An antidamping spin–orbit torque originating from the Berry curvature (2014)
Journal Article
Kurebayashi, H., Sinova, J., Fang, D., Irvine, A. C., Skinner, T. D., Wunderlich, J., …Jungwirth, T. (2014). An antidamping spin–orbit torque originating from the Berry curvature. Nature Nanotechnology, 9(3), 211-217. https://doi.org/10.1038/nnano.2014.15

Magnetization switching at the interface between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic metals, controlled by current-induced torques, could be exploited in magnetic memory technologies. Compelling questions arise regarding the role played in the switching b... Read More about An antidamping spin–orbit torque originating from the Berry curvature.

Dynamics of a vertical cavity quantum cascade phonon laser structure (2013)
Journal Article

Observations of orthogonal orientations demonstrate the development of banded contrast features on inclined {-1-1-1}B planes for the [110] projection within micron thick samples, attributed to a compositional fluctuation in the Mn content. The relat... Read More about Structural characterisation of spintronic GaMnAs and GaMnN heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy.
