      Multiferroic materials are mostly antiferromagnets, often containing incommensurate magnetic arrangements stemming from the magnetoelectric interaction. Using soft x-ray resonant magnetic scattering, we show that these ...
    • Torres Sánchez, Felipe; Morales, Rafaél; Schuller, Ivan K.; Kiwi Tichauer, Miguel (Royal Society Chemistry, 2017)
      The discovery of dipole-induced exchange bias (EB), switching from negative to positive sign, is reported in systems where the antiferromagnet and the ferromagnet are separated by a paramagnetic spacer (AFM-PM-FM). The ...
    • So, Kang Pyo; Chen, Di; Kushima, Akihiro; Li, Mingda; Kim, Sangtae; Yang, Yang; Wang, Zigiang; Park, Jong Gil; Lee, Young Hee; González, Rafael I.; Kiwi Tichauer, Miguel; Bringa, Eduardo M.; Shao, Lin; Li, Ju (Elsevier, 2016)
      We can mass-produce metal/carbon nanotube (CNT) composites that show improved radiation tolerance. The 0.5 wt% Al+CNT composite showed improved tensile strength without reduction of tensile ductility before radiation, and ...
    • Ramírez González, Max; Rogan Castillo, José; Valdivia Hepp, Juan; Varas, Alejandro; Kiwi Tichauer, Miguel (Walter de Gruyter, 2016)
      We characterize, by means of the definition of a generalized distance, the differences and similarities between binary nanoclusters. To define analytically, and to compute numerically this distance, we have generalized an ...

    • Montoya, I.; Torres Sánchez, Felipe; Redondo, C.; Kiwi Tichauer, Miguel; Schuller, Iván K.; Morales R., Mónica (American Institute of Physics, 2020)
      An enhanced exchange bias was found in FeF2/Ni interfaces by inserting dusting of Pd and Cu atoms. We have used an ultrathin wedge to investigate systematically the effect of a discontinuous nonmagnetic spacer between the ...
    • Poblete Fuentes, Simón David (Universidad de Chile, 2006)
      El ob jetivo de nuestro trabajo es contribuir al estudio de la transición sólido-líquido en sistemas bidimensionales. Particularmente, pretende contrastar resultados numéricos generados por simulaciones de dinámica ...
    • Clark, Jaime; Kiwi Tichauer, Miguel; Torres Sánchez, Felipe; Rogan Castillo, José; Valdivia Hepp, Juan (American Physical Society, 2015)
      The Ehrenfest urn model is extended to a complex directed network, over which a conserved quantity is transported in a random fashion. The evolution of the conserved number of packets in each urn, or node of the network, ...
