Interactive course addressing bulk and thin-film magnetic materials that provide application-specific functionalities in different modern technologies such as e.g. wind energy harvesting, electric article surveillance, spintronics, sensing, and data storag ...
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 lectures will provide an introduction to magnetism in materials, covering fundamentals of spin and orbital degrees of freedom, interactions between moments and some typical ordering patterns. Selected experimental techniques and their application in cu ...
The microstructure of many alloys and ceramics are constituted of very fine intricate domains (variants) created by diffusive or displacive phase transformations. The course introduces the crystallographic tools required to define, calculate and predict th ...
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 ...
Students learn about response of electrically insulating materials to electrical and mechanical fields. The emphasis is on effect of various types of defects on properties, on crystal structure/microstructure - property relations, and on ways how to engine ...
