The detailed science and technology of crystalline oxide film growth using vacuum methods
is reviewed and discussed with an eye toward gaining fundamental insights into the …

Spintronics, or spin-based electronics, is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary research area in
the development of physical mechanisms based on the spin as well as the charge of an …

Concomitant with the development of metal-based spintronics in the late 1980s and 1990s,
important advances were made on the growth of high-quality oxide thin films and …

Abstract Knowledge of the spin polarization is of fundamental importance for the use of a
material in spintronics applications. Here, we used femtosecond optical excitation of half …

Electrical currents flowing in ferromagnetic materials are spin-polarised as a result of the
spin-dependent band structure. When the spatial direction of the polarisation changes, in a …

I derive a general set of boundary conditions for quasiclassical transport theory of metals
and superconductors that is valid for equilibrium and nonequilibrium situations and includes …

Germanium‐based alloys hold great promise for future spintronics applications, due to their
potential for integration with conventional Si‐based electronics. High‐quality single phase …

Half-metallic chromium dioxide (CrO2) is an ideal spintronic material due to its near-full spin
polarization and ultralow Gilbert damping at room temperature. Based on theoretical …

Epitaxial CrO 2 (100) island films have been grown on TiO 2 (100) substrates by a chemical-
vapor deposition technique. Well-controlled surface and interface properties of the CrO 2 …

Interest in femtosecond demagnetization dynamics was sparked by Bigot's experiment in
1996, which unveiled the elementary mechanisms that relate the electrons' temperature to …
