The course provides the basis to understand the physics, the key performance, and the research and industrial applications of magnetic sensors and actuators. Together with a detailed introduction to magnetism, several magnetic sensors
and actuators are st ...
Starting from fundamentals of magnetism, the course develops the concepts required to understand and describe reading and writing processes of a magnetic bit. Similarities and differences between classical and quantum systems are addressed. ...
The course is conceived in the perspective of understanding the fundamentals of spintronics. This implies learning about magnetism at the quantum mechanical level, mechanisms for spin relaxation and spin transport, including Berry phase. Various forms of ...
Theoretical and practical expertise is gained about the microscopy of spin structures and magnetic configuiations down to the sub-nm
length and sub-ns time scales such as transmission electron microscopy, x-ray and light scattering, magnetic dichroism, and ...
