Titanium disulfide TiS$_2$, which is a member of the layered transition-metal dichalcogenides with the 1T-CdI$_2$-type crystal structure, is known to exhibit a wide variety of magnetism through intercalating various kinds of transition-metal atoms of different concentrations. Among them, Fe-intercalated titanium disulfide Fe$_x$TiS$_2$ is known to be ferromagnetic with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and large coercive fields ($H_text{c}$). In order to study the microscopic origin of the magnetism of this compound, we have performed X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements on single crystals of heavily intercalated Fe$_x$TiS$_2$ ($xsim0.5$). The grown single crystals showed a strong PMA with a large $H_text{c}$ of $mu_0H_text{c} simeq 1.0 text{T}$. XAS and XMCD spectra showed that Fe is fully in the valence states of 2+ and that Ti is in an itinerant electronic state, indicating electron transfer from the intercalated Fe atoms to the host TiS$_2$ bands. The Fe$^{2+}$ ions were shown to have a large orbital magnetic moment of $simeq 0.59 mu_text{B}text{/Fe}$, to which, combined with the spin-orbit interaction and the trigonal crystal field, we attribute the strong magnetic anisotropy of Fe$_x$TiS$_2$.

We present a study of the of thermal transport in thin single crystals of iron-intercalated titanium disulphide, Fe$_{x}$TiS$_2$ for $0leq x leq 0.20$. We determine the distribution of intercalants using high-resolution crystallographic and magnetic measurements, confirming the insertion of Fe without long-range ordering. We find that iron intercalation perturbs the lattice very little, and suppresses the tendency of TiS$_2$ to self-intercalate with excess Ti. We observe trends in the thermal conductivity that are compatible with our ab initio calculations of thermal transport in perfectly stoichiometric TiS$_2$.
We investigated perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and related properties of epitaxial Fe (0.7 nm)/MgAl2O4(001) heterostructures prepared by electron-beam evaporation. Using an optimized structure, we obtained a large PMA energy ~1 MJ/m3 at room temperature, comparable to that in ultrathin-Fe/MgO(001) heterostructures. Both the PMA energy and saturation magnetization show weak temperature dependence, ensuring wide working temperature in application. The effective magnetic damping constant of the 0.7 nm Fe layer was ~0.02 using time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect. This study demonstrates capability of the Fe/MgAl2O4 heterostructure for perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions, as well as a good agreement with theoretical predictions.
In this work we report the appearence of a large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in Fe$_{1-x}$Ga$_x$ thin films grown onto ZnSe/GaAs(100). This arising anisotropy is related to the tetragonal metastable phase in as-grown samples recently repo rted [M. Eddrief {it et al.}, Phys. Rev. B {bf 84}, 161410 (2011)]. By means of ferromagnetic resonance studies we measured PMA values up to $sim$ 5$times$10$^5$ J/m$^3$. PMA vanishes when the cubic structure is recovered upon annealing at 300$^{circ}$C. Despite the important values of the magnetoelastic constants measured via the cantilever method, the consequent magnetoelastic contribution to PMA is not enough to explain the observed anisotropy values in the distorted state. {it Ab initio} calculations show that the chemical ordering plays a crucial role in the appearance of PMA. Through a phenomenological model we are able to explain that an excess of next nearest neighbour Ga pairs (B$_2$-like ordering) along the perpendicular direction arises as the source of PMA in Fe$_{1-x}$Ga$_x$ thin films.
We calculate magnetic anisotropy energy of Fe and Ni by taking into account the effects of strong electronic correlations, spin-orbit coupling, and non-collinearity of intra-atomic magnetization. The LDA+U method is used and its equivalence to dynami cal mean-field theory in the static limit is derived. The effects of strong correlations are studied along several paths in $(U,J)$ parameter space. Both experimental magnitude of MAE and direction of magnetization are predicted correctly near $U=1.9 eV$, $J=1.2 eV$ for Ni and $U=1.2 eV$, $J=0.8 eV$ for Fe. The modified one-electron spectra by strong correlations are emphasized in conjunction with magnetic anisotropy.

Substantial amounts of the transition metals Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni can be substituted for Li in single crystalline Li$_2$(Li$_{1-x}T_x$)N. Isothermal and temperature-dependent magnetization measurements reveal local magnetic moments with magnitudes sign ificantly exceeding the spin-only value. The additional contributions stem from unquenched orbital moments that lead to rare-earth-like behavior of the magnetic properties. Accordingly, extremely large magnetic anisotropies have been found. Most notably, the magnetic anisotropy alternates as easy-plane $rightarrow$ easy-axis $rightarrow$ easy-plane $rightarrow$ easy-axis when progressing from $T$ = Mn $rightarrow$ Fe $rightarrow$ Co $rightarrow$ Ni. This behavior can be understood based on a perturbation approach in an analytical, single-ion model. The calculated magnetic anisotropies show a surprisingly good agreement with the experiment and capture the basic features observed for the different transition metals.
