We present a simple, general energy functional for ferromagnetic materials based upon a local spin density extension to the Stoner theory of itinerant ferromagnetism. The functional reproduces well available ab initio results and experimental interfacial energies for grain boundaries in iron. The model shows that inter-granular cohesion along symmetric tilt boundaries in iron is dependent upon strong magnetic structure at the interface, illuminates the mechanisms underlying this structure, and provides a simple explanation for relaxation of the atomic structure at these boundaries.

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnets provide an ideal platform for exploring, on the fundamental side, new microscopic mechanisms and for developing, on the technological side, ultra-compact spintronic applications. So far, bilinear spin Hamiltonians have been commonly adopted to investigate the magnetic properties of 2D magnets, neglecting higher order magnetic interactions. However, we here provide quantitative evidence of giant biquadratic exchange interactions in monolayer NiX2 (X=Cl, Br and I), by combining first-principles calculations and the newly developed machine learning method for constructing Hamiltonian. Interestingly, we show that the ferromagnetic ground state within NiCl2 single layers cannot be explained by means of bilinear Heisenberg Hamiltonian; rather, the nearest-neighbor biquadratic interaction is found to be crucial. Furthermore, using a three-orbitals Hubbard model, we propose that the giant biquadratic exchange interaction originates from large hopping between unoccupied and occupied orbitals on neighboring magnetic ions. On a general framework, our work suggests biquadratic exchange interactions to be important in 2D magnets with edge-shared octahedra.

The amorphous iron-germanium system ($a$-Fe$_x$Ge$_{1-x}$) lacks long-range structural order and hence lacks a meaningful Brillouin zone. The magnetization of aFeGe is well explained by the Stoner model for Fe concentrations $x$ above the onset of ma gnetic order around $x=0.4$, indicating that the local order of the amorphous structure preserves the spin-split density of states of the Fe-$3d$ states sufficiently to polarize the electronic structure despite $mathbf{k}$ being a bad quantum number. Measurements reveal an enhanced anomalous Hall resistivity $rho_{xy}^{mathrm{AH}}$ relative to crystalline FeGe; this $rho_{xy}^{mathrm{AH}}$ is compared to density functional theory calculations of the anomalous Hall conductivity to resolve its underlying mechanisms. The intrinsic mechanism, typically understood as the Berry curvature integrated over occupied $mathbf{k}$-states but shown here to be equivalent to the density of curvature integrated over occupied energies in aperiodic materials, dominates the anomalous Hall conductivity of $a$-Fe$_x$Ge$_{1-x}$ ($0.38 leq x leq 0.61$). The density of curvature is the sum of spin-orbit correlations of local orbital states and can hence be calculated with no reference to $mathbf{k}$-space. This result and the accompanying Stoner-like model for the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity establish a unified understanding of the underlying physics of the anomalous Hall effect in both crystalline and disordered systems.
We present a x-ray dichroism study of graphite surfaces that addresses the origin and magnitude of ferromagnetism in metal-free carbon. We find that, in addition to carbon $pi$ states, also hydrogen-mediated electronic states exhibit a net spin polar ization with significant magnetic remanence at room temperature. The observed magnetism is restricted to the top $approx$10 nm of the irradiated sample where the actual magnetization reaches $ simeq 15$ emu/g at room temperature. We prove that the ferromagnetism found in metal-free untreated graphite is intrinsic and has a similar origin as the one found in proton bombarded graphite.
Weak itinerant ferromagnetism in YCo9Si4 below about 25 K is studied by means of magnetisation, specific heat, and resistivity measurements. Single crystal X-ray Rietveld refinements at room temperature reveal a fully ordered distribution of Y, Co an d Si atoms within the tetragonal space group I4/mcm isostructural with LaCo9Si4. The latter exhibits itinerant electron metamagnetism with an induced moment of about 1 mu_B/f.u. above 6 T, whereas YCo9Si4 exhibits a spontaneous magnetisation M0~12 Am^2/kg at 2 K which corresponds to an ordered moment of about 1.6 mu_B/f.u. indicating weak itinerant ferromagnetism.
We demonstrate that room temperature ferromagnetic response (RT FR) of ZnCoO films grown at low temperature by the Atomic layer Deposition (ALD) method is due to Co metal accumulations at the ZnCoO/substrate interface region. The accumulated experime ntal evi evidences allow us to reject several other explanations of this effect in our samples, despite the fact that some of them are likely to be responsible for the low temperature FM in this class of the material.
