ASIAA/NTU CCMS/NTU Physics Joint Colloquium
截止日期:2011-03-15

Speaker: Chia-Ling Chien ( Johns Hopkins University)

Topic: Nanomagnets: Poles or no Poles

Time: 3/15 (Tuesday) 14:20 - 15:10

Place: Room 104, CCM-New Physics Building



Abstract: Magnets have been known since antiquity, but the intriguing phenomena in nanomagnets have been revealed only during the last decade made possible by advanced fabrication, imaging, measurements, theory, and simulation. Nanomagnets are small magnets with well-defined shapes in the submicron size range with competing exchange energy and magnetostatic energy. By tuning the size and shape of the nanomagnets, one can realize a variety of spin structures, some of which have no macroscopic counterparts. Nanomagnets containing vortices and antivortices also display fascinating dynamics under a magnetic field or electric current. Patterned nanomagnets are exploited in read-heads and MRAM, where the size and shape of the nanomagnets are as important as the intricate effects that enable the technology.
