Electronic excitations lie at the origin of most of the commonly measured spectra. However,
the first-principles computation of excited states requires a larger effort than ground-state …

The phenomenology of exchange bias and related effects in nanostructures is reviewed.
The types of systems discussed include: lithographically fabricated ferromagnetic (FM) …

Magnonics addresses the physical properties of spin waves and utilizes them for data
processing. Scalability down to atomic dimensions, operation in the GHz-to-THz frequency …

This book emerged from a close collaboration of the authors which started in the fall of 2000.
Early that year one of us (JS) had joined the Stanford faculty after spending nearly 15 years …

Control and detection of spin order in ferromagnetic materials is the main principle enabling
magnetic information to be stored and read in current technologies. Antiferromagnetic …

Multiferroics are of interest for memory and logic device applications, as the coupling
between ferroelectric and magnetic properties enables the dynamic interaction between …

Core level spectroscopy has become a powerful tool in the study of electronic states in
solids. From fundamental aspects to the most recent developments, Core Level …

Control of magnetism on the atomic scale is becoming essential as data storage devices are
miniaturized. We show that antiferromagnetic nanostructures, composed of just a few Fe …

External control of the conductivity of correlated oxides is one of the most promising
schemes for realizing energy-efficient electronic devices. Vanadium dioxide (VO2), an …

Research on the exchange bias (EB) phenomenon has witnessed a flurry of activity during
