Temperature dependence of the interface moments in Co2MnSi thin films (2008)
Journal Article
Telling, N. D., Keatley, P. S., Shelford, L. R., Arenholz, E., van der Laan, G., Hicken, R. J., …Miyazaki, T. (2008). Temperature dependence of the interface moments in Co2MnSi thin films. Applied Physics Letters, 92(19), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2927482

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) is utilized to explore the temperature dependence of the interface moments in (CMS) thin films capped with aluminum. By increasing the thickness of the capping layer, we demonstrate enhanced interface sensi... Read More about Temperature dependence of the interface moments in Co2MnSi thin films.

Interface alloying effects in the magnetic properties of Fe nanoislands capped with different materials (2008)
Journal Article
Huttel, Y., Navarro, E., Telling, N. D., van der Laan, G., Pigazo, F., Palomares, F. J., …Cebollada, A. Interface alloying effects in the magnetic properties of Fe nanoislands capped with different materials. Physical review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, 78(10), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.78.104403

We show that Fe nanoislands capped with Al, Pd, and Pt protecting layers include an alloy at the interface with the capping layer, which explains the previously known capping layer dependence on the interparticle magnetic coupling. Vibrating sample m... Read More about Interface alloying effects in the magnetic properties of Fe nanoislands capped with different materials.

Probing the site occupancies of Co-, Ni-, and Mn-substituted biogenic magnetite using XAS and XMCD (2008)
Journal Article
Coker, V. S., Pearce, C. I., Pattrick, R. A., van der Laan, G., Telling, N. D., Charnock, J. M., …Lloyd, J. R. (2008). Probing the site occupancies of Co-, Ni-, and Mn-substituted biogenic magnetite using XAS and XMCD. American Mineralogist, 93(7), 1119-1132. https://doi.org/10.2138/am.2008.2681

Ferrimagnetic nanoparticles have many uses in industry including in magnetic recording media and transformers, however these particles are often expensive to synthesize. In this study, the Fe3+-reducing bacteria Geobacter sulfurreducens and Shewanell...

Evidence of local moment formation in Co-based Heusler alloys (2008)
Journal Article
Telling, N. D., Keatley, P. S., van der Laan, G., Hicken, R. J., Arenholz, E., Sakuraba, Y., …Miyazaki, T. Evidence of local moment formation in Co-based Heusler alloys. Physical review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, 78(18), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.78.184438

We examine the formation of local moments in Heusler alloys of the composition Co2MnZ (where Z=Si or Al) using the combined techniques of x-ray magnetic circular and linear dichroism. The existence of local moments in half-metallic Heusler alloys i... Read More about Evidence of local moment formation in Co-based Heusler alloys.

Controlled cobalt doping of magnetosomes in vivo (2008)
Journal Article
Staniland, S., Williams, W., Telling, N., Van Der Laan, G., Harrison, A., & Ward, B. (2008). Controlled cobalt doping of magnetosomes in vivo. Nature Nanotechnology, 3(3), 158-162. https://doi.org/10.1038/nnano.2008.35

Magnetotactic bacteria biomineralize iron into magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles that are surrounded by lipid vesicles. These ‘magnetosomes’ have considerable potential for use in bio- and nanotechnological applications because of their narrow size and...
