We report on the formation of the dilute $Pd_{1-x}Fe_x$ compositions with tunable magnetic properties under an ion-beam implantation of epitaxial Pd thin films. Binary $Pd_{1-x}Fe_x$ alloys with a mean iron content $x$ of $0.025$, $0.035$ or $0.075$ were obtained by the implantation of $40 keV$ $Fe^+$ ions into the palladium films on MgO (001) substrate to the doses of $0.5cdot10^{16}, 1.0cdot10^{16}$ and $3.0cdot10^{16}$ $ions/cm^2$, respectively. Structural and magnetic studies have shown that iron atoms occupy regular fcc-lattice Pd-sites without the formation of any secondary crystallographic phase. All the iron implanted Pd films reveal ferromagnetism at low temperatures (below $200 K$) with both the Curie temperature and saturation magnetization determined by the implanted iron dose. In contrast to the magnetic properties of the molecular beam epitaxy grown $Pd_{1-x}Fe_x$ alloy films with the similar iron contents, the Fe-implanted Pd films possess weaker in-plane magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and, accordingly, a lower coercivity. The observed multiple ferromagnetic resonances in the implanted $Pd_{1-x}Fe_x$ films indicate a formation of a magnetically inhomogeneous state due to spinodal decomposition into regions, presumably layers, with identical crystal symmetry but different iron contents. The multiphase magnetic structure is robust with respect to the vacuum annealing at $770 K$, though develops towards well-defined local $Pd-Fe$ compositions.

Insulating uniaxial room-temperature ferromagnets are a prerequisite for commonplace spin wave-based devices, the obstacle in contemporary ferromagnets being the coupling of ferromagnetism with large conductivity. We show that the uniaxial $A^{1+2x}$ Ti$^{4+}$$_{1-x}$O$_3$ (ATO), $A=$Ni$^{2+}$,Co$^{2+}$ and $0.6<x leq 1$, thin films are electrically insulating ferromagnets already at room-temperature. The octahedra network of the ATO and ilmenite structures are similar yet different octahedra-filling proved to be a route to switch from the antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic regime. Octahedra can continuously be filled up to $x=1$, or vacated $(-0.24<x<0)$ in the ATO structure. TiO-layers, which separate the ferromagnetic (Ni,Co)O-layers and intermediate the antiferromagnetic coupling between the ferromagnetic layers in the NiTiO$_3$ and CoTiO$_3$ ilmenites, can continuously be replaced by (Ni,Co)O-layers to convert the ATO-films to ferromagnetic insulator with abundant direct cation interactions.

We report on nanoscale strain gradients in ferroelectric HoMnO3 epitaxial thin films, resulting in a giant flexoelectric effect. Using grazing-incidence in-plane X-ray diffraction, we measured strain gradients in the films, which were 6 or 7 orders o f magnitude larger than typical values reported for bulk oxides. The combination of transmission electron microscopy, electrical measurements, and electrostatic calculations showed that flexoelectricity provides a means of tuning the physical properties of ferroelectric epitaxial thin films, such as domain configurations and hysteresis curves.
Magnetodynamics in epitaxial Fe1-xCox films on GaAs (100) are studied using time-resolved ferromagnetic resonance, in which the free precession of the magnetization after an impulsive excitation is measured using the polar Kerr effect. The sample is rotated with respect to the static and pulsed field directions, providing a complete mapping of the free energy surface and characteristic relaxation times. The magnetic response can be simulated with a simple coherent rotation model except in the immediate vicinity of switching fields. Bulk and surface anisotropies are identified, and unusual dynamics associated with the coexistence of cubic and uniaxial anisotropies are observed.
Doping ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 with La is a promising route to improve endurance. However, the beneficial effect of La on the endurance of polycrystalline films may be accompanied by degradation of the retention. We have investigated the endurance - retention dilemma in La-doped epitaxial films. Compared to undoped epitaxial films, large values of polarization are obtained in a wider thickness range, whereas the coercive fields are similar, and the leakage current is substantially reduced. Compared to polycrystalline La-doped films, epitaxial La-doped films show more fatigue but there is not significant wake-up effect and endurance-retention dilemma. The persistent wake-up effect common to polycrystalline La-doped Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 films, is limited to a few cycles in epitaxial films. Despite fatigue, endurance in epitaxial La-doped films is more than 1010 cycles, and this good property is accompanied by excellent retention of more than 10 years. These results demonstrate that wake-up effect and endurance-retention dilemma are not intrinsic in La-doped Hf0.5Zr0.5O2.
