Two magnetic phase transitions have been noted for SrCoO$_{3-y}$ for near-stoichiometric oxygen concentrations (small y). Using muon spin rotation and neutron scattering experiments, we have established that the two transitions represent separate, spatially distinct magnetic phases that coexist in a two-phase equilibrium mixture. The two phases most likely represent areas of the sample with different effective valence charge density. Further, the phases exist over regions with a length scale intermediate between nanoscale charge inhomogeneity and systems such as manganites or super-oxygenated cuprates with large length scale phase separation.

It has been well established that both in bulk at ambient pressure and for films under modest strains, cubic SrCoO$_{3-delta}$ ($delta < 0.2$) is a ferromagnetic metal. Recent theoretical work, however, indicates that a magnetic phase transition to a
n antiferromagnetic structure could occur under large strain accompanied by a metal-insulator transition. We have observed a strain-induced ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic phase transition in SrCoO$_{3-delta}$ films grown on DyScO$_3$ substrates, which provide a large tensile epitaxial strain, as compared to ferromagnetic films under lower tensile strain on SrTiO$_3$ substrates. Magnetometry results demonstrate the existence of antiferromagnetic spin correlations and neutron diffraction experiments provide a direct evidence for a G-type antiferromagnetic structure with Neel temperatures between $T_N sim 135,pm,10,K$ and $sim 325,pm,10,K$ depending on the oxygen content of the samples. Therefore, our data experimentally confirm the predicted strain-induced magnetic phase transition to an antiferromagnetic state for SrCoO$_{3-delta}$ thin films under large epitaxial strain.
We investigated theoretically electronic and magnetic properties of the perovskite material SrCoO$_{3-delta}$ with $deltaleq 0.15$ using a projector-augmented plane-wave method and a Greens function method. This material is known from various experim
ents to be ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature of 260$,$K to 305$,$K and a magnetic moment of 1.5${,mu_text{B}}$ to 3.0${,mu_text{B}}$. Applying the magnetic force theorem as it is formulated within Greens function method, we calculated for SrCoO$_{3-delta}$ the magnetic exchange parameters and estimated the Curie temperature. Including correlation effects by an effective $U$ parameter within the GGA$+U$ approach and verifying this by hybrid functional calculations, we obtained the Curie temperatures in dependence of the oxygen deficiency close to the experimental values.
Resonant soft X-ray scattering was used to determine the presence of more subtle orderings not detected in standard structural analyses. By tuning to specific Co absorption edges, arrangements particular to the electronic states of those elements are
enhanced. We have discovered an ordering commensurate to the lattice at the ($frac{1}{4}~frac{1}{4}~frac{1}{4}$) position. Incommensurate peaks near this position were also observed. The intensity of these peaks depends on the oxygen concentration of the sample, and can be suppressed at temperatures above 320 K. Regular orderings of charge density which closely match the underlying lattice may help to explain the observed propensity for SrCoO$_{3-y}$ (0 $leq$ y $leqfrac{1}{2}$) to stabilize at particular phases.
Materials hosting magnetic skyrmions at room temperature could enable new computing architectures as well as compact and energetically efficient magnetic storage such as racetrack memories. In a racetrack device, information is coded by the presence/
absence of magnetic skyrmions forming a chain that is moved through the device. The skyrmion Hall effect that would eventually lead to an annihilation of the skyrmions at the edges of the racetrack can be suppressed for example by anti-ferromagnetically-coupled skyrmions. However, avoiding modifications of the inter-skyrmion distances in the racetrack remains challenging. As a solution to this issue, a chain of bits could also be encoded by two different solitons such as a skyrmion and a chiral bobber. The major limitation of this approach is that it has solely been realized in B20-type single crystalline material systems that support skyrmions only at low temperatures, thus hindering the efficacy for future applications. Here we demonstrate that a hybrid ferro/ferri/ferromagnetic multilayer system can host two distinct skyrmion phases at room temperature. By matching quantitative magnetic force microscopy data with micromagnetic simulations, we reveal that the two phases represent tubular skyrmions and partial skyrmions (similar to skyrmion bobbers). Furthermore, the tubular skyrmion can be converted into a partial skyrmion. Such multilayer systems may thus serve as a platform for designing skyrmion memory applications using distinct types of skyrmions and potentially for storing information using the vertical dimension in a thin film device.
The magnetic state of heavy metal Pt thin films in proximity to the ferrimagnetic insulator Y$_{3}$Fe$_{5}$O$_{12}$ has been investigated systematically by means of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and x-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity measuremen
ts combined with angle-dependent magnetotransport studies. To reveal intermixing effects as the possible cause for induced magnetic moments in Pt, we compare thin film heterostructures with different order of the layer stacking and different interface properties. For standard Pt layers on Y$_{3}$Fe$_{5}$O$_{12}$ thin films, we do not detect any static magnetic polarization in Pt. These samples show an angle-dependent magnetoresistance behavior, which is consistent with the established spin Hall magnetoresistance. In contrast, for the inverted layer sequence, Y$_{3}$Fe$_{5}$O$_{12}$ thin films grown on Pt layers, Pt displays a finite induced magnetic moment comparable to that of all-metallic Pt/Fe bilayers. This magnetic moment is found to originate from finite intermixing at the Y$_{3}$Fe$_{5}$O$_{12}$/Pt interface. As a consequence, we found a complex angle-dependent magnetoresistance indicating a superposition of the spin Hall and the anisotropic magnetoresistance in these type of samples. Both effects can be disentangled from each other due to their different angle dependence and their characteristic temperature evolution.
