报告摘要：
Functionalities in complex magnetic heterostructures frequently arise from emergent interfacial phenomena, which require detailed characterization of buried interfaces to reveal the underlying physics. To this respect, interface-sensitive neutron and x-ray techniques are powerful tools to unravel the critical structure-property relationships in magnetic heterostructures. Particularly, x-ray reflectometry (XRR) and polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) can determine the depth profiles of the chemical structure and the magnetization vector; while X-ray absorption (XAS), X-ray magnetic dichroism (XMD) and linear dichroism (XLD) provide element-specific information on the charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom. This talk features some of my recent work. (I) Effects of induced magnetization on charge transport at layered oxide interfaces [1,2]. (II) Electric-field control of magnetism in ferromagnetic transition metals [3] and complex oxides [4]. (III) Intrinsic magnetic properties of interfacial phases in exchange-spring magnets [5] and utilization of exchange-spring magnets for investigating ferromagnetism-superconductivity proximity effects [6]. (IV) Interfacial magnetization of highly spin-polarized perovskites and double perovskites [7, 8]. Work at Argonne was supported by the DOE, Office of Science, MSE.
