Magnetization can be considered as an ensemble of large number of spins. In a macrospin model, magnetization is assumed to be spatially uniform so that it can be treated as a classical vector. Typically a Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation is used to described the dynamics of magnetization. The LLG equation is usually derived phenomenologically and the parameters of the equation needs to be tuned in order to comply with the experiments. Study of the magnetization dynamics from first principles is still insufficient. In this thesis, by using the time dependent Green's function theory, magnetization dynamics is studied in two systems: quantum dot with normal leads, and quantum dot with ferromagnetic leads. Expressions of intrinsic Gilbert damping tensor as well as fluctuating torque are derived in terms of Green's function. Our expression of Gilbert damping tensor resembles the one derived from scattering matrix theory in the limit of low temperatures and wide band approximation, but is suitable for general case. Spin continuity equation of the system is also discussed, which shows how spin current is included in the equation of magnetization dynamics. Recently spin torque effect due to the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) opens the possibility of a new mechanism to manipulate magnetization. Currently most of the studies focused on infinite two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) system where current is driven by an external electric field. A semiclassical Boltzmann (SCB) transport equation was used and the nonequilibrium spin density was found to be linearly proportional to the charge current density. However, systematic investigation of such effect in a mesoscopic system beyond the semiclassical Boltzmann description has not been reported. It is purpose of this thesis to fill this gap. In this thesis, magnetization dynamics is investigated in a finite 2DEG system where current is driven by bias instead of electric field. Rashba spin orbit coupling (RSOC) in 2D ferromagnetic materials generates spin polarization in 2DEG, thus a spin torque is induced. Magnetization dynamics of the ferromagnetic 2DEG is investigated in a tight binding model, which shows similar magnetic field assist switching effect as in the experiment. Our formalism is feasible for the first principle calculation of magnetization dynamics. Subjects: Nanostructures Electromagnetism

Book Description
Spintronics manipulates individual magnetic moments to integrate logic functions and non-volatile information storage on the same platform. As is often the case in condensed matter science, advances are made through the synthesis of novel materials and high quality new physics materials. Giant magnetoresistance and dilute magnetic semiconductors are two such examples. However, the remarkable potential of spintronics for quantum computation faces major challenges when it comes to controlling simultaneously several qbits encoded in magnetic moments.After a brief introduction to concepts in nanomagnetism and spintronics, the text reviews recent techniques and their achievements in the synthesis and fabrication of magnetic nanostructures. The methods presented here emphasize bottom up or top down approaches for nanodots, nanowires and thin films. They include: focused ion beam irradiation, electron beam-induced chemical vapour deposition, chemical, and electrochemical methods. The later part of the book reviews magnetoelectric materials, the giant magnetoresistance in magnetic superlattices, dynamics effects in spin transfer torque oscillators, dilute magnetic oxides, rare earth nitrides with nuclear resonance scattering, and Mössbauer spectroscopy in spintronics. Finally, the last part of this book discusses applications to magnetic storage and bio-magnetism.Nanomagnetism and Spintronics will be useful to graduate students and researchers and engineers in the field of nanoscience.

Book Description
Spin current is the flow of electron spin angular momentum. It can either be partially spin polarized current generated due to the exchange interactions of spins and local magnetization, or pure spin current generated from spin orbit interaction. Both sources of spin current are under intensive study for their efficient interaction with nanoscale magnetic structures, and potential application of magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM), spin torque nano-oscillators (STNOs) and other innovative devices. In this dissertation, spin Hall effect mediated magnetization dynamics in Platinum/Permalloy nanowires are excited by different means and studied experimentally. This includes stead state self-oscillation of magnetization in a ferromagnetic nanowire serving as the active region of a spin torque oscillator driven by spin orbit torques. Our work demonstrate that magnetization self-oscillations can be excited in a one-dimensional magnetic system and that dimensions of the active region of spin torque oscillators, for the first time, can be extended beyond the nanometer length scale. We also demonstrate that via proper design of the nanowire shape, which results in spatial non-uniform spin current density, we can significantly decrease the phase noise of spin orbit torque oscillators. It also stabilizes the single-mode generation regime, and points out a path for partial control of multi-mode excitation in nanostructures. We also parametrically excite magnetization dynamics in the nanowires, and it demonstrates that nonlinear dynamic magnetic effect can have a larger efficiency than the direct linear excitation in spin Hall structures, and it provides additional information about excited spin wave mode systems owing to its threshold nature that is unavailable from direct excitation.

Book Description
The electroplating was widely used to electrodeposit the nanostructures because of its relatively low deposition temperature, low cost and controlling the thickness of the coatings. With advances in electronics and microprocessor, the amount and form of the electrodeposition current applied can be controlled. The pulse electrodeposition has the interesting advantages such as higher current density application, higher efficiency and more variable parameters compared to direct current density. This book collects new developments about electroplating and its use in nanotechnology.
