Magnonics

This book collects review articles by leading experts on the excitation, detection, and manipulation of magnons, on the controllability of their function via external magnetic field, and on research pursuing the realization of magnonic devices.

Spin waves (and their quanta magnons) can effectively carry and process information in magnetic nanostructures. By analogy to photonics, this research field is labelled magnonics. It comprises the study of excitation, detection, and manipulation of magnons. From the practical point of view, the most attractive feature of magnonic devices is the controllability of their functioning by an external magnetic field. This book has been designed for students and researchers working in magnetism. Here the readers will find review articles written by leading experts working on realization of magnonic devices.

Contains the state-of-the-art in the field of Magnonics Selected invited papers from the "International Workshop on Magnonics", Porto de Galinhas, Brazil Magnonics is rapidly becoming a popular and mature field of research Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
