Spin transport experiments in graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms, indicate spin relaxation times that are significantly shorter than the theoretical predictions. We investigate experimentally whether these short spin relaxation times…
A new current induced spin-torque transfer effect has been observed in a single ferromagnetic layer without resorting to multilayers. At a specific current density of one polarity injected from a point contact, abrupt resistance changes due…
Point contacts between normal and ferromagnetic metals are investigated using magneto-resistance and transport spectroscopy measurements combined with micromagnetic simulations. Pronounced hysteresis in the point-contact resistance versus…
The parametric excitation of spin waves by coherent surface acoustic waves is demonstrated experimentally in metallic magnetic thin film structures. The involved magnon modes are analyzed with micro-focused Brillouin light scattering…
We experimentally investigate spin-polarized transport between a ferromagnetic Ni electrode and a surface of Weyl semimetal, realized in a thick WTe$_2$ single crystal. For highly-transparent Ni-WTe$_2$ planar junctions, we observe…
Observation of surface-plasmon phenomena that are dependent upon the handedness of the circularly polarized incident light (spin) is presented. The polarization-dependent near-field intensity distribution obtained in our experiment is…
Phonon spectroscopy is used to investigate the mechanism of current-induced spin torques in nonmagnetic/ferromagnetic (N/F) point contacts. Magnetization excitations observed in the magneto-conductance of the point contacts are pronounced…
Spin Seebeck effect has been investigated in Pt/$\varepsilon$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ bilayers. The $\varepsilon$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ thin layer with $40-70$~nm thickness were deposited by a spin-coating method on Y:ZrO$_2$(100) substrates. The prepared layers…
Using micromagnetic simulations, we have investigated spin dynamics in a spin-valve bi-layer in the presence of a thermal gradient. The direction and the intensity of the gradient allow to excite the spin wave modes of each layer…
Spin-orbit torques offer a promising mechanism for electrically controlling magnetization dynamics in nanoscale heterostructures. While spin-orbit torques occur predominately at interfaces, the physical mechanisms underlying these torques…
Spin-orbit interaction in quantum wires leads to a spin resonance at low temperatures, even in the absence of an external dc magnetic field. We study the effect of electron-electron interaction on the resonance. This interaction is strong…
We study electronic transport through a ferromagnet normal-metal ferromagnet system and we investigate the effect of hyperfine interaction between electrons and nuclei in the normal-metal part. A switching of the magnetization directions of…
Point-contacts (PC) offer a simple way to create high current densities, 10^9 A/cm^2 and beyond, without substantial Joule heating. We have shown recently (Nano Letters, 7 (2007) 927) that conductivity of nanosized PCs between a normal and…
Spin-valve based nanojunctions incorporating Co|Ni multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy were used to study spin-torque driven ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) in a nonlinear regime. Perpendicular field swept resonance lines were…
The prediction and realization of magnetic excitations driven by electrical currents via the spin transfer torque effect, enables novel magnetic nano-devices where spin-waves can be used to process and store information. The functional…
Excitation of magnons or spin-waves driven by nominally unpolarized transport currents in point contacts of normal and ferromagnetic metals is probed by irradiating the contacts with microwaves. Two characteristic dynamic effects are…
We investigate SFF structures (S-superconductor, F feromagnetic metal) with noncollinear magnetizations of F films with arbitrary transparency of FF interface. We show the existence of phase slips both at SF and FF interfaces which manifest…
Light carries both spin and momentum. Spin-orbit interactions of light come into play at the subwavelength scale of nano-optics and nano-photonics, where they determine the behaviour of light. These phenomena, in which the spin affects and…
We report on the possibility for a spin valve effect driven by edge defect engineering of zigzag graphene nanoribbons. Based on a mean-field spin unrestricted Hubbard model, electronic band structures and conductance profiles are derived,…
Spin waves are promising information carriers which can be used in modern magnonic devices, characterized by higher performance and lower energy consumption than presently used electronic circuits. However, before practical application of…
