Magnetic Anisotropies in Nanostructured Matter

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Written by a leading researcher with over 35 years of experience in the field, this book summarizes the current theoretical means to describe magnetic anisotropies in nanosystems as well as their electric and magneto-optical transport properties. It covers important aspects of magnetic nanostructures, including free and capped magnetic surfaces, magnetic atoms, nanowires, nanocontacts, and domain walls. The author also discusses various properties of magnetic nanostructured matter, such as giant magnetoresistance, tunneling magnetoresistance, and the Kerr effect. In addition, he explores pump-probe experiments and current-induced phenomena using short electric field pulses.
