   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance.; tunneling magnetoresistance; ferromagnetic single electron transistor; spin relaxation; Spin transport;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents spin transport studies of ferromagnetic nano-scaled tunneling devices fabricated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electron beam lithography (EBL). The thesis covers three main topics: The first topic is a study of spin accumulation (relaxation) in Au nano-structures using Ni/Au/Ni ferromagnetic single electron transistors (F-SETs). LÄS MER

4. 3. Single-Electron Tunneling Spectroscopy in Magnetic Nanoparticles and Molecular Magnets

   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; master equation; magnetic nanoparticles; spin accumulation; molecular magnets; TMR; tunneling magnetoresistance; F-SET; ferromagnetic single-electron transistor; single-electron tunneling; nanomagnetism; spintronics; Coulomb blockade;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with single-electron tunneling in transistor-like devices in which the central electrode is either a metal nanoparticle (possibly ferromagnetic) or a molecular magnet. The investigated systems split into two different categories, depending on the size of the central island. LÄS MER

5. 4. Spin momentum transfer effects for spintronic device applications

   Författare :Yan Zhou; Johan Åkerman; Daniel E. Bürgler; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spin Torque Oscillator; Giant Magnetoresistance; Tunneling Magnetoresistance; Magnetism; Magnetism;

   Sammanfattning : The recent discovery that a spin-polarized current can exert a large torque on a ferromagnet, through direct transfer of spin angular momentum, offers the possibility of electrical current controlled manipulation of magnetic moment in nanoscale magnetic device structures. This so-called spin torque effect holds great promise for two applications, namely, spin torque oscillators (STOs) for wireless communication and radar communication, and spin transfer torque RAM (STT-RAM) for data/information storage.

7. 5. Spin-diode effect and thermally controlled switching in magnetic spin-valves

   Författare :Sebastian Andersson; Vladislav Korenivski; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis demonstrates two new device concepts that are based on the tunneling and giant magnetoresistance effects. The first is a semiconductor-free asymmetric magnetic double tunnel junction that is shown to work as a diode, while at the same time exhibiting a record high magnetoresistance. LÄS MER
