Magnetic Materials and Devices

3 Hours

Explore the fundamentals and applications of magnetic materials, in particular to nano-devices. Examine the origin of magnetism in oxides and metals, magnetic switching mechanisms, and how spin structures arise such as domain walls and topologically-protected spin states. Discuss applications to future computing nano-devices. Only one of the following may be counted: Electrical and Computer Engineering 396K (Topic 28), Electrical Engineering 396K (Topic 28), 396V (Topic: Magnetic Material/Devices).
