We review the problem of spin decoherence of magnetic atoms deposited on a surface.
Recent breakthroughs in scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) make it possible to probe …

We perform a systematic investigation of the spin-phonon coupling leading to spin relaxation
in the prototypical mononuclear single molecule magnet [(tpaPh) Fe]−. In particular we …

The development of electron spin resonance (ESR) combined with scanning tunneling
spectroscopy (STM) is undoubtedly one of the main experimental breakthroughs in surface …

Nanomagnets form the building blocks for a gamut of miniaturized energy-efficient devices
including data storage, memory, wave-based computing, sensors, and biomedical devices …

Magnetic relaxation processes were first discussed for a crystal of paramagnetic transition
ions. It was suggested that mechanical vibrations of the crystal lattice (phonons) modulate …

Spin-rotation coupling, which is responsible for angular momentum conversion between the
electron spin and rotational deformations of elastic media, is exploited for generating spin …

Quantum theory of spin relaxation in the elastic environment is revised with account of the
concept of a phonon spin recently introduced by Zhang and Niu [L. Zhang and Q. Niu, Phys …

We develop a microscopic theory of spin-lattice interactions in magnetic insulators,
separating rigid-body rotations and the internal angular momentum, or spin, of the phonons …

Abstract The classical Einstein-de Haas experiment demonstrates that a change of
magnetization in a macroscopic magnetic object results in a mechanical rotation of this …

The resonant coupling of phonons and magnons is important for the interconversion of
phononic and spin degrees of freedom. We study the phonon transmission in Li Nb O 3 …
