Spintronics is one of the emerging fields for the next-generation nanoelectronic devices to
reduce their power consumption and to increase their memory and processing capabilities …

This work reviews fundamentals and the recent state-of-art achievements in the field of
plasmonic biosensing based terahertz (THz) spectroscopy. Being nonpoisonous and …

Perfect crystals are rare in nature. Real materials often contain crystal defects and chemical
order/disorder such as grain boundaries, dislocations, interfaces, surface reconstructions …

Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) media status, requirements, and challenges to
extend the areal density (AD) of magnetic hard disk drives beyond current records of around …

Measurements of temperature of optically excited plasmonic nanostructures are needed to
evaluate their functionality and thermal stability. Here, we describe a simple, accurate, and …

The limits of areal storage density that is achievable with heat-assisted magnetic recording
are unknown. We addressed this central question and investigated the areal density of bit …

Graded magnetic materials represent a promising new avenue in modern material science
from both fundamental and application points of view. Over the course of the last few years …

In this paper, we report all-optical manipulation of magnetization in ferromagnetic Co/Pt thin
films enhanced by plasmonic resonances. By annealing a thin Au layer, we fabricate large …

Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is being developed as the next-generation
magnetic recording technology. High anisotropy granular media such as FePt-C have been …

A write head design consisting of a split pole and a gapped near-field transducer is
presented. Through simulation, we found our design can produce a maximum effective cross …
