Spin Dynamics in Hybrid Iron Oxide–Gold Nanostructures

Hybrid spin-crossover nanostructures

This review reports on the recent progress in the synthesis, modelling and application of hybrid spin-crossover materials, including core-shell nanoparticles and multilayer thin films or nanopatterns. These systems combine, often in synergy, different physical properties (optical, magnetic, mechanical and electrical) of their constituents with the switching properties of spin-crossover complexe...

Nonlocal magnetization dynamics in ferromagnetic hybrid nanostructures

Two complementary effects modify the GHz magnetization dynamics of nanoscale hybrid structures of ferromagnetic and normal materials from those of the isolated magnetic constituents: On the one hand, a time-dependent ferromagnetic magnetization pumps a spin angular-momentum flow into adjacent materials and, on the other hand, spin angular momentum is transferred between ferromagnets by an appli...

Spin Transport and Dynamics in Nanoscale Hybrid Structures

The objective of this project is to fabricate and characterize nanoscale hybrid tunnel-junction structures that will reveal new physical aspects of the spin-dependent quantum states and dynamic behavior of single electrons. Several interesting effects have been predicted for spindependent transport in ferromagnet (FM)/metal/ferromagnet and FM/superconductor/FM double junctions. One goal is expe...
