Description
Complex transition metal oxides exhibit a correlation among their crystal magnetic and electronic orderings. Using advanced growth techniques one can tunee one ordering and influence other correlated ones, creating new macroscopic behaviors not existing in bulk. van der Waals magnetic materials naturally exhibit low dimensional magnetic, optical and transport properties. The novel physical properties appearing at low dimensions has led to a large interest in these systems. These two material classes are intensely investigated on the quest for new functionalities which could be used in devices. In this talk I’ll show some results of my research in the investigation of complex oxides heterostructures and 2D van der Waals materials. My investigation is done by using primarily x-ray dichroic spectroscopy techniques which allow probing orbital anisotropy and magnetic moment resolved by chemical specimen. I’ll show how x-ray dichroism can give important insights in the understanding of these fascinating materials.
