Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin
degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this …

In magnetoresistance (MR) studies of magnetic multilayers composed of combinations of
ferromagnetic (F) and non-magnetic (N) metals, the magnetic moment (or related'spin') of …

This book emerged from a close collaboration of the authors which started in the fall of 2000.
Early that year one of us (JS) had joined the Stanford faculty after spending nearly 15 years …

The development, characterization, and technological exploitation of new materials,
particularly as components in 'smart'systems, are key challenges for chemistry and physics …

Several magnetic and optical processes contribute to the magneto-optical response of nickel
thin films after excitation by a femtosecond laser pulse. We achieved a first complete …

The book covers the main aspects of dynamic phenomena in confined magnetic structures
on a level that researchers find a comprehensive compilation of the current status in the …

Hot carrier-induced spin dynamics is analyzed in epitaxial Au/Fe/MgO (001) by a time
domain approach. We excite a spin current pulse in Fe by 35 fs laser pulses. The transient …

Spin current is the key element for nanoscale spintronic devices. For ultrafast operation of
such nano-devices, generation of spin current in picoseconds, a timescale that is difficult to …

Magnetic oscillations were studied in a single, lithographically patterned disk (8 μ m diam×
0.1 μ m thick) of permalloy placed in an in-plane biasing magnetic field, excited by …

Much of our understanding of the atomic-scale magnetic structure and the dynamical
properties of solids and liquids was gained from neutron-scattering studies. Elastic and …
