The future development of functional magnetic devices based on ultrafast optical manipulation of spins requires an understanding of the depth-dependent spin dynamics across the interfaces of complex ...

Researchers have explored the evolution of systems of interacting spins, as they transition from random to orderly alignments. Through new simulations, they show that this evolution can be ...

Spintronics -- based on the principles of electron charge and magnetic spin -- goes beyond the limits of conventional electronics. However, spintronic devices are yet to see advances, because ...

A research team at Tohoku University has shown that a steady electric current can hold electron spins in positions that ...

Research from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities gives new insight into a material that could make computer memory faster and more energy-efficient. The study was recently published in Advanced ...

Spintronic devices and their operation are governed by the microstructures of magnetic domains. These magnetic domain structures undergo complex, drastic changes when an external magnetic field is ...

A new theoretical framework reveals why magnetoelectric nanoparticles behave unpredictably and how their nonlinear physics ...

Spin-Orbit Torque magnetic memory (SOT-MRAM) is the only non-volatile memory technology fast enough to be used closest to the ...
