This paper reports spectroscopy and imaging of spin wave modes using ferromagnetic resonance force microscopy (FMRFM) in Permalloy nano-disks with disk diameters that range from 100 nm to 750 nm. The ferromagnetic resonance spectra distinguish multiple

We use ferromagnetic resonance force microscopy (FMRFM) to spectroscopically image the edge modes in individual 700 and 400 nm wide Permalloy stripes with a spatial resolution on the order of 200 nm. The imaging clearly identi es some resonances as edge

Samples composed of a polymer matrix were loaded with different fractions from 0 to 30% of Fe oxide magnetic nanoparticles with an average size ranging from 50 to 25 nm. The permittivity and permeability of the composites were determined upon a very wide

We present the observation of magnetoresistance in Co/Ca/Alq3/Ca/NiFe spin-valve devices. Thin Ca layers contacting 150 nm thick Alq3 enable the injection of spin-polarized electrons into Alq3 due to engineering of the band alignment. The devices exhibit

We have measured spin-torque-driven oscillations of Ni80Fe20 free-layer nanocontacts as a function of field direction. For a given field axis angle (10◦ from the surface normal) and magnitude, simply changing the field polarity can significantly alter the
We propose a multilayer structure that allows a reduced switching current with maintaining high thermal stability of the magnetization. It consists of a perpendicular polarizer, a perpendicular free-layer, and an additional free-layer having in-plane

We study theoretically current-induced dynamics of a transverse magnetic domain wall in bi-layer nanowires consisting of a ferromagnet on top of a nonmagnet having strong spin-orbit coupling. Domain wall dynamics is characterized by two threshold current

Thin ferromagnetic layers with broken structural inversion symmetry are subject to the Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We examine effects of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling on conduction electron spin dynamics and find that the electric current flowing along

We report on electron spin transport through electrochemically precipitated copper filaments formed in TaOX memristive devices consisting of Co(60nm)/TaOX(16nm)/Cu(5nm)/Py(60nm) with crossbar-type electrode geometry.The devices show memristive behavior

Ultrashort pulses of extreme ultraviolet light from high-harmonic generation are a new tool for probing coupled charge, spin, and phonon dynamics with element specificity, attosecond pump-probe synchronization, and time resolution of a few-femtoseconds in

X-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetometry, and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements were performed on sputtered thin films of the nominal Heusler alloy (Co 2Mn) 1-xGe x with varying Ge content and annealing temperature. XRD indicates some degree of L2 1

The neutralization energy of highly charged ions (HCIs) is used as an intermediate processing step to modify the electrical properties of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), providing an additional degree of freedom in the devices fabrication. While most

Frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FS-CRDS) was employed to measure over 100 transitions in the R-branch of the b1Σg+←X3Σg-(0,0) band for the rare O2 isotopologues. The use of 17O- and 18O-enriched mixtures allowed for line positions to be
