The discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials provides an ideal testbed for
manipulating the magnetic properties at the atomically thin and 2D limit. This review gives …

Plasmonics represents a unique approach to confine and enhance electromagnetic
radiation well below the diffraction limit, bringing a huge potential for novel applications, for …

Ultrafast non-thermal manipulation of magnetization by light relies on either indirect coupling
of the electric field component of the light with spins via spin-orbit interaction or direct …

The ability to switch ferroics (ferro-, ferri-, antiferromagnets, ferroelectrics, multiferroics)
between two stable bit states is one of the keystones of modern data storage technology …

Terahertz time domain spectroscopy was performed on orthoferrite ErFeO 3. Through the
emission from the two magnetic resonance modes, we succeeded in observing the spin …

The reciprocal interaction between spins and light has long been one of the main topics in
fundamental studies of magnetism. Recent developments of nanolitography and other …

It is shown theoretically that a single acoustic pulse, a few picoseconds long, can reverse
magnetization in a magnetostrictive material Terfenol-D. Following giant magnetoelastic …

Present mass data storage relies on the ability to switch small magnetic domains. Besides
high storage densities, short switching times [1] are important for efficient devices. After …

Spin caloritronics refers to research efforts in spintronics when a heat current plays a role. In
this review, we start out by reviewing the predictions that can be drawn from the …
