Magnonic crystals with reconfigurable magnetic defects for spin-based microwave electronics

Collective spin excitations can propagate in magnetically ordered materials in the form of waves. These so-called spin waves (SWs) or magnons are promising for low-power beyond-CMOS information processing, which does not rely anymore on the lossy movement ...

Magnetic remanence in single atoms

Harald Brune, François Patthey, Stefano Rusponi, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Pietro Gambardella, Fabio Donati, Christian Wäckerlin, Aparajita Singha, Romana Baltic, Katharina Johanna Diller, Edgar Fernandes

A permanent magnet retains a substantial fraction of its saturation magnetization in the absence of an external magnetic field. Realizing magnetic remanence in a single atom allows for storing and processing information in the smallest unit of matter. We s ...
