The emergence of $2$D materials has transformed solid-state physics. The key factor driving research into $2$D materials is the ability to efficiently control the atomic-scale physical properties of monolayers and their heterostructures, which involve weak yet important van der Waals interactions. Spintronics aims to utilize the spin of conduction electrons to develop devices like spin...
Janus monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) constitute a highly interesting group of modern $2$D materials, due to the in-built symmetry breaking and its non-trivial consequences [1]. Among various TMDs, the structures forming charge density waves (CDWs) at low temperatures offer highly complex physics.
In the paper, we report a computational, density functional...
Spin transfer electronics (spintronics) promises an outstanding improvement of basic electronic devices by incorporating the electron’s spin degree of freedom instead of (or in addition to) their charge. Spin polarized Heusler alloys are highly relevant for spintronic applications owning to their predicted half-metallicity, high Curie temperature and high magnetic moment.

Layered double hydroxides (LDH) belong to the family of anionic clays which are promising for such applications as water treatment, drug delivery and sensing. LDH are composed of the mixed metal layers where metal cations are surrounded by the edge-linked hydroxide octahedra [1]. The present study is focused on the low-temperature static and dynamic magnetic properties of the...
Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) are versatile instruments providing a wealth of information about materials, such as their elemental composition, local crystal structure, defects or strains and more. Electrons as moving charged particles are also influenced by magnetism in the samples, however, this interaction is typically $3-4$ orders of magnitude weaker than the interaction of...
Heterostructures of transition metal dichalcogenides and graphene provide vast utilization in proposals of novel platform devices [1] benefiting from the proximity-induced effects [2]. Monolayer $1$T-TaS$_2$ is a peculiar example as it is known for its low-temperature magnetism and charge density phase (CDW). The CDW arises as a spontaneous distortion in $1$T-TaS$_2$, forming the David star...
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials have gained much attention because of their fundamental properties and notable potential applications in spintronics and data storage
We will present the results of our research on complex magnetic excitations in vdW vanadium trihalides VX$_3$. Particularly, vanadium triiodide VI$_3$ is a peculiar example because it hosts a unique...
