We show that very diluted dispersions of ferromagnetic metal nanoparticles in diamagnetic hosts show a large, linear response under an applied magnetic field, which is of interest for emerging applications in sensing, integrated optical communications, and magneto-optical current transformers and transducers.  We present also a theory that describes accurately these results and that can be further extended to describe the optical properties of e.g., metal inclusions in polymers or glasses.

Quantum wells at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface with tunable electron states

Quantum wells with d-electrons at the LaAlO3(LAO)/SrTiO3(STO) interface exhibit physical properties, such as superconductivity or magnetism, unseen in conventional semiconductors (Si, Ge, GaAs, …). We have demonstrated that the symmetry of the conduction band inside the QWs can be selected at whish. This opens up novel perspectives to manipulate the electronic properties of QWs at the LAO/STO interface.

 SPINTRONICS WITH NON-MAGNETIC MATERIALS. The neighborhood   makes all difference

It has been discovered that  electric resistance of a nonmagnetic metal (Pt in our case) is depending on  magnetization state of neighboring insulating ferromagnetic layer, namely on the atomic planes forming the interface and their crystallographic orientation.
