Spin waves are propagating fundamental excitations of magnetic systems, also carrying promises for low-power logic and data transfer. We report the measurement of thermal spin-wave spectra in single cylindrical nanowires, and their quantitative analysis as modes with a radial and azimuthal index. This opens the route for more elaborate investigations including generation, manipulation and detection. […]

Position: The project FLUSPIN is opening a 12-month position (possible extensions) for a postdoctoral researcher to explore the integration of Kramers-type thermal activation theories—validated for equilibrium conditions in superparamagnetic systems—with a functional calculus approach. This approach extends the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) to magnetization dynamics under colored noise, moving beyond the usual Markovian approximations. By incorporating […]

Angular momentum (AM) is the conserved quantity associated with rotational invariance. Harnessing its orbital component in axi-symmetric sample is often challenging. Interestingly, we show that azimuthal spin waves in normally magnetized disks are largely immune to imperfections that would otherwise prevent the wavefront from orbiting around the disk. * “And yet it moves!” is the […]

Magnetically driven microparticles provide a versatile platform for probing and manipulating biological systems. Yet the physical framework governing their actuation in complex environments remains only partially explored. In this work, we introduced a simplified model describing the magneto-mechanical response of such particles embedded in viscoelastic media under varying magnetic fields. For several years now, the […]

Spin–orbit-torque (SOT) MRAM writing exhibits an unusual current dependence: at high current amplitudes, the write probability can drop to zero or even oscillate as the current increases. In collaboration with Antaios, we showed that this behavior originates from an intrinsic, largely deterministic back-switching mechanism, and we demonstrated that tailoring the pulse fall time significantly widens […]
