Nanomagnetism and Spin Dynamics
Lecture details
The lecture will be given by Professor Ternes.
Description:
- Brief repetition of the basic physical properties of classical magnetism
- Emerging properties due to the reduction of dimensionality
- Ferromagnetism and Domain walls
- Giant magneto-resistance and tunnel magneto-resistance
- Superparamagnetism and blocking temperature
- Magnetic anisotropy and spin-orbit-coupling
- Coupling of spins: dipolar, direct exchange, orbital overlap, and super-exchange
- Ising, Heisenberg, and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions
- Excitations in coupled spins: Magnons and Spinons
- Emerging effects by coupling to bath systems: Kondo effect and intra-gap states in superconductors
- Dynamics of quantum spins, Bloch sphere and electron paramagnetic resonance
- Magnetometry and magnetic imaging techniques at the nanoscale
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge on classical electrodynamic, quantum mechanic, and solid state physics are helpful but not required.
Learning goal:
The lecture intends to give an introduction to the field of nanomagnetism and spin dynamics with some focus on recent experimental phenomena.
