New spintronics devices for green information technology
A key step to reducing power consumption of
mobile devices is to replace volatile memory
by fast non-volatile spintronic memory.
Novel low power memories with switching by
spin-polarized currents have been proposed.
We study the rich physics of the interaction
between magnetization and spin currents as
well as photons, and we use these to excite
spin dynamics and manipulate the magnetization
on ultrafast timescales. We are probing
the magnetization dynamics to gauge the ultimate speed
limits of spin angular momentum transfer that governs device switching speed.
