Spin Dynamics and Damping in Ferromagnetic Thin Films and Nanostructures

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in the field of spin dynamics and magnetic damping. It discusses the various ways to tune damping, specifically, dynamic and static control in a ferromagnetic layer/heavy metal layer. In addition, it addresses all optical detection techniques for the investigation of modulation of damping, for example, the time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect technique.

List of contents

Introduction.- Spin Dynamics.- Experimental Techniques to Investigating Spin Dynamics.- Magnetic Damping.- Tunable Magnetic Damping in Ferromagnetic/Non-magnetic Bilayer Films.- Summary and Future Direction.- References.
