Spin electronics is a rapidly expanding field stimulated by a strong synergy between
breakthrough basic research discoveries and industrial applications in the fields of magnetic …

Electrons have a charge and a spin, but until recently these were considered separately. In
classical electronics, charges are moved by electric fields to transmit information and are …

Several improvements of the tetrahedron method for Brillouin-zone integrations are
presented.(1) A translational grid of k points and tetrahedra is suggested that renders the …

This article reviews static and dynamic interfacial effects in magnetism, focusing on
interfacially driven magnetic effects and phenomena associated with spin-orbit coupling and …

In this paper, a review of the developments in MRAM technology over the past 20 years is
presented. The various MRAM generations are described with a particular focus on spin …

Modern Magnetooptics and Magnetooptical Materials provides a comprehensive account of
the principles and applications of magnetooptics, bridging the gap between textbooks and …

Ferromagnetic materials exhibit intrinsiceasy'andhard'directions of the magnetization. This
magnetic anisotropy is, from both a technological and fundamental viewpoint one of the …

This book emerged from a close collaboration of the authors which started in the fall of 2000.
Early that year one of us (JS) had joined the Stanford faculty after spending nearly 15 years …

Contacting ferromagnetic films with normal metals changes how magnetic textures respond
to electric currents, enabling surprisingly fast domain wall motions and spin texture …

The state-tracking method proposed recently is employed for the first-principles
determination of the magnetocrystalline-anisotropy (MCA) energy. A close relationship of the …
