Jan 19, 2007 Note that we have a book just published by Springer ! Spin Dynamics in Confined Magnetic Structures III

This third volume of the book series Spin Dynamics in Confined Magnetic Structures addresses central aspects of spin dynamic phenomena, including recent new developments, on a tutorial level. Researchers can find a comprehensive compilation of the current work in the field. Introductory chapters help newcomers to understand the basic concepts. The more advanced chapters give the current state of the art for spin dynamic issues ranging from the femtosecond to the microsecond regime. This volume concentrates on new experimental techniques, like ferromagnetic resonance force microscopy and two-photons photoemission, as well as on aspects of precessional switching, spin wave excitation, vortex dynamics, spin relaxation, domain walls dynamics in nanowires and their applications to magnetic logic devices. An important chapter is devoted to the presently very hot subject of the spin-transfer torque, combining the physics of electronic transport and micromagnetics. The comprehensive presentation of these developments makes this volue a very timely and valuable resource for every researcher working in the field of magnetism.
