Ferromagnets (FMs) have been a key ingredient in information technology because it is easy to manipulate and read out the magnetization. Antiferromagnets (AFMs) have magnetic moments with alternating direction resulting in negligible magnetization. This gives them high processing and device downscaling features, but this also makes it challenging to manipulate and interact with the AFM order. This thesis studies this interaction with antiferromagnets. NiO AFM order has been read out by electrically injecting spin current via the spin Hall effect in thin heavy metal films. In DyFeO3, both Dy and Fe magnetic moments, their excitation and interaction have been probed. A magnetic field lifts the degeneracy of magnetic excitations with opposite magnon spin, allowing a spin current to be detected nonlocally. The AFM order and the generation of spin current can easily be controlled by an adjacent FM. Thereby, we show that AFMs have the potential to play an active role in spintronics.

Magnetic Splitting

209Bi NQR experiments, including analysis of zero-field line shapes, Zeeman-perturbed patterns and zero-field spin-echo envelopes were made to examine magnetic splitting of resonances revealed in the spectra of Main group element compounds of general composition BakBilAmOn (A=Al, В, Ge, Br, Cl). The results were explained assuming the existence in the compounds of ordered internal magnetic fields from 5 to 250 G which notably exceed those of nuclear magnetic moments. A dramatic (8−10-fold) increase in the resonance intensities, instead of broadening and fading, was observed for such compounds upon applying weak (below 500 Oe) external magnetic fields. The effect was shown to relate to the spin dynamics, namely, to the influence of external magnetic field on the nuclear spin-spin relaxation of the compounds with anomalous magnetic properties. In α-Bi2O3, paramagnetism depending on the thermal prehistory of a sample was found using SQUID-technique; magnetoelectric effect linear in magnetic field was also observed for this oxide.

Spin Polarized

The work is devoted to the discussion of magnetic dynamics features in mesoscopic magnetic structures under the action of spin transport and spin-torque transfer in the nanopillar structures. Tunneling magnetic structure consisting of autoemission cathode and patterned magnetic anode is considered. Main bifurcation changes in the states of a dynamical system, that models mesoscopic structure, are discussed for varied spin polarized current and an external magnetic field.

Conductive Thin Films

Electrical properties of conductive thin films, that are produced by vacuum evaporation on the dielectric substrates, and which properties depend on their thickness, usually are anisotropic i.e. they have uniaxial anisotropy. If the condensate grow on dielectric substrates on which plane electrical field E is created the transverse voltage U⊥ appears on the boundary of the film in the direction perpendicular to E. Transverse voltage U⊥ depends on the angle γ between the applied magnetic field H and axis of light magnetisation. When electric field E is applied to continuous or grid layers, U⊥ and resistance R of layers are changed by changing γ. It means that value of U⊥ is the measure of anisotropy magnitude. Increasing voltage U0 , which is created by E, U⊥ increases to certain magnitude and later decreases. The anisotropy of continuous thin layers is excited by inequality of conductivity tensor components σ0 ≠ σ⊥. The reason of anisotropy is explained by the model which shows that properties of grain boundaries are defined by unequal probability of transient of charge carrier.

Quantum Mechanical Approach

The discussion of the electron spin decoherence and relaxation phenomena via the hyperfine interaction with host lattice spins is presented here. The spin relaxation processes processes limit the conservation time of spin states as well as the response time of the spin system to external perturbations. The central spin model, where the spin of charge carrier interacts with the bath of nuclear spins, is formulated. We also present different methods to calculate the spin dynamics within this model. Simple but physically transparent semiclassical treatment where the nuclear spins are considered as largely static classical magnetic moments is followed by more advanced quantum mechanical approach where the feedback of electron spin dynamics on the nuclei is taken into account. The chapter concludes with an overview of experimental data and its comparison with model calculations.

Cylindrical Axis

A theory is presented for the magnetostatic modes in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic nanotubes, which have a large length-to-radius aspect ratio and an external magnetic field parallel to the cylindrical axis. The surface and bulk magnetic excitations (or magnetostatic spin waves) are studied for cases where the dipole–dipole interactions are dominant in the spin dynamics. This situation can be realized at sufficiently small wavevectors by inelastic light scattering or magnetic resonance techniques. A macroscopic continuum theory is developed, using the magnetostatic form of Maxwell's equations and the electromagnetic boundary conditions, and the characteristic equations (or dispersion relations) are deduced for the magnetostatic modes. Numerical calculations are presented for ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic nanostructures, taking Ni 80 Fe 20 and MnF 2, respectively. The spatial variations of the mode amplitudes are also investigated.

Good Agreement

According to Van Gelder the microwave absorption by a thin metal film in the presence of a static magnetic field normal to the film contains a series of peaks as the magnetic field is varied. In the present paper it is argued that these peaks correspond to Doppler-shifted cyclotron resonances of the carriers in the metal due to the quantization of electron momenta normal to the plane of the film. A simple quantum calculation is presented for the case of free electrons where the film is thin enough that to first order the microwave fields within are determined only by the boundary conditions and Maxwell's equations. The quantum expression is in good agreement with the absorption calculated using semiclassical arguments which can be readily extended to more complicated Fermi surfaces.
