• Abstract: We explore proximity-induced magnetocaloric effect (MCE) on transition metal dichalcogenides, focusing on a two-dimensional (2D) MoTe$_2$ monolayer deposited on a ferromagnetic semiconductor EuO substrate connected to a heat source. We model this heterostructure using a tight-binding model, incorporating exchange and Rashba fields induced by proximity to EuO, and including temperature through Fermi statistics. The MCE is induced on the 2D MoTe$_2$ layer due to the EuO substrate, revealing large spin-polarized entropy changes for energies out of the band gap of the MoTe$_2$-EuO system. By gating the chemical potential, the MCE can be tuned to produce heating for spin up and cooling for spin down across the $K$ and $K'$ valley splitting in the valence band, whereas either heats or cools for both spins in the conduction band. The Rashba field enhances the MCE in the valence zone while decreasing it in the conduction bands. The exchange field-induced MCE could be useful to produce tunable spin-polarized thermal responses in magnetic proximitized 2D materials.

  We find a giant magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) constant in abundant element cerium (Ce) substituted M-type hexaferrite. The electronic structure shows that the electron transfer leads to the formation of Ce$3+$ and Fe$2+$ at the $2a$ site. The Ce-hexaferrite can be a new high-performing critical-element-free permanent magnet material adapted for use in devices such as automotive traction drive motors.

  Rare-earth doped crystals have long coherence times and the potential to provide quantum interfaces between microwave and optical photons. We measure spin dynamics of two rare-earth spin species, $145$Nd and Yb doped into Y$_2$SiO$_5$, coupled to a planar microwave resonator in the high cooperativity regime. We identify relevant decoherence mechanisms including instantaneous diffusion arising from resonant spins and temperature-dependent spectral diffusion from impurity electron and nuclear spins.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
