- In this study, we consider a technological approach to obtain a high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of the Co/Pd multilayers deposited on nanoporous TiO2 templates of different types of surface morphology. It is found that the use of templates with homogeneous and smoothed surface relief, formed on silicon wafers, ensures conservation of perpendicular anisotropy of the deposited films inherent in the continuous multilayers. Also, their magnetic hardening with doubling of the coercive field is observed. However, inhomogeneous magnetic ordering is revealed in the porous films due to the occurrence of magnetically soft regions near the pore edges and/or inside the pores. Modeling of the field dependences of magnetization and electrical resistance indicates that coherent rotation is the dominant mechanism of magnetization reversal in the porous system instead of the domain-wall motion typical of the continuous multilayers, while their magnetoresistance is determined by electron-magnon scattering, similarly to the continuous counterpart. The preservation of spin waves in the porous films indicates a high uniformity of the magnetic ordering in the fabricated porous systems due to a sufficiently regular pores array introduced into the films, despite the existence of soft-magnetic regions. The results are promising for the design and fabrication of future spintronic devices.

- Magnetic nanostructures revealing the exchange bias (EB) effect have attracted much interest in recent years due to their promising applications in spintronics, magneticsensing and recording devices with various functionalities. In this paper, we report on the perpendicular exchange bias effect in a multilayered thin film composed of [Co/Pd] ferromagnetic multilayers exchange-coupled to an antiferromagnetic IrMn. The film was deposited on a porous anodized titania template. Influences of the films' surface morphology as well as the order of layers deposited on the EB effect were studied. The enhancements of the EB field H-EB (up to 30%) and the coercive field H-C (two times) were achieved in the nanoporous films relative to their continuous film counterparts, which could be attributed to the specific morphology of the porous surfaces.

- We have systematically investigated the magnetization reversal characteristics and magnetoresistance of continuous and nanoporous [Co/Pd](5)-IrMn multilayered thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy at different temperatures (4-300 K). For their nanostructuring, porosity was induced by means of deposition onto templates of anodized titania with small (similar to 30 nm in diameter) homogeneously distributed pores. The magnetization reversal and magnetoresistance of the porous films were found to be closely related to the splitting of the ferromagnetic material into regions with different magnetic properties, in correlation with the complex morphology of the porous system. Independent magnetization reversal is detected for these regions, and is accompanied by its strong impact on the magnetic order in the capping IrMn layer. Electron-magnon scattering is found to be a dominant mechanism of magnetoresistance, determining its almost linear field dependence in a high magnetic field and contributing to its magnetoresistance behavior, similar to magnetization reversal, in a low magnetic field. Partial rotation of IrMn magnetic moments, consistent with the magnetization reversal of the ferromagnet, is proposed as an explanation for the two-state resistance behavior observed in switching between high-resistive and low-resistive values at the magnetization reversal of the porous system studied.

- We have studied systematically the effect of field cooling on the magnetic properties of continuous and porous IrMn/[Co/Pd] films. It is found that the coexistence of two ferromagnetic (FM) phases in the porous film, namely, hard-magnetic and soft-magnetic ones, with significantly different magnetic properties relates to the role of pore edges and modifies its magnetic and magnetoresistive properties. It is shown that annealing of the films with their subsequent cooling in an external magnetic field applied for aligning the magnetic moments in the antiferromagnetic (AFM) IrMn layer improves effectively the uniaxial perpendicular anisotropy of the [Co/Pd] layer and induces unidirectional anisotropy in its hard-magnetic regions, blocking simultaneously the soft-magnetic parts by pinning their magnetic moments along the film plane. Magnetoresistance of both continuous and porous films is found to be determined mainly by electron-magnon scattering, whereas the complex morphology of the porous film providing different orientations of exchange coupling at the AFM/FM interface in different film regions modifies significantly the spin-dependent electron transport. The revealed asymmetry of the field dependences of magnetoresistance is attributed both to unidirectional magnetic anisotropy of the FM layer and its splitting into magnetically nonequivalent regions in the porous films. The origin of the observed phenomenon is associated with a local influence on the orientation of AFM magnetic moments by an adjacent ferromagnet.

- In this contribution, we report the results of the studies on the novel CeMgNi2Co2 and CeMgNi2Cu2 alloys and their hydrides/deuterides. Both the parent alloys and the CeMgNi2Co2H6.1 hydride crystallize in the MgCu4Sn-type structure, while the CeMgNi2Cu2H6.0 hydride becomes almost completely amorphous. In the MgCu4Sn structure the 3d metals are distributed over the 16e site forming the pyrochlore lattice. That makes this system particularly interesting as concerns the magnetic properties. Our studies reveal that magnetic susceptibilities of the alloys are weakly temperature-dependent and therefore, the Pauli-like paramagnetism can be suggested. Additionally, the results of the low temperature neutron diffraction experiments revealed the lack of the long-range magnetic ordering.

- In this research, we have analyzed the electrical resistance of Co/Pd and Co/Pt thin multilayered films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) deposited by magnetron sputtering to determine and compare their magnetoresistance (MR) mechanisms. The studies were carried out depending on the magnitude and direction of the applied magnetic field in a wide temperature range T = 3-300 K. It is shown that both the isotropic and angle-dependent MR mechanisms are different for these two films studied. Magnon and anisotropic MR mechanisms ( MMR and AMR) are found to be characteristic of the Co/Pd film, while Lorentz and spin Hall MR mechanisms (LMR and SMR) determine the magnetotransport in the Co/Pt film. The revealed differences in the MR mechanisms are discussed in terms of the quality of interfaces and properties of 5d (4d) metals.

- Several U-based intermetallic compounds (UCoGe, UNiGe with the TiNiSi structure type and UNiAl with the ZrNiAl structure type) and their hydrides were studied from the point of view of compressibility and thermal expansion. Confronted with existing data for the compounds with the ZrNiAl structure type a common pattern emerges. The direction of the U-U bonds with participation of the 5f states is distinctly the "soft" crystallographic direction, exhibiting also the highest coefficient of linear thermal expansion. The finding leads to an apparent paradox: the closer the U atoms are together in a particular direction the better they can be additionally compressed together by applied hydrostatic pressure.
