Download or read book Magnetization Oscillations and Waves written by A.G. Gurevich and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by two well-known researchers in the field, this useful reference takes an applied approach to high frequency processes including oscillations and waves in ferromagnets, antiferromagnets, and ferrimagnets. Problems evaluated include ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic resonances, spin waves, nonlinear processes, and high frequency manifestations of interactions between the magnetic system and other systems of magnetically ordered substances as elastic waves and charge carriers. Unlike previous monographs on this subject, which are highly theoretical and written for very advanced readers, this book requires only an average college background in mathematics and experimental physics. It will be a valuable addition to the library of engineers and scientists in research and development for communications applications, and scientists interested in nonlinear magnetic phenomena. It also serves as an excellent introduction to the topic for newcomers in the field. Magnetization Oscillations and Waves not only presents results but also shows readers how to obtain them; most formulas are derived with so many details that readers can reproduce them. The book includes many summaries and tables and detailed references to significant work in the area by European researchers.

Lastly, it examines how topology influences dynamic phenomena and excitations (such as spin waves, magnons, localized dynamic solitons, and Majorana fermions). The book also shows how these developments promise to lead the transformative revolution of information technology.

This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2008 in the subject Physics - Theoretical Physics, grade: sehr gut (1,0), University of Dortmund, 550 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In this thesis spin dynamics in (Zn, Mn)Se/(Zn, Be)Se and (Cd, Mn)Te/(Cd, Mg)Te DMS quantum well heterostructures with a type-I band alignment are studied, where the carriers are quantum confined. Especially the important role of free carriers in heating of the Mn-system, by its interaction with photoexcited carriers with excess kinetic energy, and in the cooling of the Mn-system in the presence of cold background carriers, provided by modulation doping, is established. The studies are separated in three chapters. In the fourth chapter of this thesis, new results on energy and spin transfer between free carriers and Mn-ion system are presented. Contributions of direct heating of the Mn-system by photocarriers and indirect heating via nonequilibrium phonons are distinguished and their competition is discussed. In the fifth chapter dynamics of spin-lattice relaxation of magnetic Mn-ions in DMS QW heterostructures is investigated and new experimental studies on (Zn, Mn)Se/(Zn, Be)Se heterostructures are shown. Crucial for spintronic devices is the ability to tune the spin relaxation time precisely, as the spin relaxation time is important in double respects. On the one hand spin polarization must be conserved over long times and distances, if the spin shall be processed or stored in a region, which is spatial separated from the spin-injector. Especially for the possibility of utilizing spins as quantum bits for quantum information processing, long spin polarization is needed. On the other hand short spin relaxation time is needed for fast switching between different spin-states. For instance semiconductor lasers can be switched off extremely fast by reorientation of spin. This very relevant topic is devoted the sixth chapter, before the thesis is summarized in the las

Download or read book Introduction to Magnetic Random Access Memory written by Bernard Dieny and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) is poised to replace traditional computer memory based on complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS). MRAM will surpass all other types of memory devices in terms of nonvolatility, low energy dissipation, fast switching speed, radiation hardness, and durability. Although toggle-MRAM is currently a commercial product, it is clear that future developments in MRAM will be based on spin-transfer torque, which makes use of electrons’ spin angular momentum instead of their charge. MRAM will require an amalgamation of magnetics and microelectronics technologies. However, researchers and developers in magnetics and in microelectronics attend different technical conferences, publish in different journals, use different tools, and have different backgrounds in condensed-matter physics, electrical engineering, and materials science. This book is an introduction to MRAM for microelectronics engineers written by specialists in magnetic materials and devices. It presents the basic phenomena involved in MRAM, the materials and film stacks being used, the basic principles of the various types of MRAM (toggle and spin-transfer torque; magnetized in-plane or perpendicular-to-plane), the back-end magnetic technology, and recent developments toward logic-in-memory architectures. It helps bridge the cultural gap between the microelectronics and magnetics communities.
