Spintronics is a growing field that relies on the spin degree of freedom in the form of spin currents instead of electronic charge to transmit and process information. There are many advantages to spin-based devices including ...
Brillouin light scattering study of linear and nonlinear spin waves in continuous and patterned magnetic thin films

Author(s):Liu, Hau-Jian Jason
Date Issued:2014

Format:born digital; doctoral dissertations

This thesis focuses on the use of the Brillouin light scattering (BLS) technique to measure spin waves or magnons in thin films. BLS is an experimental technique that measures the inelastically scattered light from ...
