Applied Magnetism of Thin Films and Nanostructures

Summary

The course includes physical principles of thin-film magnetism. It includes
phenomena of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, exchange coupling, modeling of
magnetization reversal, dynamic behavior of magnetic and micromagnetic
structures, transport, and magnetoimpedance effect. Basic part is
applications in magnetic recording and memories, magnetic sensors, and spin
electronic. Important part of the course are characterization techniques
including magneto-optic vector magnetometry, SQUID, Brillouin light
scattering, Magnetic Force Microscopy, Kerr microscopy, and spin-polarized low-
energy electron diffraction.
