse two-dimensional assembly of nanoparticles with oriented anisotropy, in the presence of a DC magnetic field, in addition to the AC magnetic field. We also study the competition between the dipolar interactions and the DC field, both in the transverse and longitudinal configurations. In both cases, we find that the specific absorption rate has a maximum at some critical DC field that depends on the inter-particle separation. In the longitudinal setup, this critical field falls well within the range of experiments.
We probe the local inhomogeneities of the electronic properties of graphene at the nanoscale using scanning probe microscopy techniques. First, we focus on the study of the electronic inhomogeneities caused by the graphene-substrate interaction in gr aphene samples exfoliated on silicon oxide. We find that charged impurities, present in the graphene-substrate interface, perturb the carrier density significantly and alter the electronic properties of graphene. This finding helps to understand the observed device-to-device variation typically observed in graphene-based electronic devices. Second, we probe the effect of chemical modification in the electronic properties of graphene, grown by chemical vapour deposition on nickel. We find that both the chemisorption of hydrogen and the physisorption of porphyrin molecules strongly depress the conductance at low bias indicating the opening of a bandgap in graphene, paving the way towards the chemical engineering of the electronic properties of graphene.
