We generate ultrashort pulses of angularly isolated, circularly polarized extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light through the first implementation of noncollinear high harmonic generation with circularly polarized driving lasers. The noncollinear geometry offers
Based on theoretical models, the dynamics of spin torque nano-oscillators can be substantially modified by re-injecting the emitted signal to the input of the oscillator after some delay. Numerical simulations for vortex magnetic tunnel junctions show that
We have developed a novel ferromagnetic resonance measurement technique using the magneto optical Kerr effect. The measurement technique uses microwave-frequency, intensity-modulated light to stroboscopically measure the Kerr angle due to the magnetization

We used broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy to measure the second and forth order perpendicular magnetic anisotropies in Ta/ Co60Fe20B20/MgO layers over a thickness range of 0.8-5 nm. For a thickness greater than 1.0 nm, the easy axis is

Nanoscale magnetic devices and particles are being developed for a wide variety of applications including magnetic memory, nanoscale sensors, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents, and therapeutic agents. Magnetic nanoparticles are also endogenous to the

We present the results of experiments that explore the influence of molecular self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on characteristics of spin injection into an organic semiconductor, Alq3 [tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum] from a ferromagnetic metal, Co. Two

Magnetic resonance measurements of ferumoxytol and TEMPO were made using an on-wafer transmission line technique with a vector network analyzer, allowing for broadband measurements of small sample volumes (4 nl) and a small numbers of spin (1 nmole). On

Traditionally, superconductivity and magnetism have had a mutually exclusive relationship. However, the physics of superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid structures turned out to be far from being simply destructive, which has led to the hope of a new breed of
We report a systematic study of nonlinearity in the ferromagnetic resonance of a series of submicron Permalloy ellipses with varying aspect ratios. We focus on the sign of the foldover, a resonance field shift or frequency shift that occurs with high

The magnetization behavior, magnetic anisotropy and domain congurations of Co/Pd multilayers with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy capped with permalloy is investigated using magnetometry, magnetic force microscopy and ferromagnetic resonance. The

Combining superconducting and magnetic materials to create novel superconducting devices has been motivated by the discovery of the Josephson critical current (Ics) oscillations with magnetic layer thickness and the demonstration of devices with switchable
We examine the Dyakonov and Perel theory of the Spin Hall Effect from the viewpoint of irreversible thermodynamics. As thermodynamic driving forces we include the effect of the thermal gradient, the gradient of the electrochemical potential (rather than

Sources of pure spin currents are a fundamental building block of spintronic devices. In ferromagnet/normal metal heterostructures, spin currents are generated at ferromagnetic resonance. This is known as spin pumping, where spin currents of both dc and ac
