Permanganate (MnO4-, Mn(VII)) is widely applied at the initial stage of water treatment to, e.g., abate taste and odor compounds, Mn(II) and Fe(II). However, its selectivity limits its application for micropollutant abatement. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), whi ...
Magnetic skyrmions are vortexlike topological spin textures often observed in structurally chiral magnets with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Among them, Co-Zn-Mn alloys with a beta-Mn-type chiral structure host skyrmions above room temperature. In thi ...
A compound two-dimensional monolayer mixing Mn atoms and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinoclimethane (TCNQ) molecules was synthesized by supramolecular assembly on a Cu(100) surface under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions. The interactions in the Mn(TCNQ)(2) network and i ...
Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS), semiconductors in which a fraction of non-magnetic sites have been replaced with their magnetic counterparts, have been in the limelight of the scientific community since the turn of the 21st century. The interest in ...
We have used x-ray photoemission electron microscopy (XPEEM) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to characterize MnxGe1-x and CryMnxGe1-x-y films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The surface layers of the as-grown films probed by XPEEM present segregat ...
Individual Mn impurities deposited on Ge(100), Ge(111), and GaAs(110) substrates present magnetic moments significantly larger compared to the average Mn magnetization in bulklike Ga1-xMnxAs and MnxGe1-x dilute magnetic semiconductors. The Mn magnetic mome ...
