Magnetoelectric multiferroics are promising candidates for fast, dense and cooler electronics. Numerous oxide perovskites are either magnets or traditional ferroelectrics but only a few of them display both types of order and magneto-electric coupling in a single phase. Ferromagnetic-ferroelectric or ferromagnetic-piezoelectric thin film heterostructures of oxide perovskites provide an...
Shapeable magneto-electronics is the new trends in spintronics due to the growing market of flexible electronic devices. In this context we have deposited perpendicularly magnetized Co(0.7nm)/Pt thin film on flexible substrates like Polyimide film (25 µm thick) and Kapton tapes. We observed that magnetic anisotropy is tunable via variable strain. However the domain shape may or may not change...
Artificial heterostructures with alternating superconducting (S) and ferromagnetic (F) layers are currently attracting great attention due to a diverse set of proximity effects, including $\pi$-phase superconductivity and triplet pairing [1]. The ability to control magnetic state by superconductivity is attracting attention in applied research on superconducting spintronics [2] including such...
Material development holds promise as the basis of topological quantum computing with Majorana fermions. These quasiparticles have been predicted at ends of semiconductor nanowires (NWs) coupled to conventional superconductors. This prediction was followed by a series of experiments providing strong evidence. However, in the current system, an external magnetic field along the NW axis is...
