Antiferromagnetic Spin Configuration – Hematite

Explore the fascinating world of antiferromagnetic resonance, where materials like hematite and Yttrium Orthoferrite reveal the hidden dynamics of opposing magnetic moments. Dive into the...

Exchange interaction

Electrons prefer parallel spins due to the quantum mechanical concept of exchange energy, which lowers their system's total energy. This preference is a result of...

The basics of ferromagnetism

Magnetism is the force that is exerted by magnets when they repel or attract each other. It is caused by the motion of electric charges....

An introduction to Skyrmions

Skyrmions are a class of topological solitons discovered by Tony Skyrme in the 1960s, he used this concept to describe how subatomic particles exist as...

Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR) spectroscopy

Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) is a powerful tool for investigating magnetism in materials. By applying a microwave field and measuring its absorption, FMR reveals details like...

Spin pumping: An Introductory Overview

With STT, we have seen that a current can move magnetization, but the reciprocal effect is also possible, namely the generation of a spin current...

Giant (GMR) and Tunnel (TMR) magnetoresistance

Giant magnetoresistance (and later Tunnel magnetoresistance) is one of the biggest discoveries in thin-film magnetism. Within 10 years after its discovery, it was already used...

Spin-Transfer Torque: An Introductory Overview

Next to the charge, electrons also posses spins. In normal electronic circuits it is of (hardly) no use, as they are orientated randomly in non-ferromagnetic...
