The magnetic iron garnets possess two outstanding properties, an excellently narrow
linewidth of the ferromagnetic resonance and a magneto‐optical activity that is without …

Pure spin currents, ie the transport of angular momentum without an accompanying charge
current, represent a promising new avenue in modern spintronics from both a fundamental …

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 …

Magnetic oscillations were studied in a single, lithographically patterned disk (8 μ m diam×

We report on imaging of three-dimensional precessional orbits of the magnetization vector in
a magnetic field by means of a time-resolved vectorial Kerr experiment that measures all …

Time-resolved scanning Kerr effect microscopy has been used to study magnetization
dynamics in Permalloy thin films excited by transient magnetic pulses generated by a …

During the past few years, a wealth of new data on laser-induced ultra-fast magnetization
dynamics in ferromagnetic metals has become available. Many of the recent approaches …

Time-resolved microscopy enables valuable new measurements of the dynamics of
