The course includes physical principles of applied magnetism thin films and nanostructures. Attention is devoted to understanding of phenomena, investigation methods and applications. It includes magnetic forces, magnetic moment, magnetic materials, magnetic anisotropy, modeling of magnetization reversal, dynamic behavior of magnetic and micromagnetic structures, magnetic domains, magnetic characterization techniques.
