Physical Review B, 94(7), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.94.075205

For the prototype diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As, there is a fundamental concern about the electronic states near the Fermi level, i.e., whether the Fermi level resides in a well-separated impurity band derived from Mn doping (impurity...

Spin-lattice coupling is one of the most prominent interactions mediating response of spin ensemble to ultrafast optical excitation. Here we exploit optically generated coherent and incoherent phonons to drive coherent spin dynamics, i.e. precession,...

Ultrafast changes of magnetic anisotropy driven by laser-generated coherent and noncoherent phonons in metallic films (2016)
Journal Article

Physical Review B, 93(21), Article 214422. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.93.214422

Ultrafast optical excitation of a metal ferromagnetic film results in a modification of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy and induces the magnetization precession. We consider two main contributions to these processes: an effect of noncoherent phonon...

We present detailed studies of critical behavior in the strongly site-disordered dilute ferromagnetic semiconductor
(Ga,Mn)As. (Ga,Mn)As has a low saturation magnetization and relatively strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy. This combination of prop... Read More about Three-dimensional Heisenberg critical behavior in the highly disordered dilute ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As.

Electrical switching of an antiferromagnet. Science, 351(6273), 587-590. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aab1031

Antiferromagnets are hard to control by external magnetic fields because of the alternating directions of magnetic moments on individual atoms and the resulting zero net magnetization. However, relativistic quantum mechanics allows for generating cur... Read More about Electrical switching of an antiferromagnet.
