Temperature dependence of spin polarization in ferromagnetic metals using lateral spin valves
A high reproducibility in the performance of cobalt/copper and
permalloy/copper lateral spin valves with transparent contacts is obtained by
optimizing the interface quality and the purity of copper. This allows us to
study comprehensively the spin injection properties of both ferromagnetic
materials, as well as the spin transport properties of copper, which are not
affected by the used ferromagnetic material, leading to long spin diffusion
lengths. Spin polarizations of permalloy and cobalt are obtained as a function
of temperature. Analysis of the temperature dependence of both the spin
polarization and conductivity of permalloy using the standard two-channel model
for ferromagnetic metals suggests that a correction factor of ~2 is needed for
the spin polarization values obtained by lateral spin valve experiments.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures, 1 tabl
Contribution of defects to the spin relaxation in copper nanowires
The contributions to the spin relaxation in copper (Cu) nanowires are
quantified by carefully analyzing measurements of both charge and spin
transport in lateral spin valves as a function of temperature and thickness.
The temperature dependence of the spin-flip scattering solely arises from the
scattering with phonons, as in bulk Cu, whereas we identify grain boundaries as
the main temperature-independent contribution of the defects in the nanowires.
A puzzling maximum in the spin diffusion length of Cu at low temperatures is
found, which can be explained by the presence of magnetic impurities. The
results presented here suggest routes for improving spin transport in metallic
nanostructures, otherwise limited by confinement effects.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Trampas de Pobreza en Argentina: Evidencia EmpĂrica a Partir de un Pseudo Panel
The aim of this paper is to analyze the existence of poverty traps in Argentina. In order to do it so, the income dynamic was estimated by using a pseudo panel built from the Encuesta Permanente de Hogares. This methodology allows to overcome econometric challenges involved in testing for the presence of poverty traps: lack of long duration panels, attrition, and measurement error in income. The results do find no evidence for the existence of poverty traps due to nonlinearities in income dynamics. El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar la existencia de trampas de pobreza en Argentina. Para ello se estima la dinámica de ingresos a partir de un pseudo panel construido con informaciĂłn brindada por la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares. Esta metodologĂa permite superar los problemas economĂ©tricos que enfrenta la estimaciĂłn de trampas de pobreza: carencia de un panel para un periodo largo de tiempo, attrition y la presencia de errores no clásicos de mediciĂłn en los ingresos. Los resultados encontrados descartan la existencia de trampas de pobreza debido a no linealidades en la dinámica de ingresos.Trampas de pobreza, dinámica de ingresos, pseudo panel, Argentina.
The airbnb effect on the rental market: The case of Madrid
Trabajo Fin de Grado. Curso AcadĂ©mico 2018-2019. Grado en EconomĂa. Calificado con MatrĂcula de Honor.The debate over Airbnb is increasingly gaining attention both in academic and non-academic spheres. However, in specialized literature almost all analyses have ignored the spatial dependence behind it, that is, when landlord’s decisions to raise or keep prices are related to each other. In the City of Madrid, non-spatial and spatial regressions were compared over individual rental prices. Results suggest that traditional models were biased and, once contemplating these effects, the impact of Airbnb is no longer significant. The causes could be the lower profitability, lack of legal guarantees and a strong competition of professional hosts. As a result, there are less incentives to displace dwellings from the rental market and push rental prices u
Temperature dependence of spin diffusion length and spin Hall angle in Au and Pt
We have studied the spin transport and the spin Hall effect as a function of
temperature for platinum (Pt) and gold (Au) in lateral spin valve structures.
First, by using the spin absorption technique, we extract the spin diffusion
length of Pt and Au. Secondly, using the same devices, we have measured the
spin Hall conductivity and analyzed its evolution with temperature to identify
the dominant scattering mechanisms behind the spin Hall effect. This analysis
confirms that the intrinsic mechanism dominates in Pt whereas extrinsic effects
are more relevant in Au. Moreover, we identify and quantify the phonon-induced
skew scattering. We show that this contribution to skew scattering becomes
relevant in metals such as Au, with a low residual resistivity.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
Tailoring palladium nanocontacts by electromigration
Electromigration is employed in nanoelectronics for transforming narrow metallic wires into electrodes separated by a few nanometers gap. In this work, we fabricate either nanoconstrictions or nanogap electrodes by performing electromigration in palladium nanowires. The device resistance and the cross section of the initial nanowires allow us to regulate the conditions for transforming deterministically each nanowire in a specific final device. The resulting samples show unique electrical transport characteristics and could be used in multiple nanoelectronics research applications, from ballistic transport to electrodes for single molecular devices.Fil: Arzubiaga, Libe.

Interfacial mechanism in the anomalous Hall effect of Co/BiO bilayers
Oxide interfaces are a source of spin-orbit coupling which can lead to novel
spin-to-charge conversion effects. In this work the contribution of the
BiO interface to the anomalous Hall effect of Co is experimentally
studied in Co/BiO bilayers. We evidence a variation of 40% in the AHE
of Co when a BiO capping layer is added to the ferromagnet. This strong
variation is attributed to an additional source of asymmetric transport in
Co/BiO bilayers that originates from the Co/BiO interface and
contributes to the skew scattering.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
