Although cubic rock salt-CoO has been extensively studied, the magnetic properties of the main nanoscale CoO polymorphs (hexagonal wurtzite and cubic zinc blende structures) are rather poorly understood. Here, a detailed ...

Chiral materials, where no improper symmetry operations such as inversion are present, are systems prone to the appearance of a skyrmion lattice. Recently it has been shown theoretically that not only ferromagnets (FMs) ...

Two-dimensional (2D) WO3 nanosheets exhibit a range of novel properties and functionalities that render them attractive for advanced nanotechnologies. However, at the ultimate 2D limit of single-layer thickness, the ...
