Advanced nanomaterials science (Nanomagnetism fundamentals)

The main goal in the development of the discipline is to get acquainted with the main physical phenomena arising in low-dimensional systems, which are at the basis of the functioning of spintronics and nanoelectronics devices. After listening to the course, students will learn about modern concepts and achievements in

Investigations of low-dimensional magnetism and spintronic systems. Within the framework of a special course, students are introduced to new magnetic properties of low-dimensional structures.

In addition, students will become familiar with new magnetic materials and conductive magnetic nanostructures.

The course focuses on the discussion of the physical principles underlying the creation of promising magnetic nanoscale materials, as well as their applications.

Purpose of the course

As part of the course, students will become familiar with the basic theoretical concepts in the magnetism of nanoscale structures; with a description of the magnetic structure; with single-phase and nano-composite magnets; materials for spintronics and the motion of domain boundaries, magnetic nanoparticles and magnetic island structures; magneto-caloric effect and shape memory effect in nanoscale magnetic materials.
