Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin
degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this …

Combining ferromagnetic and semiconductor materials is a challenging route to create new
options for electronic devices in which the spin of the electron is employed. The spin-valve …

Much of our understanding of the atomic-scale magnetic structure and the dynamical
properties of solids and liquids was gained from neutron-scattering studies. Elastic and …

Spin-dependent conduction in metals underlies all modern magnetic memory technologies,
such as giant magnetoresistance (GMR). The charge current in ferromagnetic transition …

Recent pump-probe experiments using powerful femtosecond lasers and x-ray magnetic
circular dichroism have opened a debate on the origin of the magnetization modification on …

We report on a combined experimental and theoretical study of the spin-dependent
relaxation processes in the electron system of an iron film on Cu (100). Spin-, time-, energy …

The dynamics of collective excitations of electrons, phonons, and spins are of fundamental
interest to develop a microscopic understanding of interactions among elementary …

We quantitatively determine a perpendicular spin torque in magnetic tunnel junctions by
measuring the room-temperature critical switching current at various magnetic fields and …

Ultrafast laser-induced magnetization dynamics is analyzed in terms of the Landau-Lifshitz-
Bloch (LLB) equation for different values of spin S. Within the LLB model the ultrafast …

We study the Landau dam** of ferromagnetic magnons in Fe, Co, and Ni as the
dimensionality of the system is reduced from three to two. We resort to the ab initio linear …
