Better understanding of spin transfer to non-conducting magnets

    Press/Media: Expert comment

    Description

    Spintronics promises more efficient electronics by using the spin of electrons. But spins can also be carried by magnons, magnetic quasiparticles that can travel through electric insulators. The transfer of spin information from electrons to magnons is important to the future of spintronics. A new study by scientists from the Universities of Groningen and Manchester, which was published in Applied Physics Letters on 21 February 2019, shows how best to study this transfer.
